When it comes to life events, having a baby is pretty high up there next to weddings and graduation. A little schnookie cherub is on the way, which means choosing a baby name (Ree Drummond loves thinking up baby girl names), baby-proofing the house, and picking out adorable itty-bitty clothes. There is just so dang much to be excited about, so it makes sense to share that delight with family and friends!
Enter: the baby shower.
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. 🤗
