The soon-to-be parents who are busy preparing the house for their baby and all the pre-baby celebrations could really use a few well-wishes, wise words, or guidance. Adding one of these baby shower messages to your unique gifts won’t take long, and you won’t regret it. Take some inspiration from the word ‘baby’ when you want to write your baby shower messages. Don’t be concerned if you get stuck there. It’s typical to experience writer’s block, especially when attempting to come up with the perfect words to say to the soon-to-be parents. We’ve compiled a list of heartfelt baby shower notes that you can use to welcome the new addition into the world.
Baby Shower Messages
Adding a customised Card to a baby shower present for the mom-to-be or parents-to-be is a nice gesture and a kind way to show your love and support. A card with a touching message can even be kept as a keepsake by the expecting mother.
Before getting into specific text ideas, consider the following factors as you consider what to include in the baby shower card:
- Who should you address? Many baby showers are centred on the mother-to-be; however, if the baby shower invitation states that both parents will be present, or if your gift is intended for both parents, you should address your message to both parents.
- What is your relationship with the parents like? If you know the parents well, you might be able to share a personal anecdote or inside joke with them. Personal messages are usually the most effective in bringing a smile to the recipients’ faces.
- Do you have any parenting advice or suggestions? If you are a parent, you can share a universal message, such as the importance of motherhood or how to appreciate the journey of parenthood.
Now, as you pick up a pen to draft your baby shower messages, a hearty “Congratulations!” as the opening will set the tone for your well wishes for the parents and their plus one. Below are a few of our favorite ways to say ‘Congrats!’
- Both you and the baby are in my thoughts and prayers for a safe and healthy delivery.
- Here’s to a new beginning, a new journey, and a lot of firsts! Congratulations!
- I’m ecstatic for you and your expanding family! Congratulations!
- May your baby shower you with blessings for a lifetime.
- Congratulations on your fresh start and best wishes.
- I wouldn’t have missed your baby shower for anything in the world.
- I’m sending you positive vibes as you prepare to welcome a new member to your family.
- You’ve demonstrated time and time again that you’re a powerful and great woman. Congratulations and never forget that we love you and will be here for you!
If the parents-to-be has disclosed that they are having twins or triplets (or even more), you may want to mention it in the card. Here are some examples of what you could say:
- “Double the baby, double the fun, and double the silliness!”
- “The best things sometimes come in pairs.”
- “You’ve got two reasons to smile now!”
- “I’d like to congratulate you twice as much.”
- “Now you may expect to be hugged by four arms!”
