Paige Drummond's wedding is getting closer and the celebrations are already in full swing! Ree and the whole Drummond crew recently gathered in Pawhuska for a jam-packed weekend full of love, laughter, and, of course, plenty of good food. Paige and her fiancé David, were showered with love—literally—with both a fun couple's party and a more traditional all-girls bridal shower. And with all that celebrating, there were surely plenty of cards filled with well wishes, advice, and sweet messages. But figuring out what to write in a bridal shower card isn't always easy! Whether you're the bride's mom, best friend, or soon-to-be in-law, finding the right words for such a special occasion can be tricky.
Ree, for one, has been soaking up every joyful moment. "I feel hungover—not from alcoholic beverages, but from the sheer love and romance of it all," she joked after showering Paige. Between sentimental toasts, teary-eyed hugs, and stacks of thoughtful cards, it was a reminder of just how much love surrounds a bride before her big day. And while gifts are always fun to open, it's often the heartfelt messages in a bridal shower card that truly mean the most.
If you've ever stared at a blank page struggling to find the right words, don't worry. We've got plenty of ideas for what to write in a bridal shower card to help you craft the perfect message, no matter your relationship to the bride.
Bridal Shower Card Writing Tips
Not sure where to start? A few thoughtful lines are all it takes to make a bridal shower card meaningful. These simple tips will help you put your best wishes into words.
Keep it short and sweet.
A bridal shower card isn't the place for a novel. A few heartfelt lines are all it takes to make the bride feel loved and celebrated. If you're struggling with what to say, keep it simple: a warm congratulations and best wishes for her future are always a safe bet.
Make it personal.
The best messages feel like you. Think about your relationship with the bride: Do you have a favorite memory together? An inside joke? A funny or sweet moment from when she first met her fiancé? Adding something personal makes your card extra special.
Wish the couple well.
It's a bridal shower, after all! Take a moment to celebrate not just the bride, but the exciting journey she's about to start with her new partner. Whether you're offering a bit of marriage advice or just wishing them a lifetime of happiness, a thoughtful sentiment about their future together is always a good idea.
Don't force humor.
If you're naturally funny, go for it! But don't stress about being witty or clever in your card—sometimes, a heartfelt message is all that's needed. If you do go for humor, keep it light and positive. (And maybe save the marriage jokes for the bachelorette party. 😉)
Consider a quote.
Sometimes, someone else has already said it best. If you're feeling stuck, a meaningful quote about love, marriage, or friendship can be a great way to tie it all together. Just make sure it's something that fits the bride's vibe. For example, Taylor Swift lyrics might be perfect for one person and totally off for another.
Write from the heart.
At the end of the day, there's no right or wrong way to write a bridal shower card. Whether it's short and sweet or a little more sentimental, what matters most is that it comes from the heart.
