Piece of cake! Especially when there’s a baby page with all of the information you need on wish lists and registries. Now, let’s talk about crafting that oh-so-heartfelt message (to put in a baby shower card, a comment on Facebook, a DM, direct text message, etc). Whether it’s your partner-in-crime or a colleague you've never shared a coffee break with, finding the perfect words beyond the standard "Congrats!" can be a head-scratcher. But don’t worry, we've got your back with some choice phrases that you can just copy and paste!
The classic approach is a friendly "Dear Mom and Dad’s Name" or even just "Dear Mom’s Name" But if you and the recipient go way back, feel free to amp up the informality with a nickname or sprinkle on some encouragement "Dear World’s Best Mama-to-Be".
Do you address both parents? Simply skim the baby shower invite for clues. If it’s a tag-team shower, make sure to extend your best wishes to both about-to-be-parents. For those girls-only gatherings, a shout-out to the mom-to-be is the way to go.
Short and sweet works like a charm, but make sure you sprinkle in at least a line or two that hits the right notes:
Celebrating your family's growth—huge congrats and best wishes.
That little one is truly lucky to have you as parents.
Hoping for a smooth journey into parenthood, topped with a lifetime of happiness!
Newborn alert! Can’t wait to meet your bundle of joy.
Here’s to the fresh chapter! Good luck and love are on the menu.
Thanks a bunch for having us celebrate with you. Wishing you the warmest congrats on your precious bundle.
Days might be long, but years are short. Savor these special moments!

When it comes to signing that baby shower card, you've got options! While the classics like "Best wishes" or "Yours truly" are always safe bets, let's get a bit more personal, shall we? Here are some super sweet baby shower card sign-offs to ponder:
Love that never quits,
Jumping for joy,
Overflowing with love and excitement,
Cheers to the little one,
Sending you loads of love,
All my very best wrapped in a virtual hug,
Warmest snuggles,
With a heart full of love,
Bear hugs and kisses,
XOXO, and then your name (because, well, that's kind of important, right? 😄).
Oh, and one last thing - until the baby makes their grand entrance, there's no sweeter gift than joining their village, adding cash to their diaper funds, and supporting their baby pages with all of the things the parents-to-be actually need! At Villie, we're all about supporting expecting and new moms. We want to make their lives easier by helping them share milestones, ask for baby items they really need, and create a strong community around their little ones. And we couldn't do it without your love and support for our expecting moms. Thanks for being a part of our mission!
