Pro Tip: Should you write “love” to a soon-to-be in-law? If that’s what feels natural, then yes.
“Remember back when we used to play wedding with our dolls? Well, Sis, I hope your big day is even more fun and unforgettable.”.“All I can say is, my brother is VERY lucky to be marrying you.”.“Can’t wait to have you for my daughter-in-law.If the bride-to-be is family-or about to become family-that’s definitely worth calling out. If you think your message might embarrass the bride-to-be or scandalize Great Aunt Millie, then come up with something tamer. Pro Tip: Keep in mind that shower cards are often read aloud and/or passed around among guests. “Totally happy for and kinda jealous of you right now.”.“Hope you’re showered in love and kitchen essentials!”.“Congrats on finding love! (Although I’m gonna miss hearing all your wild dating stories.)”.“There has never been a happier reason for me to buy a cutting board.”.“Congrats on your upcoming wedding and (hopefully) getting the matching towel set of your dreams!”.If you prefer to keep things lighter, and you know the bride or couple well, then it’s fine (and fun!) to share a laugh with your shower card. (And it’s unlikely that the etiquette police will come hunt you down!) But if what you really want to write in your shower card is congratulations, then go for it. Pro Tip: Traditional etiquette recommends extending good wishes for a shower, but saving actual “congratulations” for the wedding itself. “Just wanted to shower you with some happy wishes!”.“Blessings to you as you prepare to say I do.”.
