Baby gift card message ideas: short notes to copy
Short, ready to copy notes for the card that goes with a baby gift: newborn welcomes, baby showers and full month celebrations, colleagues, and personalised name gifts.
This page is about the message card that travels with a gift. If you want a gift card the parents can spend themselves, see our gift card page.
Before you write
- Keep it to one or two lines; it is a card, not a letter.
- Sign with names the parents will recognise, especially from a group.
- If you use the baby's name, check the spelling with someone who knows.
- Sending it straight to them? Put their address as the delivery address and add your gift message at checkout.
For a newborn
- Welcome to the world, little one. We cannot wait to meet you.
- Congratulations on your new arrival. Wishing you lots of cuddles and quiet mornings.
- Hello, baby! Something soft for you, and a big hug for your parents.
- So happy for your family. Enjoy every tiny moment.
For a baby shower or full month celebration
- Thank you for letting us celebrate with you. Here is to the newest member of the family.
- One month of [baby's name]! Wishing you a happy celebration and many more milestones.
- For the little guest of honour. Congratulations to the whole family.
- So glad to share this day with you. With love, [your names].
From colleagues or a team
- Congratulations from all of us at [team name]. Enjoy this time with your family.
- Warmest wishes on your new arrival, from your friends in [department].
- From the whole team: congratulations, and enjoy the newborn days.
- With warm congratulations on your new arrival, from everyone at [company].
For a bulk or company order, send us the message for the card when you order. Planning several gifts? Read our corporate gifting guide.
For a personalised name gift
- [Name], this one is yours. Welcome to the world.
- A little something with your name on it, [Name], for many cuddles to come.
- Made just for [Name]. Congratulations to your family.
Match the spelling on the card to the spelling on the order. See our personalised gifts.

Quick answers
Where do I add the gift message?+
Add your gift message at checkout. If the gift goes straight to the recipient, put their address as the delivery address.
Is a gift card message the same as a Baby Butter gift card?+
No. A gift card message is the note that goes with your gift. A Baby Butter gift card is a card you buy so the parents can choose a gift themselves. See our gift card page for the amounts.
Can a company send the same message with several gifts?+
Yes. Send us the message for the card when you order. For bulk gifting, tell us your budget per box and quantity on WhatsApp and we will propose sets.
