- A poem as well as a message in a card may be a good way of expressing your feelings and emotions toward mother and child. The poem could include verses about being a parent for the first time; the great things about motherhood; or the joys of watching your child grow up. A poem makes the card stand out from the typical card. Poem Source and Poem Poetry have sections on their websites specifically for baby poems. You can find other websites consisting of baby poems to consult if you're in need of inspiration.
- A personal message could convey the journey shared with the mother through pregnancy, how obstacles were overcome and the relief and joy of the arrival of the baby. Expressing how you intend to be part of the baby's life will bring comfort to the mother, knowing she has friends or family willing to help when needed.
- If the mother hasn't experienced being a parent before, a message giving tips and advice on how to handle parenthood could be useful. Tips on feeding a baby, nappies or baby sleeping habits could benefit the mother in the long run. Add an email address and telephone number so the mother is aware that you are available to help through the stressful period, and if possible offering your services for babysitting could be a big bonus for the mother.
- There is the option of sending an electronic card. The online cards sometimes consist of moving animation and default messages you can edit or, if preferred, send as is. There are also websites that allow you to pick from a range of baby shower cards you can print out.
