Cool People Make The Coolest Card for New Parents

Cool People Make The Coolest Card shows a sepia photo of a baby in aviator sunglasses, and the printed line “Cool People Make the Coolest Babies” says exactly what the picture is thinking. A bold “Congratulations!” sits at the bottom, so the card reads as celebration first and joke second. It is a light way to welcome a newborn that makes the parents smile as much as the baby looks unimpressed.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

The print at a glance

The main subject is a baby seen from the chest up, wearing a pair of metal-framed aviator sunglasses with dark lenses. A denim jacket with a collar and a snap button sits over a plain white top. The background is a brick wall blurred into soft lines, which keeps the attention on the face. The baby has a serious, flat expression, as if weighing up the room. The whole image is printed in black and white with a warm sepia tone, which gives it the look of an old family photograph. The two lines of white lettering at the top use a classic serif font, with the joke set in capitals on two lines. The word Congratulations! runs across the lower band in the same type. Together the photo and the lettering build a picture of a very composed little person who has clearly arrived ready for the spotlight. It is the kind of image that sets up its own punchline.

Who it is for

This card is for people who enjoy a joke with their good news. Close friends will spot the deadpan look at once and laugh before they read the words. Expecting parents who like a bit of attitude will feel the card was made for them, and so will grandparents who love a playful photo. You can also send it to coworkers who are welcoming a new baby, since the humor is light enough for an office setting. It suits anyone who likes a card that makes the recipient grin when they first open it.

Occasions to use it

The most natural moment is when a baby is born, when a card with a sunglasses-wearing newborn lands perfectly alongside a gift. It also fits a baby shower, where guests like to write a few lines and pass a card around the table. A pregnancy announcement or a welcome card for a new family are other good times to send it. Pair it with a small present such as a bib or a rattle to make the moment feel complete. Whatever the occasion, the card lets you celebrate the new arrival with a grin and a warm wish.
