Whether you're the bride's best friend or an acquaintance, here's everything you need to know before putting pen to paper.

Bridal Shower Card Writing Tips & Etiquette

The card that accompanies your gift should include bridal shower wishes in the form of a personal message from you to the bride (or to the couple).

While writing bridal shower greeting cards for the bride-to-be requires much thought and consideration. 

So before writing your bridal shower card, take a few moments to think about what you're going to say to the bride-to-be.

Remember, the most important thing is to craft a message that feels personal, genuine, and reflects both your and the bride's personalities and relationship.

By following this simple outline of what to write in a bridal shower card, you'll be sure to craft the perfect message:

1, Open with a Friendly Greeting

Begin your bridal shower message with a warm greeting where you call her by the name or title you usually call her, or with another appropriate term, such as “To the Bride-to-Be.”

2, Begin with Congratulations

Begin your card by congratulating the bride-to-be on her upcoming wedding and making it to this day.

You'll be surprised at how a simple congratulations message can go a long way. 

3, Let Her Know How Great She Will Look on Her Big Day

She's been working hard to make sure her day goes well and you should remind her that she is the center of attention.

You could tell her how beautiful she'll look on her wedding day, or boost her confidence about the stellar choices she's already made with the wedding details.

Writing 1-2 sentences emphasizing these facts will reassure her. 

4, Share Something Personal

Perhaps you have a great memory about the bride that reflects her character strengths, the depth of your friendship, or how special her relationship is to her future spouse.

Let her know how much her happiness and the prosperity of her marriage means to you.

5, Write a Heartfelt Bridal Shower Message

Send the bride off with love and well wishes for her wedding day and marriage.

When writing this message, speak from the heart and let the bride-to-be know much you care about her union and new chapter.

6, End with Words of Inspiration

Finally, include an inspiring quote in your message, and don't be afraid to borrow a few words from your favorite poet.

The bride-to-be will appreciate and remember these inspirational words. 

7, Sign Off 

Do this in a way that's appropriate for your relationship with the woman who will receive your bridal shower card.

Choosing a Gift for Your Bridal Shower Greeting Card

No matter which bridal shower card sayings you use, the best message is one that is heartfelt and sincere.

What's more, a meaningful gift together with a handwritten message are the perfect ways to remind the bride how much you care.

If you're still shopping for the perfect bridal shower gift to go with your card, here are a few tips on how to choose the best gift for a bridal shower.

1, Buy From The Wedding Registry

What better way to make a girl happy than to give her what she wants? If the bride has a gift registry, just use it. 

To ensure that the bride both enjoys and needs your gift, we suggest that you stick to purchasing gifts from the wedding registry.

2, Make It Personal

If the bride doesn't have a registry or all the items have been purchased by the time you're ready to buy, you need to buy the gift yourself.

If the bride is your friend or relative, you probably know her well. Think about the things that make her happy, even if it's something small.

A gift that goes with an inside joke between you two or reminds her of a special memory will make an impression.

3, Give a Group Bridal Shower Gift

A bridal shower group gift is a popular gifting option, both for the couple and bridal shower guests.

If you would like to surprise the bride with a big ticket item that's beyond your budget, it's perfectly acceptable for you and other guests to pool your resources and buy the gift together.

Conclusion

With these great love quotes and heartfelt messages, you'll write the most memorable bridal shower card.

An upcoming wedding is a wonderful occasion and these wishes for the bride-to-be will hit just the right note.
