When attending a baby shower, it is a great idea to bring a book instead of a card. Writing a message in the book is a wonderful way to create a treasured keepsake for both the parents and the child. Here are some ideas and prompts for what to write in a baby shower book:

• Write a cute personal message addressed to the new baby. You can also include a quote from a famous author or reference the book you got them.
• Include a sweet note referencing books and the joys of reading. Share your hopes that all these baby shower books instill a lifelong love of reading in the new baby and your hopes that the baby will love the story you’ve picked out.
• Write a personal message to the baby inside your baby shower book. This is a surefire way to make the parent-to-be shed some tears.
• Address the parents in your message. Congratulate them on adding a new member to the family and encourage them in this exciting new journey.
• Share your wishes for the babys future. You can write about the adventures and fun that the baby will have, or your hopes for their happiness and success.
• Write a message that reflects the theme of the shower or the season when the baby will be born.
• Use a famous quote or a line from a favorite childrens book.
• Keep it sincere, heartfelt, and simple. Remember that the parents or the baby will probably read it in a few years.

Remember that the book you choose is just as important and meaningful as the shower book message itself. Depending on your relationship with the child, you may want to choose a book with sentimental value to you, such as a book that helped shape your childhood or one that you’ve read to your own kids if you have them.
