The arrival of a new baby is one of the best reasons to celebrate. Whether you are family or friend, congratulating the new parents on the arrival of their bundle of joy is an age-old tradition that is still very much welcome and appreciated today.

But how do you write a loving message that goes simply beyond the ubiquitous “congrats on the new baby” message? This post looks at how you can best write a message that will be appreciated during this exciting new time.

Tips for Writing Greeting Cards for A New Baby

Before you put pen to paper or tap on the keyboard if you’re creating your new baby card online, bear these tips in mind;

• Keep the parents in mind, not just the new bundle of joy.
• Address everyone by name
• Choose your message based on your relationship – for the close family, including a note about how proud you are of them and excited to meet the new baby. Keep it less personal for work colleagues or a mum from school who you don’t know too well. Tell them how excited you are for their new life ahead, for example.
• Avoid talking about the birth, future children or anything else that may not be appropriate.
• Don’t include anecdotes from parenting that rain on their parade “welcome to a world of no sleep” may be a true statement, but it’s not something new parents want to dampen their joy.

How To Write The Perfect New Baby Greeting Message

When you come to write a new baby message, whether you are purchasing greeting cards or sending a thoughtful note with a gift delivery, you need to choose your wording carefully. Our new baby card range allows you to take control of the message and personalise it any way you wish.

Let your relationship with the new parents and their own personalities dictate how you write the message and how informal you want to be. Keep it light and positive at all times, and avoid using negative connotations.

Check out these examples;

“Congratulations on the birth of your new arrival. We hope your future is filled with lots of fun and love.”

“You are parents; I am so thrilled for you. [insert name] is one lucky baby to call you mum and dad.”

“Welcome to the club; parenting suits you, and I can’t wait to meet your new bundle of joy.”

“Congratulations on your new baby; your seat has been reserved at the 2 am club; I’ll see you there.”

“Two babies! Twice the fun! Sending you all our love and best wishes for life with twins.”

“Congratulations on becoming parents; I am so proud of you, and I cannot wait to meet my new [niece/nephew] and become a cool aunt/uncle.”

You can express your love and joy for the new parents in your life in many different ways. Whether you are sending new baby greeting cards or looking for letterbox gifts, same-day delivery gifts or gift boxes to surprise the new parents, being able to commemorate this joyous occasion will be welcomed by the new family and a great way to show you care.
