Baby Shower Card Message Ideas

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.

Baby Shower Card Messages

This is a continuation of my previous posts on ideas for messages to write in the baby shower card.

FOR TWINS

If the mom-to-be or parents-to-be have already revealed or have mentioned in the invitation that they’re expecting twins, a triplet or perhaps more, then you can acknowledge this in your message. Here are some ideas you can work around with:

1.   “A baby is special, but two (three or more) babies is extra special. Congratulations!”
2.   “Double cheers, double congratulations!”
3.   “More babies, more excitement and fun, but more trouble”
4.   “Yipee! You now have two (three or more) reasons to cheer”
5.   “Looking forward to meeting the little munchkins”
6.   “Double cuteness on the way”
7.   ‘Wow! Now you can look forward to four (six or more) arms hugging you”
8.   “Could there be anything better than having a baby? Maybe two or three or more”
9.   “Best things often come in pairs (or more)”
10.   “Guess you’ll need help counting those cute little fingers. Just let me know”

FUNNY MESSAGES

Pregnancy is not easy, it can be tough especially for first time moms or parents. Sometimes it helps to have a laugh about it. If you’re close with the mom or parents-to-be and you’re sure that they’re cool with some humor, then here are some ideas:

1.   “Congrats for being so creative and hardworking. Cannot wait to see your new project”
2.   “Say goodbye to sleeping in ever, but hello to your little bundle of joy”
3.   “I’m curious who the baby resembles more, can’t wait to see”
4.   “It won’t be long till you become a stain removal expert”
5.   “Wow! I didn’t know you’re that fond of me, thanks for naming the baby after me”

Finally, like in my previous post, just keep the message brief but heartfelt. Nothing beats a message that is sincere and comes from the heart.

10.    “We cannot wait to meet the little munchkin”

For A Baby Girl

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”

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.

3. Your Closeness to the Parents
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:

– Lots of hugs and kisses,
– With love,
– Lots of love,
– All the best,
– Much love,

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.
