New baby cards for a coworker, signed by the whole team
By the time the baby arrives, the new parent is usually away from work, so the card has to find them at home. Pick a design, invite the team to write a line each, and send it to their personal email whenever the news comes in.

- 1
Pick a design and write the first message
No account needed to start — you compose first and only give an email when you save the card.
- 2
Invite the team by email
Everyone gets their own private invite link. Nothing to forward around Slack, and you can see who has signed.

It delivers itself on the day
Sealed until the delivery date, then it opens in the timezone you set for them — not yours.
What to write
- Congratulations on your new arrival! Wishing you all a gentle start and as much sleep as possible.
- Welcome to the world, little one. Your parent is one of our favourite people, so you’re off to a good start.
- So happy for you both. Don’t give work a single thought. We’ve got it covered.
- Congratulations! We can’t wait to see photos when you’re ready to share them.
- Wishing your family lots of joy, and coffee that’s still warm when you get to drink it.
Send it to a personal address
New parents are usually on leave and many don’t open their work inbox. Ask a close colleague for a personal email before you set the delivery.
Keep it short, keep it about them
The card gets read on a phone at odd hours. Two warm lines beat a paragraph, and no message should mention work waiting for their return.
A card before the leave works too
Some teams send a card on the last day before parental leave and a second one when the baby arrives. The first can carry advice; the second only congratulations.

Why teams use TeamRally Cards
- Free to make, sign and send. Invite up to 100 people, with no per-signer fee, premium designs or charge to deliver.
- Personal email invites. Every signer gets their own link, so there is no shared URL for the recipient to stumble across.
- Sealed until the day. The recipient's link refuses to open before delivery, so a leaked link doesn't spoil the surprise.
- No accounts for signers. They click their invite and write. No sign-up, no password, no app.

Questions
- When should you send a new baby card to a coworker?
- Within a week or two of the birth announcement is usual. Deliver it as soon as everyone has signed, or schedule it for a date you choose.
- What do you write in a new baby card for a colleague?
- Congratulations, a warm wish for the family, and nothing about work. If you know the baby’s name, use it.
- Can the card go to their personal email?
- Yes. You type the recipient’s address when you set the delivery, so it can be any email they read, or you can send them the link yourself.
