Coming up with a heartfelt message for a baby shower card is not really that difficult if you think about how you feel for the parents-to-be and about your relationship with the mom-to-be or dad-to-be. Are you a bestie or friend of the mom or dad or of both, are you sibling of the mom or dad, grandparents-to-be, and relative.
It also helps when you know the gender of the baby or if they’re having twins, triplet or so.
You can be candid or funny with your message, you can add some anecdotes of your own or some personal insights based on your experience as parent or someone who might also be expecting.
Pregnancy is a time of excitement for expecting parents and their family, especially first timers. But, it can also be scary, especially for first time moms or parents. So, it would mean a lot to them (parents-to-be) to get some messages of encouragement, and some humor can put a smile on the face.
If you’re a friend of the mom or dad of both parents-to-be, here are some ideas for you to work around with as you write your perfect message.
IF YOU’RE A CLOSE FRIEND
If you are the mom’s bestie or of the dad or both or a relative perhaps of either and you want to express your love and support, here are some ideas that you can use as inspiration as you write your own message:
1. “You are going to be an awesome mom (or dad/parents). Congrats!”
2. “Get ready to fall inlove. From one mom to another, you will be smitten from the first time you see your little angel to forever”
3. “You will be surprised to know you have never and will never love another human being like you’ll love this baby”
4. “You thought you have prepared enough, after reading all those books and magazines and having searched online. Well, the best lessons come with time. I’m excited for you.”
5. “You are in for the best ride of your life babe. Remember, i’ll be there whenever you need me.
6. “Mommyhood sounds and looks so good on you. Congrats!” (May also be for dads)
You don’t really have to write long messages. Keep it brief but not too brief in a way that it doesn’t express what you wanted to convey. Make it sound humorous, but personal and sincere. You’ll never go wrong when you write from the heart.
