After 9 months of emotional rollercoaster riding, hiding behind baby books and thinking about the name of the offspring, the time has finally come: Your friend has finally become mother / father. But how do you best congratulate your loved one who celebrates such an important day? You do not need a big or material gift to express your feelings. Personally designed birth congratulations in the form of a card, combined with an individual photo and warm words, often touch the new parents more deeply and for a longer period of time.

- What do you wish the mother or father for the future of their child?
- What values do you give the little one on his path through life?
- What support do you offer the new little family?
- What does the name of the newborn mean and where does it come from? Write a little anecdote about it.
Self-made congratulations to the birth to the baby
You can also address your congratulations to the birth directly to the newborn baby. For example, you could write the following on the back of your card:
We’ve been waiting for you a long time,
introduced you to us and
imagined endless hours with you.
Welcome to your family.
You can print the front with colorful motifs, such as an animal motif. So your congratulations on the birth are at the same time a great decoration on the wall of the children’s room! Creative and DIY lovers can also be inspired by our craft ideas for greeting cards.
