Frequently asked questions
What should I write in a New Born Baby Wishes To Myself card?
Address both the baby and the new parents — most cards forget the parents and become generic 'welcome to the world' notes. A line about the baby (welcome, what kind of life is waiting) plus a line about the parents (how their love just multiplied, that the tired weeks are worth it) makes the card actually useful. The 32 examples above pair the two; copy one and add the baby's name if you know it.
Should the card be for the baby or for the parents?
Both, in that order. New parents are running on no sleep and don't need a long card about themselves; the baby is the obvious reason for writing, so name it first, then add the line for the parents. The wishes above keep that ratio — usually two sentences for the baby and one for the adults. Copy the proportion if not the exact words.
Can I personalise these New Born Baby Wishes To Myself with the recipient's name?
Yes — and using the baby's name (once it's chosen) is the single best edit. Most wishes here are written before the baby has a name, so swapping 'the baby' for 'Amelia' or 'little Theo' shifts the whole tone toward something the family will keep.
