15 Charming Quotes to Put on Your Birth Announcement Card

As a new parent it is completely natural to be over the moon about the birth of your child. One way to share that great news with your family and friends is to send a small keepsake in the form of a baby announcement card. A new baby card is the sort of small gesture that means the world to many relatives, particularly grandparents. This is particularly the case if you live far apart so they will not see as much of your baby as some doting nannas and grandpas do.

So it’s time to choose the birth announcement template that works for you. Traditionally, it might be something pink for a girl and blue for a boy. But if you’re looking for something more modern and less traditional, you can add a new-born photo and add a charming quote instead. Here are some great quotes that we think work particularly well on baby arrival card. Just don’t forget the important details like the date, time, weight and, of course, name!
