Animated baby shower video eCards

A baby shower is a chance to surround a parent-to-be with encouragement before the big arrival. Not everyone can be in the room, though, and a gift shipped from a registry doesn't always carry your voice with it. An eCardToon Baby Shower card is a short animated video where a cartoon character greets the guest of honor by name and passes along your wishes, so you're part of the day even from far away. Showers come in many forms now, from a traditional afternoon party to a co-ed backyard barbecue or a virtual gathering over video, and a personal cartoon greeting fits comfortably into any of them.

We're planning playful, pastel-toned scenes for this collection: stacks of tiny gifts, a cake with booties on top, balloons drifting over a cozy party. You can choose a classic shower greeting or write your own message of up to 50 words. Good ideas include a favorite piece of parenting advice, a joke about diaper duty, or a simple 'you're going to be wonderful at this.'

Shower hosts can use a card too. A video played on the TV at the start of the party makes a fun moment, and it's an easy way to include a grandparent or friend who couldn't travel. If you're sending on behalf of several people, write all their names into your message, since the card speaks exactly the words you type.

You'll review the exact script before checkout, so the parent-to-be's name and any baby name you mention come out the way you intend. The finished card is emailed to you within minutes with a private link, and you can download it as a video in phone (9:16) or widescreen (16:9) to text, share, or attach to your registry gift note. If the shower is a surprise, send the link to the host instead of the guest of honor so it doesn't give anything away. The host can then play it at just the right moment, perhaps after the games and before the cake.
