What to Write in a Baby Shower Card
Shopping for baby shower gifts is easy, especially when thereâs a registry. Writing the heartfelt baby shower cardâŚnot so much. Whether youâre celebrating your bestie or a co-worker youâve never socialized with before, it can be tricky figuring out what to write in a baby shower card beyond âCongratulations!â But unless you buy really tiny pieces of stationery (we kid), youâre going to have to come up with a few other well-chosen words.
How to Address a Baby Shower Card
Take your cues from the baby shower invitation. If itâs a couplesâ shower, include both parents-to-be in your well wishes. For ladies-only showers, you can address simply to the expecting mom. A traditional greeting is âDear Meghan and Harry,â or âDear Kate,â but if you know the recipient well and want to opt for something less formal, you can use a nickname (âDear Super Sisâ) or pump her up with encouragement (âDear Worldâs Best Mama-to-Beâ).
