Read on for the best ways to say congratulations and welcome!
What To Say In A New Baby Card
The arrival of a new baby is a joyous event, so above all, your message should reflect this sentiment.
Depending on how you or the parents tend to express themselves, you can either choose exuberant language or perhaps a simpler, more restrained message if the parents are the more down-to-earth type.
Don’t forget to address both the parents in your card, or simply “Mum and Dad” if you’re unsure of one partner’s name.
As well as welcoming the new baby, you can also acknowledge how life-changing having a new baby is. You can approach this with humour, if you think it’s appropriate, with a simple statement referring to sleepless nights or any of the changes that come with having a new baby.
Spare a thought for what not to say as well! It’s best to avoid any references to future children (probably the last thing on new parents’ minds) or parenting advice. Keep your message light, positive and congratulatory in tone and you won’t go wrong.
