Baby Shower Card

My cousin who lives on the opposite side of the country as I do is having a baby shower this weekend and I can't be there. Even though I haven't seen her in person in years, I would like to send a card. Would that be too weird?? If not, what kind of card should I send and what should I write in it? Might include a babies r us gift card as well.

That wouldn't be weird! That's actually very thoughtful and sweet of you. I would send a baby shower card and say you wish you could be there, and congratulate her on her pregnancy. You don't have to say too much, just sending the card (and maybe gift card) speaks volumes of itself.

My boss' baby shower is this weekend and all of us at the office are getting her a playpen and some other stuff but for the playpen we are attaching a little blank card to it. I need a cute little rhyme to put inside. If at all possible I would like to incorporate something about it being for use at the office because that's where it's going. I appreciate any help you can give me!

Yesterday I lost my pregnancy (at 4 months preg) and tomorrow is my sisters baby shower. I am very distraught over the loss of my baby and having a hard time thinking of something to write in my sister's shower card. Any Ideas??

It makes me so sad to read your question.
I really don't think you have to prove anything in your card to your sister. I'm sure she is sensitive to your situation. I really think the best thing to write would be "I love you". And that's all.
I want you to know that you have company in your sadness. We lost our baby at 20 weeks. I found out at our official ultrasound and the baby had died maybe a day or two before. We checked into the hospital with tears in our eyes and delivered our little girl 30 hrs later. They warned me that I would have ups and downs. I even catch my husband in tears from time to time. 2 saturdays ago I had a hurdle to get past. My next-door neighbor's (and very close friend) baby shower. I thought I could do it, but as she started opening gifts and every women started yelling out "Oh, how cute!", It tore at my heart! I did my best to fight back the tears. I'm sure you love your sister and wish the best for her, but that won't change the fact that her pregnancy and shower is a reminder of what you lost.
It's now been over 2 months for me and I can tell you some days will be so had and others will be totally bearable. Your heart has been broken, maybe more than you even realize right now, and it will take some time to mend.
I send my love and best wishes for you.
Good luck getting through the shower, If you feel like you need to take time out in the bathroom to shed some tears, I promise, everyone will understand!

Is congratulations ok or not really, since she wasn't trying? The card already has printed "best wishes for you and baby" which is something like what I would've wrote.

Yes! Congradulations is more than okay! Whether or not she was planning to have a baby, now she is. A baby is a miracle and deserves congradulations.
