Struggling with what to say in a bridal shower card? Need help finding the perfect words for a wedding shower message. Fear not! Keep reading for a huge selection of bridal shower wishes and quotes that are ideal for congratulating the bride-to-be or couple.
A bridal shower is now a very common tradition that most brides have. It is a chance for friends and family to gather and celebrate the upcoming wedding and ‘shower’ the soon-to-be married with gifts.
It’s also a nice break from the often hectic wedding preparations that are going on! So if you’re a fairly close friend or relative of the bride it’s likely you’ll be invited to the shower (assuming there is one). But that means you’re probably going to want to bring a gift and card.
That’s where things can get tricky. Knowing what to say in a bridal shower card and what gift to bring isn’t easy.
The type of shower will play a role – is it solely for the bride or is it a couples wedding shower – and then what sort of celebration is it. Relaxed? More formal? Do your research with the planner first so you can tailor your card/gifts properly.
As for what to say – congratulate her or them, give your best wishes for a wonderful day and happy life together, maybe include a compliment about the wedding or dress as well as a few words of encouragement for a potentially nervous bride.
Reminiscing on good times you’ve shared with both or one half of the couple is always a good choice for a written message, and if you’re close enough and know their sense of humour then something funny or a small joke should be received well. Just generally be positive about the big day and the love that will be celebrated.
For a whole range of examples for every scenario, from heartfelt and funny to religious and sentimental, have a look at the wedding shower wishes below.
