As far as life's major milestones like weddings and graduations go, the arrival of a new baby takes the cake! With a little one on the way, baby-related opportunities like choosing a name (Ree Drummond adores brainstorming baby girl names), baby-proofing your home, and picking out the cutest tiny outfits unfold endlessly. There's so much joy to celebrate, so why not share that excitement with family and friends? That's where the baby shower comes in!
It's probably the last social gathering new parents will have for a while and the perfect opportunity to share in their joy. Those closest to the family might help plan baby shower games to celebrate the mom-to-be or a cake made from scratch. No matter what though, cute baby shower gifts and cards are in order. Now, as for what to write in a baby shower card? That part might leave anyone a bit stuck. The best new baby wishes can be poignant, heartfelt, full of advice, or just a funny note to alleviate any stress. You can also personalize the card with baby girl wishes or baby boy wishes. Whichever route you choose, know that the parents-to-be will appreciate knowing that their loved ones care. 🤗
