Baby shower messages for coworkers and acquaintances.
There will be plenty of times you want to congratulate colleagues or people you don’t know that well. Maybe you need the perfect words for a baby shower card for your boss, or don’t know what to say when someone you meet mentions it in passing. In many cases, you might not know both of the parents, making it hard to speak about the love they share or their decision to become parents.
Some of the best baby shower messages for coworkers and acquaintances focus on humor, because if we’re being genuine, the more heartfelt messages are for people we’re truly closest to. Humor can also be just the injection of joy that the expecting parent needs to push through the next bout of nerves.
You can show support without crossing boundaries using these baby shower messages for coworkers and acquaintances. Think about all the ways you can use them, too, from banners for the breakroom to short messages you can memorize for the next pregnancy that comes up in conversation.
- Your future includes more coffee, more tiny socks, and more love than you can imagine.
- Some of the smallest moments will be the ones you treasure most.
- Get ready to develop superhuman reflexes. In a few months, you’ll be able to catch a falling pacifier midair without blinking.
Pair funny baby shower messages with equally funny images. Could you depict the parent-to-be as a superhero in a custom card?
- Your kindness, patience, and love already make you an incredible person to be around. Now, they’ll make you an incredible parent.

- Seeing you take this next step is so exciting. If anyone was meant to nurture, teach, and love, it’s you.

- There’s no doubt in my mind that you’ll be the kind of parent kids dream of.
Short baby shower messages for all your creative ideas.
Short baby shower messages each capture one of the emotions swirling around a new baby. Some of these messages encourage while others congratulate. Some make the future parents laugh while others become mantras for the hardest days ahead.
Perhaps the best part about short baby shower messages is that they’re each 78 characters or less. This means they can fit into all kinds of projects, from banners and flyers to announcements and Instagram posts.
- Tiny hands, big changes, endless love.
This trifecta could be beautifully represented on a banner or poster to decorate for the baby shower.
- There’s no perfect way to do this, only your way.
- A baby changes everything, and somehow makes everything feel “just right.”
- Some days will be messy. Some days will be magic. Most days will be both.
- Sleep while you can. No, really. I mean it.
- This tiny person will teach you more about yourself than anyone else ever has.
Lots of baby shower messages talk about discovering a new kind of love, but parents will also discover new things about themselves.
- Your instincts will surprise you. Trust them.
- You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to bring love every day.
- This child is lucky to have you.
- There’s something beautiful about loving someone you haven’t even met yet.
- Parenthood is a journey with no map, but you’ll find your way just fine.
- It’s OK to ignore advice sometimes.
One of the biggest hurdles for new parents is feeling like they might do something “wrong.” Even when the parenting books (and certain family members) have an opinion, though, there are always other ways to go.
- A whole new world of “firsts” is about to begin.
What “firsts” could you list out on a poster for the expecting parents to fill in when the time comes?
- You will be amazed at the strength you find in yourself as a parent.
- You’re about to meet someone who will redefine what love feels like.
- Whatever comes next, you’re ready for it.
Baby shower “thank you” card messages for after the party.
After the baby shower, the expecting parents are left with gifts and full hearts to thank people for. The best way to transmit gratitude is with baby shower “thank you” card messages that go beyond the obvious. Yes, the gifts will come in handy, and they deserve a show of gratitude. It’s the love, though, that the future parents feel truly humbled by.
Whether all loved ones could come to the shower or whether you’re responding to gifts sent from afar, these baby shower “thank you” card messages capture that deeper feeling of gratitude you have welling up inside.
- Your kindness and presence at our baby shower meant so much to us. Thank you for sharing in this moment and for your thoughtful gift.
Baby shower “thank you” messages can be personalized, too. Perhaps you want to write this one by hand and switch “meant so much to us” to “meant so much to me.” Then, your partner can write something different.
- It’s incredible to see how much love already surrounds this baby. Your generosity and support remind me how lucky we are to have you in our lives.
- I’ve felt so many emotions getting ready for this next chapter, and your support reminds me that I won’t be doing it alone. Thank you.
- One day, I’ll tell this little one about all the wonderful people who loved them before they even arrived. You’re part of that story, and I’m so grateful.
- I never expected to feel so much warmth and generosity in one room. Thank you for being part of such a beautiful day.
- Preparing for parenthood is intense, but moments like these remind me that I have incredible support. Thank you.
Switch “I” for “we” in any of these messages to use them as a message of solidarity from both parents.
- Your generosity, love, and time are all gifts I don’t take for granted. Thank you for sharing so much with me.
- The love in the room that day was overwhelming, but in the best way. I will carry it with me as we step into this new chapter.
- I might not know exactly what’s ahead, but knowing we have people like you in our corner makes it feel a little easier.
- Years from now, I’ll look back at this time and remember how supported I felt. Thank you.
- It won’t be too long before this baby learns how lucky she is to have you in her life.
Make your own baby shower messages for boy babies by switching “she” or “her” to “him” and “his.”
- This journey has been filled with so many emotions, but the love I felt at the shower is something that stands out above the rest.
- Seeing you at the baby shower made everything feel even more real. The love and joy in that room was unforgettable.
- Thank you for showing up for me in such a meaningful way.
If someone helped plan and orchestrate the baby shower, this thank you message is perfect.
- Some days I feel ready, and some days I feel terrified, but your love and encouragement remind me that I don’t have to do this alone.
- Your kindness, your presence, and your support mean more than I can put into words.
If you are overcome with gratitude you can’t find the words for, make a creative gift like a photo collage instead.
