35 New Baby Wishes for a Coworker (Card Messages From the Team)
Congratulations messages for a coworker's new baby: warm, funny and short lines for a card from the team, plus wording for adoption, a second baby and a colleague you barely know.
A new baby card from the team is one of the easiest cards to write: everyone’s happy, and the bar is warmth, not wit. The only things to avoid are assumptions (about names, gender or how the birth went) and anything about work.
