Adding a baby shower card to your gift, with some heartfelt messages for the mom-to-be or parents-to-be, makes the shower extra especial for them. It is a genuinely thoughful gesture to show your love for them, and how happy you are for the new addition to the family.

Baby shower cards may also serve as a keepsake for the mom or parents-to-be to put in the baby journal, something to look back into years later as a precious memory.

In my previous post, I have shared some factors to consider before writing your message. I have also included some simple messages as a starter, as well as ideas for a sign-off.

Now, here are some ideas on what to write in the baby shower card if you know the gender of the baby that the parents are expecting.

For A Baby Boy

If the expecting parents are having a baby boy, you could use some of these ideas as a starter:

  1.   “Oh boy! We’re excited to meet the little dude”
  2.   “We bet the little guy will be just as good looking as his dad”
  3.   “Yipee! May your little guy bring you lots of joy and troublemaking”
  4.   “What a lucky little boy to have such cool and loving mom and dad”
  5.   “How lovely to see your family grow, cheers to your little cowboy”
  6.   “Here’s to loads of fun and excitement with your little troublemaker”
  7.   “Saddle-up! Get ready for boyhood”
  8.   “Get ready for some chasing and running around, boy oh boy!”
  9.   “Congratulations! A little heartbreaker is on the way”
  10.    “We cannot wait to meet the little munchkin”

For A Baby Girl

If you know that the parents-to-be is having a baby girl, here are some ideas of sweet messages that you  can work around or include in the baby shower card:

  1.   “The flowers blooming like on a spring time to welcome a beautiful butterfly”
  2.   “Pink and glitters everywhere. May your little princess bring you everything wonderful”
  3.   ‘May your little princess be as beautiful and sweet as her mom”
  4.   “Yipee! A bubbly barbie is on the way to love and spoil”
  5.   “Little girls grow up fast, relish every moment”
  6.   “One day you’re dressing a little princess, the nex day she’ll put on her wedding dress. Never miss out a minute”
  7.   “Get ready dad, you’ll have a hard time with the boys”
  8.   “Wishing your pink bundle of joy all the best in the world”
  9.   “We cannot wait to meet our little princess”
  10.   “Congratulations! You’re having such a beautiful angel”

Hope these ideas help you write your most sincere and heartfelt message. If you are a friend of the mom or dad or of both, then you’d know how special and joyful this moment or this chapter in their lives is for them. Keep it brief, and write something coming from the heart.

Before you write something, you first need to consider some.factors and what to include in the card.

  1.   Who to Address
Although often baby showers are for the moms-to-be, you might want to include both parents. Especially when the invitation mentions that both the mom and dad will be present.

  2.   Baby’s Gender
If you plan to gift an item for the baby, then it is good to know the baby’s gender so that you can appropriately tailor your gift and the card message.

If you want to write something funny to put a smile on the parents-to-be’s faces, then you can if you are close with them. However, if you are not on that level as of yet, then perhaps you can write something sweet and a little bit formal, just to be safe.

  4.   Parental Insight
If you are a parent yourself, you could write a message that highlight the highs and lows of parenting or you can write a message on the bond between the mom and baby.

  5.   Sign-off
End with a sign-off that’s appropriate, meaning depending on your closeness to the mom or parents-to-be. Here’s a few sign-off ideas:

Baby Shower Gift Ideas Exclusively for the Moms

Pregnancy, and let alone childbirth really takes a lot of toll on the mom, even months after she has given birth. Not to sideline dads, but really its the mom who needs extra love, care and support, especially first time moms.

They go thru a lot of mental stress during pregnancy caused by the hormones and bodily changes, but whatever she goes thru during that period is nothing close to what she goes thru during childbirth and post pregnancy.

If you are thinking about what baby shower gift to get, it is a great idea to include a gift exclusively for the mom, something that will give her a moment of relaxation, peace, and some self-pampering. Here are some gift ideas.

  1.   Me Time

Moms post pregnancy, especially those who already have kids, will have her hands full with the addition of another baby. For first time moms, everything will be new and therefore challenging to her, resulting to physical stress. Hence, moms will love to have some alone time with nothing on their hands and nothing to think or worry about. Even a day of ‘me time’ is like heaven for her.

Gift her with a voucher or gift certificate for a certified and trusted babysitting service. You can wrap or place the voucher or the gift certificate in a nicely printed or customized card. She’ll be very happy and grateful to have a moment to herself.

  2.   Spa Day

Everybody loves to have a day of self pampering, even those who aren’t moms. What more, a mom who has a lot on her hands, barely getting rest or sleep.

This gift is best paired with the babysitter voucher. While the kids are  being looked after and well taken cared of by a certified babysitter, she can have all the time to herself. Gift her with a spa certificate, make sure that it is open date, so she can choose when to go.

You can even join her along with other girlfriends and have some self pampering – get a massage, beauty care, and hair spa and the likes. She will totally love pampering and enjoy the bonding with the girls.

  3.   Night Out

Another great idea is a night out with the moms girlfriends. While she’ll need to have some ‘me time’ and some self pampering at a spa, moms also need to stay connected to the rest of the world. Meaning, to be able to hang out with her girlfriends for a  movie perhaps, a dinner in some fancy restaurant, or watch a theater play or something. Some sporty moms woudl love to go out and watch a game live.

