Most people know when they attend a shower a gift is expected -- it's American female lore. So you don't need to write anything specific UNLESS it's a themed shower, in which case you need to be as specific as your theme requires. (Like: Just Lingerie, Kitchenware, Books, Things That Are Orange, you know!) It is expected and highly appropriate to tell shower guests about the location of the bridal registry. This is where the bride has hopefully listed everything she wants from a specific store, usually. That way, Brenda who is flying in for the shower from Tulsa, who hasn't seen the bride since they were fourteen, will have an idea of what sort of things her friend is into now. You should list the location and contact information for the bridal registry. Even if the guests don't buy something off the registry, it will give them an idea of her sense of taste if they take the time to investigate. And if they don't, well, that's what returns are for.
