Frequently asked questions about baby shower cards


What should I write in a baby shower card?

While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, you can always show support for a growing family and share in a joyous occasion with well-wishes and congratulations. You can also greet the new arrival with words of wisdom, or with a simple wish for a happy life full of love. Look up quotes online if you're truly at a loss for words, or turn to your favorite children's books for inspiration. (While you're at it, why not gift a copy with the card and inspire a new generation.)


How do you make a baby shower thank you card?

Sometimes a pre-made card just doesn't capture your feelings quite right. When that happens, look for a baby shower card template or open a blank document in a design tool like Shutterstock Create. Now make the card a masterpiece when you upload your own artwork or images and change the card colors to anything you desire. Best of all, you can write your greetings to the bundle of joy and their parents (or your friends and family if you're the soon-to-be parent) until you get the wording just right. For a little extra pizazz, play with the design tool's fonts and find the perfect one to complement your design. Script fonts are particularly popular for baby shower cards, and add a handmade feel even to digital designs.


Should I make printable baby shower cards?

"Absolutely! Walk into any drugstore and you'll find a wall of pale pink and soft blue hues in the section labeled ""Baby."" Leave boring and predictable mass-market card design behind and instead let your creative side shine with templates you can customize until they are exactly what you want. (If it happens to include a little soft pink and pale blue, don't worry. We won't tell anyone.) Printed DIY baby shower cards are extra charming both to give and to receive, and once you’ve designed your card you can take that customization even farther. Craft stores and print shops will have cool card stock and beautiful handmade paper for you to make the card into a unique and memorable tactile experience worthy of adding to baby's memory book. Guess what card won’t end up in the recycle bin after the party?"
