Welcoming a new baby into the world is a moment filled with love, hope, and happiness. Whether it’s a close friend, a family member, or a coworker, finding the right words to say "congratulations" can mean the world to new parents. This guide offers thoughtful and joyful messages for every type of new baby occasion, plus tips on what to send and how to make the gesture extra special.

Things to Consider When Sending New Baby Wishes

When writing a message to celebrate a new baby, tone matters. You might want to be sweet and sentimental for close family, playful and cheerful for friends, or professional yet warm for colleagues. Consider these quick tips:

• Personalise your message with the baby’s name (if known).

• Mention the parents’ excitement or journey to make it meaningful.

• Keep it short and sweet unless you know them well.

• Avoid jokes about sleepless nights unless you’re very close.

• Be gender-neutral when unsure of the baby’s sex.

Adding a small gift or bouquet can take your message from thoughtful to unforgettable. Flowers, baby clothes, or a keepsake card are always appreciated.

What to Send When Congratulating a New Baby

Pairing your message with a beautiful gesture can really brighten a new parent's day. Here are a few ideas:
