You're not just having Card for New Parents Expecting

You're not just having Card shows a poem printed in cream serif lettering, and the words say that a new baby brings new soul, new breath and new kisses. The line ends with three dots, so the reader can finish the thought in their own heart. Pink and purple light glows behind the text like the start of a new day, and that feeling is what makes the card feel tender.

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

Artwork and lettering

The main title reads You're not just having a Baby in large cream letters across the top. Below it, the poem runs down the center in smaller serif type, and the words soul, breath, possibilities, emotions and hugs are picked out in yellow so they catch the eye. A glowing pink heart with sparkles sits to the right of the list, and a thin yellow line drawing of a baby curled up sits at the lower left. Small white stars and a few curved white lines frame the corners, adding a sense of wonder. The background is a soft gradient that moves from deep purple at the edges to hot pink near the middle. Together these parts build a picture of a new beginning, with the poem as the heart of the design.

Made for this crowd

Expecting parents usually notice the big title first, then read down the list and feel each new thing land. You're not just having a baby is a line that speaks directly to a couple who is preparing for a child. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and close friends can also use the card to share in the news. It is a good fit for anyone who likes a warm, poetic message over a cheeky joke.

Moments it suits

A baby shower is an easy occasion for this card, since the poem reads well aloud to the guest of honor. It also works when you share a pregnancy announcement and want the message to feel gentle. Some people send it after a baby arrives, when the list of new things has come true. Add a short note under the poem to make it personal, and keep it with the other cards from the day.
