You’re invited to a baby shower, and the registry makes gift-giving a piece of cake—but when it comes to the card, there’s no registry to tell you what to write! If you’re wondering how to fill out your baby shower card, wonder no more: we’ve compiled a list of different ways to say congratulations, from the sincere to the humorous, as well as a basic guide for addressing your card and signing off.
Things You Should Know
- Not sure whether to address the card to one or both parents? Refer to the invitation. If you were invited by both parents, address your card to both.
- Be lighthearted and witty in your card to make the parents-to-be chuckle, or offer heartfelt congratulations.
- If you and the expecting parents are religious, consider adding spiritual overtones to your congratulations.
Steps
Writing to Parents
-
1Not sure whether to include both parents? Refer to the invite. Some baby showers are thrown for just one parent, while others are thrown for the couple. If you’re not sure whether to address your card to one parent or to the happy couple, refer to the invitation: if you were invited by both parents, address your card to both.
-
2If the shower is for both parents, reflect this in your card. Reference their compatibility or their capability to handle the adventure that is parenthood, or talk about how double the parents means double the love for the baby.[2]
- “Get ready for the adventure of being parents. You two will be great!”
- “Teamwork makes the dream work! Cheers to the parents-to-be.”
- “With two amazing parents, your baby already has everything they’ll ever need.”
- “Can’t wait to watch the two of you grow into the incredible parenting duo I know you’ll be.”