You can gift her tickets to a movie or theater play, reserve a spot for dine out with some of her girlfriends. She’ll definitely love it.

  4.   Food Delivery

Like I said, moms will have her hands full, especilly with the new baby. Surprise her with an all paid weekly food delivery subscription of healthy meals – whether precooked or frozen or freshly delivered. She will definitely appreciate not having to shop or cook.

These are just few thoughtful gift ideas that moms will surely appreciate and enjoy. It’s a tough job to be a mom without help, they barely have time to look after themselves. While you’re planning what to get her for baby shower, you might want to consider gifts exclusively for her. 

Baby Shower Gift Ideas for Keeping Precious Memories

Baby shower is not just any typical celebration. For parents-to-be, especially first timers, it’s a very special moment, unlike any other. And it doesn’t happen very often.

On the other hand, having a baby is such a special gift, a blessing that many are not blessed with. Parents does not want to miss every moment of their baby’s life, sadly babyhood is so fleeting, because they grow up so fast.

If you’re thinking about what is the best gift for a baby shower, I would suggest something that would allow parents or moms to keep precious memories of them and the baby. Here are some ideas.

  1.   Photo Album

You might be thinking, who wants photo album now that we live in a digital world? Well you know what, there is something about printed photos that make images and shots special. They evoke nostalgic emotion as you flip through the photo album than when you view them on the phone or on computer.

Gift one for the mom-to-be or parents-to-be, so they get the reason to print some of the photos they’ve taken on their phone perhaps, and enjoy flipping through the album and sharing memories as their child grows up.

There are variety of photo album to choose from these days, with differetnt designs and you can now even get them customized. Perhaps you can have one album per year – the child at 1, 2, 3 year old and so on. Moms will surely love to have one.

  2.    Picture Frames

Like photo album, picture frame is a great way to store and display memories. There are many unique and creative pictures frames, and you can even order customized ones.

For example, a 12 slot picture frame with each slot in different shapes and design. With this one, you can display the baby’s milestones. Photo frames  can be kept for years.

  3.   Journal

This is another creative gift idea that moms specially, will love to receive. Journals today have a lot of designs, and like photo album and picture frames, you can also have it customized.

Journals does not only have notes where the mom can write mementos and milestones of her baby and all the precious experiences she has with her baby. Journal also have slots for printed pictures. It is sort of like photo album but more, because they can store pictures that may be in connection with the notes they’ve written.

  4.   Photograph Session

This one may be a little costly, but will be very special for the mom or parents-to-be.

Nothing beats a professional photography. Get a gift certificate for photography session to capture the newborn baby’s first smile, for instance. Most moms would love to be able to capture and keep those first moments with their newborn baby, and share beautiful shots with family and friends.

Finally, I hope these ideas may serve as inspiration to you and help give you an idea for a gift.

These gifts can be a keepsake and be kept for years. When the child grows up, moms or parents could share the photo albums or the picture frames or let them read the journal. These gift ideas are creative and thoughtful.

Baby Shower Gift Ideas for the Mom and Baby

Baby showers are a time to celebrate the impending parenthood and for the blessing of a new life, and gifts don’t always have to be just for the baby or just to be for the moms-to-be or parents-to-be. Both the baby and the parents, especially the moms need love and care.

Here’s a list of best baby shower gifts for the mom and baby.

  1.   Portable Changing Mat

This comes in handy and is very significant, especially for first time moms and those moms who are always on the go. Busy moms have a lot of work to do, so many places to go to and a lot of people to meet. With this, she can easily change her baby’s nappy anywhere and anytime.

  2.   Stroller Organizer

This might be a bit costly for a gift, but this is one of the most useful of all baby essentials. Seasoned moms or parents know how important to have all the necessities within reach., especially moms who are always on the go.

A stroller organizer have compartments with different sizes where she can store different essentials like diapers, baby towels or wipes, and baby bottles and also her own stuff like car keys and other stuff.

  3.   Phone Holder

Mom’s, especially with a newborn baby have their hands full, and often they forget about their phone or where they placed them. A phone holder will be a great help for her where she can easily mount them on the car’s dashboard or even on the stroller, allowing her to multitask.

  4.   Diaper Caddy

This is really a life changer and a great help for moms on go. This caddy ensures that moms have everything they need wherever they go because it can conveniently store diapering essentials like diapers, wipes, portable changing mat, creams and the like.

  5.   Clothing Divider

This is actually one of the most practical baby shower gifts that are often never thought of. It may be a little pricey for a gift, but it can be used for a long time, and passed on to the next baby.

It helps mom manage the baby clothings and accesories. It has color coded dividers that can be labelled as well, so she knows where everything is whenever she needs them.

  6.   Diaper Pail

Helps moms or parents store used diapers. It can store a number of them, so she does not have to go to the trash everytime she changes the baby’s nappy.

It is also better than regular trash cans, because it can really lock its odor. It can be placed near or right next to the changing table.

Finally, these are just some of the gifts that moms or parents-to-be are sure to appreciate, and they will surely be of great help for them. Also, these baby items can be used for a long time and can even be passed on to next babies. They may be a bit pricey than other baby shower gifts, but they are practical and very useful.
