New Baby Card Messages

New baby card messages: what to write

A new baby card is read by exhausted people, so the good ones are short and mention the parents as well as the baby. These messages do both.

Say something to the parents. Everyone writes to the baby; almost nobody checks in on the two people who haven't slept.

Heartfelt new baby messages

  • Congratulations on your new arrival. Wishing all three of you a gentle start.
  • So pleased for you both. Enjoy the small, quiet bits of it.
  • Congratulations. Lucky baby, and lucky parents.

Funny new baby messages

What do you write in a new baby card?

Congratulate the parents, welcome the baby, and offer something practical — a meal, a visit, a hand. Keep it short.
