Looking for baby shower gift card wording ideas? Many people wonder, is it okay to ask for gift cards for baby shower gifts instead of physical, traditional gifts? The answer is, sure! If the circumstances are right – and you know the right way to ask!
baby shower gift card wording ideas
Some people think that asking guests to bring gift cards might be less attractive – but the “gift card baby shower” is more accepted due to the fact that it makes sense for the expectation to moms who come from out of town and can’t easily bring all their gifts home.
If you’re only asking for baby shower gift cards due to the fact that you don’t trust your family, friends and loved ones to buy nice gifts – then, yes, that might be a little rude. But this is the call of the mom-to-be! In the end, it’s up to him what he wants.
Here are some ideas for wording when asking guests to bring a baby shower gift card:
- “Instead of traditional gifts, parents asked that guests bring gift cards to help build their nursery and baby collection. Any denomination is appreciated and they’ve registered with several retailers to make it easy .”
- “In lieu of physical gifts, expectant parents greatly appreciate the gift of a gift card to use toward the purchase of baby items. Gift cards from any store of your choice are welcome.”
- “Parents-to-be are excited to start their baby registry and you’ll love contributing by bringing a gift card to any baby-related store. They promise to put it to good use!”
It’s important to make sure the wording is polite and respectful, while still clearly communicating the request for the gift cards. You can include this information in the baby shower invitation, or in a separate insert.

An occasion like this makes a gift card just right!

Let’s make his trip an easy flight
So please, everyone, let’s do it right
By sending gifts in advance,

Brandon and Sara are visiting on the plane you see,
And we bathe for him and her!
Let’s make their journey home an easy flight,
Because his stomach is big and his luggage is tight.
To send a gift in advance,
or maybe a gift card, that would be great!

Baby Shower Gift Card Invitation
Mommy and Daddy have double the fun now
They are welcoming another child!
Another little miracle to be hugged and loved.
a precious gift from God above.
Mommy and Daddy will be happy with your arrival,
spend the day with them and meet their son!
But if you feel you need to bring a gift to dowry,
Please read below for a little note-
This little blessing is so great!
Blankets, booties, clothes- all these needs are met!
This fortunate family lacked very few things,
gift cards towards large items will be useful from you!
This family has everything it takes to welcome a new miracle,
all that’s missing is a monitor, car seat, and stroller for two.
We can’t wait to see you in the shower,
We just know it’s one of their best times!

His mommy lives in a far away land
What he carries on the plane must fit in one hand
The overhead bin is where all the gifts should go
Gift cards and such will fit
