What not to say
- ✗ "Sleep while you can!"
This phrase, although well-intentioned, can come off as dismissive of the joys and challenges of parenthood.
- ✗ "Are you ready for this?"
It implies doubt about their readiness and can add unnecessary stress.
- ✗ "Welcome to the club of sleepless nights!"
Joking about lack of sleep can trivialize the excitement and joy of the new journey.
- ✗ "Good luck, you'll need it."
While meant to be humorous, it can feel unsupportive and sarcastic.

How soon should I send a baby shower card?
Ideally, send your card to arrive a day or two before the shower or bring it with you if you’re attending in person. If you're unable to attend, sending it early ensures your warm wishes are there in time.
Can I include a personal note in the card?
Absolutely. Personal notes add a special touch, whether it’s sharing a personal story about parenting, offering support, or expressing your joy for the parents-to-be. Just ensure it's heartfelt and sincere.
What if I can't attend the shower?
It's still thoughtful to send a card. You can mention your regret for not attending and express your excitement and best wishes for the new arrival. Including a small gift or gift card is also a kind gesture.
