Gifts and good times sum up the golden recipe for pretty much every baby shower. Watching a loved one prep for a new chapter is always exciting—but, when that new chapter is parenthood, the excitement is through the roof! Baby showers are the perfect outlet for all that pre-baby excitement and, as a baby shower attendee, you’ll be a crucial component of this celebration!
We know you’ll want to make sure you’re showing your support for the guest(s) of honor and expressing your excitement in the best way possible. One of the most common ways to do that is by writing a heartfelt card to the guest(s) of honor. Though it may sound intimidating, baby shower card writing doesn’t have to be hard! We’ve put together this comprehensive guide to walk you through writing baby shower cards. From card etiquette to message inspo, this guide’s got it all.
Before we get started, let’s go over a few basic tips for writing and formatting a baby shower card:
Opening address. Make sure to consider to whom you’ll be addressing your card. Is this baby shower focused on the mama-to-be? Or is it a celebration of both parents-to-be? Are you closer with one of the parents? If so, do you want to include a message specifically for them? All of these questions are important to ask yourself before starting your card.
Tone. Make sure the tone of your card corresponds with your relationship to the recipient. The closer you are with the parent(s)-to-be, the more room you have to write a silly joke or offer personal advice. If the recipient of your card is someone you don’t know very well, then it’s best to stick with a more general message of congratulations and well wishes.
Gender. Make sure you word your message in a way that corresponds with the baby’s gender. If the parent(s)-to-be have already announced their baby’s gender, then it’s totally fine to include gendered language about the baby boy or baby girl in your card. If they haven’t announced their child’s gender or you’re not 100% certain, it’s best to err on the side of caution and choose gender-neutral language. We’ve put together lists of baby shower card message ideas for all three scenarios below.
Short & sweet. No need to go overboard with the congrats! Remember, parent(s)-to-be are busy, busy, busy and will already be grateful for your card. However, if you are very close with the parent(s)-to-be, then a slightly longer message might be more fitting.
Sign-off. Last, but not least, make sure to end your card with a sign-off that makes sense given your relationship to the guest(s) of honor. Here are a few examples with a warm and friendly tone:
Love,
All the best,
Warmly,
Lots of love,
Best wishes,
Hugs and kisses,
Your friend,
With love,
In addition to gifts from the expecting parents’ registry, beloved children’s books are a common baby shower gift. Make sure to check out our list of children’s books perfect for gifting at a baby shower to find the perfect book for the parent(s)-to-be and their little one.
When gifting a book, consider writing a short message on the inside cover instead of giving a separate card. Here are a few examples to help inspire you, but make sure to write a message that feels heartfelt, honest and relevant to the book you’re giving.

Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
