Sample messages for baby shower cards and pregnancy congratulations to an expecting mom or couple.
These baby shower congratulations give you lots of helpful phrases to find the perfect wording for your card to the soon-to-be mother or the expecting parents.
Starting Your Baby Shower Cards
How to start your card and who to address it to
- The name you write inside the card should be the same as on the outer envelope of your card.
- If it is a ladies shower only, the shower card is addressed to the mother of the baby.
- Write both parents' names if it is a couples shower or if you are good friends with the father as well. Alternatively: For the Parents-to-Be.
- Write 'Dear (mother's first name)' / Dear (mother's and father's first name) inside the card if you are close to the expectant mother / parents.
- If the baby shower is formal write the mother's (and father's) proper name, also if you only know the expectant mother / father in a professional setting. You can also write "to the Smith family".
- You can also address your card to the baby. All the better if you already know the baby's name. Alternatively write "To the new arrival", "To the Smith baby", "To the little pea".
