Baby Shower Card Messages: 30 Things to Write (From You or the Team)
What to write in a baby shower card: warm, funny and short messages for the parent-to-be, lines from a coworker or the whole team, and advice-style messages that won't preach.
A baby shower card is written before the baby arrives, so the tone is excitement and good wishes rather than congratulations on a birth. Here’s what to write, from a friend, a coworker or the whole team.
Warm
- So excited for you both! This baby is going to be so loved.
- Wishing you an easy last few weeks and a wonderful arrival.
- Can’t wait to meet the little one. Congratulations!
- You’re going to be a wonderful parent.
- Sending love to you and the bump.
- A whole new adventure is about to begin. So happy for you.
From a coworker
- Congratulations! We’ll miss you, but enjoy every minute.
- So happy for you. Rest, nest, and don’t give work a single thought.
- Wishing you a smooth arrival and a wonderful leave.
From the team
- Congratulations from all of us in [team]! We can’t wait to see photos.
- The whole team is so excited for you. We’ve got everything covered here.

- Your life is about to get louder, messier and much better.
- Welcome to the last few weeks of quiet coffee.

Advice (gently)
- The best advice I got: sleep when the baby sleeps, and ignore everyone’s advice.
- Trust yourselves. You’ll know more than you think.
- Accept every offer of help, and every casserole.
Short

- So excited for you!
- Little one, we can’t wait to meet you.
- Wishing you all the best.
For a co-ed shower or both parents
- Congratulations to you both. This baby has won the parent lottery.
- Two wonderful people, about to become three.
For a second baby (a sprinkle)
- Round two! Congratulations, and good luck outnumbering them.
- Your family is about to get even better.
For a virtual shower
- Sending love from afar. So excited for you!
- Wish we could be there in person. Congratulations!
What to avoid
