New baby eCards

To who should you send a new baby arrival card and what to write?

Having a baby is a family event so you might be unsure as to who you should actually send your greetings and best wishes for the new baby. Or would you like to say more than just congrats on the new arrival but are having trouble getting the words flowing? We got you covered! 

Read on for suggestions on what to write and who to send your New Baby wishes to.

Congratulate the new parents

When a new baby arrives it is genuinely one of life’s most precious gifts - but let’s face it: it can also seem a bit overwhelming!

Let the new mother or new father know that they are not alone by sending them a sweet or humorous card offering both your congratulations and maybe some words of encouragement. 

Whether it is your friend, family member, or coworker that is expecting a new arrival or may already have welcomed the bundle of joy, they will love to hear that they have your support!

Here are some ideas for both sweet greetings and funny messages for the new parents that you can include in your ecard: 

• Wishing you days filled with joy and nights full of sleep! Congratulations!
• Can’t wait to meet your beautiful baby boy - congrats!
• Welcome to your gorgeous baby girl. Wishing you all lots of love.
• Congratulations! Welcome to the world of baby bliss and nappy changing.

Congratulate the older siblings

Having a baby sister or new little brother can be both exciting and daunting for the older siblings. Make sure that the big sister or big brother feels included in the event by sending a special congratulations card to them as well. Are the children not old enough to have their own email or smartphone? Send the e-card to the parents' email or phone and let them enjoy the family moment together - the gesture will be appreciated by adults and kids alike!

Messages for your congratulation cards to the new big brother or big sister could be:

• Congratulations on your baby sister/baby brother. Hope he/she is just as cute as you!
• What a lucky baby to have a big sister like you! Congratulations!
• Congratulations on your new title as Big Brother! So proud of you!
• Congratulations on the new baby - what a fantastic team you’ll make!

Congratulate the grandparents

Welcoming a new grandchild is a highlight in life that a lot of grandparents will have been looking forward to - some more patiently than others.

Don’t forget to include the proud new grandparents on your list of people to congratulate when a new baby has arrived. 

Here are some ideas for both sweet and funny wishes to the new grandparent:

• Grandchildren are a blessing from above - congratulations!
• Congrats on your first grandbaby - welcome to the coolest club!
• Having grandkids is the start of a brand new adventure - enjoy!
• Congrats on the new addition to your growing family - wishing you all love and happiness!
