Common questions

What should I say if I missed the baby shower and haven't sent a gift?

When sending your belated wishes, it's best to acknowledge your absence directly and apologize. You can say something like, 'I'm so sorry I missed your special day.' If you plan to send a gift, mention it: 'A little something is on its way to celebrate your upcoming arrival!' If not, simply focus on your love and excitement for her and the baby.

Is it okay to send belated baby shower wishes after the baby is born?

Absolutely! It's never too late to send warm wishes. While the 'shower' itself is a pre-birth event, your niece will still appreciate your love and support even after the baby has arrived. You can adjust your message slightly to acknowledge the baby's birth if it's already happened, e.g., 'So thrilled your little one is here!'

Should I explain why I was late in my message?

It's generally not necessary to offer a lengthy explanation. A simple 'I'm so sorry I missed it,' or 'Life got a little hectic,' is usually sufficient. The focus should remain on your niece and her baby, conveying your love and excitement, rather than dwelling on your absence.
