What You Need to Make Congratulations Baby Cards
- White cardstock
- Scissors
- Double-sided tape (if making the envelope!)
- The greeting card & envelope printable template.
How to Make Congratulations Baby Cards
Step 1: Print
Download the printable new born baby greeting cards free download PDF and print on 8.5 x 11" white cardstock (I use Neenah 65# Bright White).
Tip: If making the envelope, you'll want to print that page on a thinner, normal text-weight paper (like normal computer paper). This will make it easier to fold, as cardstock requires cleaner folding and stronger adhesive.
Step 2: Cut and Fold
To make the card, simple use a scissors to cut along the edges. Fold the card in half and set aside while you make the envelope!
To make the envelope, cut around the edges and then fold where indicated on the PDF. To keep these lines from standing out, you'll notice thin white lines where you should fold. Once folded, adhere with double-sided adhesive where indicated.
Step 3: Customize & Gift!
Now it's time to add those new baby well wishes to your card. Whether you're writing a greeting card for a new born baby boy or girl, I've got you covered! I've included some ideas for what to write in a baby card because if you're anything like me, that can be the hardest part! You can also pair this card with a free baby shower favor bag by slipping in a gift card!

Frequently Asked Questions:
These baby cards measure 4 x 5.5" inches when folded. They come in 3 designs, making them easy to customize to the gender of the baby. Use the blue congrats baby boy card or congrats baby girl card for baby showers or birth cards or skip the stereotypes and go full-fledge rainbow!
I used 65lb. white cardstock for the card and a standard text-weight paper for the envelope. You definitely want something thicker than normal computer paper for the card, otherwise it will feel flimsy and cheap! And shhh! We're supposed to be keeping the "free" element a secret.
