So!! What DO I WRITE in a Baby Shower Guest Book!?

Below I’ve listed some sweet, cute and fun ideas and answered a few questions about WHAT TO WRITE in a Baby Shower Guest Book!
FRIENDS
When you write to your friend in her Baby Shower Guest Book, be it your life long friend or just an acquaintance, always write from your heart. That’s not to say use overly emotional words and never use the word love in a Baby Shower Guest Book. Save ‘love’ for a personal card to Mom.
As a casual friend, keep your thoughts pleasantly, short and sweet. Encourage her and remind her that you are always there for her when she is on her 100th night of no sleep! Another thought is to share a memory with her that you two shared. Remember that Mom is the center of attention in everything about the Baby Shower. It’s a wonderful idea to include the Bundle-To-Be in your well wishes, hopes, and thoughtful advice.
For your FRIENDS example
- “Congratulations (Mom-to-Be name)! Your new Baby is almost here! Your new Baby is very fortunate to have a wonderful Mother like you.”
- “I have enjoyed our friendship and watching you go through your beautiful pregnancy. your gift will be here! I’m always just a call away if you need anything my friend. Best wishes!”
- “Over the moon with excitement for you and your new . Blessing to you.”
- “Hugs and cuddles to your new family member. Any day now!! Happy Baby”

- “Wishing you all the happy adventures to come. You family is growing by 1 (or 2), and all the richer for your wonderful addition.”
