What to write in a new baby card

A new baby is just about the sweetest thing! With so much love surrounding them and so many possibilities ahead of them, it’s a magical moment. Heartfelt messages are the best for new baby cards, so before you start, take a breath and tune into your love for the parents and the new baby. Write from your heart, but don’t forget to:

  • Address the recipients. Are you sending it just to the mum/s, the dad/s, or to both parents? For example, “Dearest Joe and Dave” or “To the best parents a baby could want”
  • Congratulate them. For example, “Congratulations on the birth of your sweet baby girl!” or “Congratulations on the arrival of your beautiful baby boy."
  • Welcome the baby. For example, “Welcome to the world, little one, we've been waiting for you.” or “What a very lucky baby.”
  • Tell them how happy you are for them. For example, “I can’t tell you how excited I am to meet her.”, “I’m so thrilled that he arrived safely and that you’re both doing well”, or “I am so happy for your family and wish you all the best."
  • Add a message of support. For example, “You are going to make the best mums a boy could ever hope to have!” or “If you ever need a helping hand, I am just a phone call away!" or “Good luck on your greatest adventure yet.”
