You've picked out a sweet outfit or a practical gadget, found an adorable card, and now comes the moment of truth: what to write in a baby shower card?

  • Create a Lasting Memento: Many parents save these cards to look back on as their child grows.

When considering what to write in a baby shower card, aim for warmth, sincerity, and a touch of your own personality.
