32 Brilliant First Birthday Message Ideas for Cards

greetings card inspiration Published Sep 12, 2024

Knowing what to write in a first birthday card can by tricky- I mean, they're not going to be able to read it themselves, right?! So what do you do- do you write it to the baby, or to the parents? 

Well, we've got first birthday message ideas for both, so read on!

I personally would write a first birthday card to the child as it is something that could always be kept for the future as a nice keepsake, specially if the card is a beautiful one (hint, hint!) Did I mention that we have some pretty spectacular 1st Birthday cards that can all be personalised and made in a whole rainbow of colour options? If you haven't already, do check out our range of birthday cards here
