75 Best Baby Shower Wishes to Share with the Parents to Be


It can be hard to sum up such a monumental life event with just a few words in a card. Although the space is limited, there are plenty of wishes that will be very meaningful for the parents to be. If these wishes don't resonate with you, try a heartfelt baby quote. The most helpful advice is to keep the messaging in the card upbeat and positive. Some folks appreciate a good laugh, so feel free to add a joke or two if you know the parents will think it's funny..

Other considerations are whether or not the parents have discovered whether they are having a boy or a girl. If they've already chosen the name, maybe try adding a cute nickname for girls on the card. You may also consider whether the family is religious. If they are, they may really appreciate a meaningful Bible verse about parenting. Are the parents in question lucky enough to be expecting a twin pregnancy? Maybe incorporate that into the card in a clever way.

After the ink is dry on the card it's time for the real fun to begin. Shop for the best baby products to have on hand, brain storm baby shower ideas, and try out some fun baby shower games.
