Baby Shower Card FAQs
Should I address the baby shower card to the mom-to-be or both parents?
If the shower is honoring the mother, addressing the card to her is perfectly fine. If it is a co-ed shower or you are close to both parents, addressing the card to both parents is a thoughtful choice.
How long should a baby shower card message be?
Two to four sentences are usually enough. Include congratulations, a warm wish, an optional personal sentence and a friendly sign-off.
Can I write a funny baby shower message?
Yes, especially if you know the parents-to-be well and they enjoy humor. Keep the joke lighthearted and avoid anything that could feel stressful or too personal.
How do you sign off a baby shower card?
Warm sign-offs work best. Try “With all my love,” “Warmly,” “Lots of love,” “Overjoyed for you,” or “So excited for your growing family.”
When should I give the baby shower card?
Attach the card to your gift or place it in the card basket at the shower. If you are mailing a baby shower gift, include the card in the package or send your note separately.
What gift pairs well with a baby shower card?
Personalized baby gifts such as a custom name basket, baby blanket, crochet rattle or newborn outfit work especially well because they combine a practical gift with a keepsake detail.
What should I put in a personalized baby gift basket?
A baby shower gift basket can include diapers, a baby blanket, bibs, a rattle, a small book, socks, newborn clothing and your handwritten baby shower card. Choose a few useful items rather than filling the basket with too many small extras.
