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.

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.
