Congratulations Messages and Wishes for a New Baby

The arrival of a new baby is a joyous time. No one can fail to be moved by it. The pure happiness it brings to the parents and loved ones around them is unmatched.

When he or she arrives, opens her eyes for the first time and that explosion of love fills the family and friends lucky enough to be present. Even after the birth though the arrival continues to bring delight to everyone.

If you’re connected to the new parents in any way, be that family, friends or even just an acquaintance then sending a new baby congratulations card is the perfect way to celebrate the occasion. You can become a part of their incredible moment.

But that level of joy it’s brought can make writing your card all the more intimidating. So if you are struggling with what to write in a new baby card then use this guide, as well as the examples, to find the right words for your new baby wishes.

New Baby Wishes

These are some quick and simple new baby wishes that are ideally suited for a card. If your card already has a pre written sentiment inside then these will work perfectly alongside that. If you want something longer or more expressive then try some of the other wishes further down.

If the arrival is for twins, or triplets, or even more then try these happy wishes and congratulations.

  • The best things come in two’s/three’s/four’s !

Adoption

Adopting is a much different process but the outcome is the same – a child to be loved and treasured. That means your congratulations and wishes remain the same too.

  • We’re so proud and happy for you. You’re going to be great parents and make a little girls life so much better
  • Your dreams are finally coming true! Congratulations
  • It’s destiny that you would end up with your little boy. Wishing you so much happiness
  • What a wonderful thing you’re doing and what a fantastic outcome – a truly happy family

Tip
Try to keep away from mentioning any references to inherited traits or features e.g. “He’s got his Dads eyes” or “her moms nose”. That would be extremely inappropriate and just factually wrong. With adoption being somewhat more sensitive just keep in mind how your message may be received or misinterpreted

Funny

If you know the new parents well and are familiar with their sense of humour then you may find it appropriate to send a funny message. Be warned though, make sure they’re happy to receive something funny first! You don’t wan to offend them during such a happy time.

  • Baby is cute. Mommy is cute. Daddy is lucky…
  • You could have bought a few Porsches or could have traveled the world for a couple of years. But you have chosen sleepless nights, Lego in the living room, parent-teacher conferences and puberty instead. From now on you will be parents – and we think you took the right decision, congrats!
  • “Ah, I feel so rested and did not have to worry about anything at all today”. Said no mom ever!
  • Keep calm and diaper on!
  • You have been getting on your mom’s nerves for nine months. Now it’s daddy’s turn!
  • Parenting is the easiest thing in the world to have an opinion about, but the hardest thing in the world to do” – Matt Walsh
  • I Heard your home is growing by 2 feet!
  • Being a parent means, learning to sleep with a foot, or even two, in your face

Religious

If you feel it’s appropriate then you can also send a religious message or wishes. Use the blessings of God to congratulate them on this wondrous event.

  • God blessed your lives with your beautiful and healthy mew baby. Wishing you all the best.
  • We can’t wait to see the many ways God blesses you with this little one
  • Congratulations and God bless your family. Let me know if you need any help with your new little miracle.
  • May you and your family be blessed and may the Lord bestow guidance and wisdom upon you in all of your future decisions. I wish you the patience to endure and overcome any challenges you may face. May your faith grow with your child!
  • May the baby God has sent to you, to have, to hold and love, be guided by your gentle hands and blessed by him above. Congratulations

Tip
Whilst you may think sending a message with very overt religious tones is appropriate the recipient may not. If they’re not particularly religious themselves, or atheists, they probably won’t take kindly to it. So consider this when sending your wishes and be confident they’ll be warmly received first.
