It truly is a privilege to celebrate with someone you care about at one of the happiest times in their life. And maybe that’s what you really want to express in your baby-shower message.Most of the message ideas so far assume that the shower is happening before baby arrives. But when he or she is already here, it opens up even more possibilities for what you might write… Many of the message examples so far are more geared toward first babies, for whom baby showers are a little more common. But you can use your handwritten message to make your shower card more relevant to a family that already has a kiddo or two.

Because gifts are such a big part of baby showers, it makes perfect sense that your personal message might refer to your gift in some way. For adoption, remember to steer clear of references to giving birth, or to baby inheriting mom’s eyes or dad’s long legs. If the couple is adopting a toddler or older child, consider bypassing the baby shower cards and going for a general congratulations or a beautiful blank card you know they would love. Whether first-timers or old hands, parents of newborns watch their worlds become unpredictable and hectic. There’s no better time for a reminder that they’re doing a great job with their kids. As you welcome your new baby girl, remember: ‘Though, she be but little, she is fierce!’ — Shakespeare Can’t wait till she arrives!”With adoption, the way the child becomes part of the family may be different, but the joy is the same, and the same kinds of warm words and happy wishes apply. When you go to sign a baby shower card, there’s a little added pressure, because your card will likely be read aloud or passed around among guests. And after the shower, it’s likely to be keep-saked and read again. But don’t sweat it—there are plenty of things you can write that will add to the joy of the occasion. In the tips and ideas that follow, we hope you’ll find some inspiration that fits your style just right. In addition to baby’s name, a post-arrival shower means you’ll also know the birth date, length, weight, and maybe even who baby looks most like. You might choose to incorporate any of these in your card’s message (and/or on a monogrammed gift). New parents will also appreciate some extra help once the baby has arrived. Here’s some ideas for things you could do. You won’t always find a baby shower card specific to expecting multiples. But that’s no problem—you can personalize your card for twins and beyond with what you write.
