Welcoming a newborn into the world is an exciting experience.
A fantastic way to send your congratulations to the new parents is by sending a thoughtful e-card from Thankbox—complete with GIFs, photos, videos, and messages from loved ones. But finding the right words to write on your card can be difficult.
Not sure what to write? In this article, we’ll have a look at some newborn baby message ideas to congratulate new parents.
What to Write on a Newborn Baby Card
Finding the right words to perfectly capture your emotions and say what’s on your mind is easier than done. To give you an idea of what to write, here are four elements of a great card:
Address the parent(s): For a congratulations card, consider whether you're congratulating both parents or just one. If you're closer to the mom or dad, “To my friend [Name]” works well. Otherwise, a heartfelt message like “To the world's most amazing new parents” is sure to bring a smile to their faces.
Add your congratulations: The first part of your message should include a congratulatory note and express your excitement.
Add a message of support to the parents: Support the parents of a newborn by writing a message that shows you believe in their ability to raise a healthy, happy child.
Sign off with your name: Lastly, remember to sign off with your name or nickname so they’ll know where the card is from. It could either be from you or your whole family or a group of friends. If you’re planning on sending a group card, organise the best leaving card and collection for someone on maternity leave with Thankbox. Everyone can add their messages, and customise their fonts, photos, videos & GIFs for a truly personalised card.
