Wondering What to Write in a Bridal Shower Card? We've Got Literally 100 Ideas
While your bestie’s bridal shower might be a slightly smaller deal than, say, her actual wedding, it’s still a moment in her engagement ~journey~ that deserves to be celebrated. And let's be real, bridal showers are normally so fun when you're a guest! All you gotta do is dress up, sip brunch cocktails, and size up the other bridesmaids while you mingle. If your adorable custom gift just so happens to outshine that girl from college’s matching “Mr.” and “Mrs.” mugs, so be it!
Now, every bride loves a thoughtful gift, but there’s just something extra heartwarming about the card that goes with it. This is, after all, a momentous occasion leading up to a very big day, and it's nice to feel loved—especially in writing—throughout the journey. And while striking the right balance between funny and so heartfelt that she sobs into the wrapping paper can be difficult, it can be done. In fact, we’ve got 100 wishes to write in a bridal shower card that will leave the bride smiling…and snotty. Read on and pick what speaks to you!

You’ve been by my side our entire lives and now I’m so excited to stand by yours while you marry the love of your life.
My sweet sister, you deserve only the best! I’m so glad you found it in [insert spouse's name].
I'm def going to miss your dating app horror stories, but tbh I'm also happy you don't have to deal with that trauma anymore.
I feel so lucky to have spent an entire childhood with you. Your sweet [husband/wife] is even luckier to spend forever with you.
I’ve spent my whole life looking up to you and that will never change. I know your marriage will be just as much of an example.
I hope [insert spouse’s name] knows that they're gonna have to share you.
