Figuring out a special congratulations message for your friend, relative, son, daughter, or other loved one can be a challenge. Use these baby card message examples to help you figure out what to write. Combine and change these as you need to make them fit the personality of the new parent you are writing.

1. "I heard babies suck. Especially when they are hungry."

2. "I am sure your baby will be really cute. At least as long as he/she takes after his/her mother."

4. "I heard about your newest development. Congratulations on being creative!"

6. "Sit down, I think it's time to have the 'talk.' Babies don't really come from storks..."

7. "If you are worried about having enough space after the baby comes, you can get rid of your bed. You won't be using it for a while anyway."

8. "To test to see if you are ready for a baby, try putting a pair of underwear on a kangaroo."

9. "Only a few more years until you'll be saying, 'Because I said so.'"

You may find yourself wanting to congratulate someone who recently told you she is pregnant. This may not be for a baby shower, but you may want to write a simple congratulation for the pregnancy. Here are some examples of pregnancy congratulations you can write long before the shower happens.

1. "In just a few short months, we're going to have a new member of the family! Until then, we get to spoil you. Congratulations! Have fun with your pregnancy."
2. "Being pregnant can feel a little bit like waiting for Christmas morning. You don't get to open your present right away, and the anticipation can be overwhelming. Congratulations on your pregnancy. No peeking at your present early."
3. "Finding out that you are pregnant was some of the best news I've ever heard. I'm excited for you and I want to wish you a fun and healthy pregnancy."
4. "We are hoping for a normal and healthy pregnancy for you and your little one. We want the little bun in the oven to be done just right, not too doughy and not too burned."

Here are a few tips to help you figure out the best thing to write in your card:

1. Be as funny as you can. Having a baby is definitely a time you can use humor. Babies are funny by nature, so your card message should be too.
2. Write your message to the parents and the baby. If you want the parents to save the card, then you should direct at least part of your message at the baby. This will give them reason to keep the card. You never know, maybe the little guy will read it when he or she gets older.
3. Avoid simple cliches or negative jokes. Don't try to preach to the parents about how difficult it will be to take care of a little human being. And don't tell them how much their baby will consume of their time and money. It's more fun to say something positive about the potential of the baby.
4. Tell them what you are looking forward to about them having a baby. For example, you can say that you are looking forward to seeing them drive a mini van, or you are looking forward to them using you as their baby sitter.
5. Money usually helps make the card go over well.
