When writing a baby shower card, your message can be heartfelt, humorous, or a mix of both, depending on your relationship with the parents-to-be and their personality. Here are some ideas and tips to help you craft the perfect note:
How to Address the Card
- If the shower is for the mom only, address it to her by name.
- For a couple’s shower, address both parents.
- You can also address the card to the baby for a cute touch, e.g., "Dear little one" or "Welcome, sweet baby"
