Family Nose Card: A Funny New Grandchild Card

Family Nose Card shows two elephants admiring a new arrival, and “That nose runs in the family!” is the line that makes the picture land. It is a playful way to say that a grandchild has arrived, and it tells the grandparents that the baby already looks like part of the clan. It is made for grandparents who love a good family joke.

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

What the print says

Two cartoon elephants stand side by side, both wearing their proud expressions as they gaze toward a green polka-dot stroller. The taller elephant wears a dark suit and a small red tie, while the other wears a pink top, a yellow skirt and a pink bow. The stroller has a round green canopy dotted with white spots, and a small trunk pokes out from inside, waving a tiny greeting. The lettering is clean and rounded, with “New Grandchild!” at the top and the punchline set along the bottom. The soft yellow background frames the scene and keeps the whole design cheerful. The picture reads as a simple family portrait, drawn with bold outlines and friendly faces. Every element points toward the baby in the stroller, so the eye moves from the elephants to the stroller and then to the words. It is a warm, lighthearted scene that makes the family resemblance the star.

Who sees themselves in it

Grandparents are the first people who will notice the nose, so the joke is written for them. A grandmother who has spent years teasing her own family about their features will smile at the elephant pair and laugh at the punchline. A grandfather who is secretly proud of his family's shape will recognize himself in the taller elephant. You can send this card when a new grandchild is born and you want the grandparents to feel included in the joke. It also suits aunts, uncles and close friends who are watching the family grow.

Meant as a gift

This card is a natural choice for the announcement, when the first photos arrive and everyone is eager to share the news. It also works for a hospital visit, a christening, or the first family dinner after the baby comes home. Give it to the grandparents in person, or tuck it into a bag of baby gear for the new parents to read aloud. Hold it up at the next family gathering, and watch the room hunt for the nose in the stroller.
