Common questions
Is it okay to send belated baby shower wishes?‹
Absolutely! While it's ideal to send wishes on time, your best friend will appreciate knowing you're thinking of her and her upcoming arrival, regardless of when the message arrives. Your thoughtfulness matters most.
Should I acknowledge that my wishes are late?‹
Yes, it's always best to briefly and sincerely acknowledge your tardiness. A simple "So sorry I missed your shower!" or "My apologies for the late wishes!" shows honesty and humility, and then you can focus on your heartfelt message.
Can I still send a gift even if I missed the shower?‹
Definitely! If you wish to send a gift, it's perfectly acceptable to do so even after the baby shower. You can send it directly to her home or bring it when you visit after the baby arrives. Your friend will appreciate the gesture.
