Questions About Pregnancy Card Messages
What other cards are similar to pregnancy?
Pregnancy sits in the new beginnings collection alongside New Baby, Baby Shower, Adoption. Occasions in the same collection often share a tone, so if the wording here is close but not quite right, a sibling page may have the line you want. If your occasion is not listed anywhere on the site, the card maker has a make your own option where you name the occasion and write every line from scratch, with all the same designs, sizes and export formats available. The new beginnings pages all follow the same structure, so once you have made one pregnancy card the rest take almost no time at all.
How long should a pregnancy message be?
One to three sentences suits most pregnancy cards. Shorter works better when the relationship is formal or the subject is delicate, because restraint reads as respect. Longer suits someone close who will read the card more than once. The format matters too: a folded card gives you an inside panel with room to write properly, while a card you send digitally reads better short enough to take in at a glance. When you are unsure, write the shorter version and let the specific detail carry the weight.
Should I handwrite the pregnancy message?
Printing the message and adding a handwritten line underneath is a good middle ground, and it is what most people do with a printed card. The card maker has a handwritten style among the font choices if you would rather the whole thing looked informal. If you are printing to fold, leave the inside panel lighter than you think you need: handwriting takes more room than typed text, and a cramped inside panel undoes the work the front cover does. If you are still deciding, read the pregnancy examples in two different tones and see which one you would be comfortable reading aloud to the person.
Can I send a pregnancy card digitally?
Yes. Choose one of the digital sizes and export a PNG or JPEG, which sends cleanly through messaging apps without awkward cropping. Cards without a personal photograph can also be shared as a link, which shows the recipient a preview of the card along with a way to make their own. Cards that include your own photograph are sent as the image itself, because the photograph stays on your device rather than being uploaded anywhere. Nothing here is fixed: the pregnancy wording, the design, the size and the font of each line can all be changed before you export the finished card.
Are these pregnancy messages yours to use?
Nothing is held back. You can use any of these pregnancy messages personally or commercially, and the finished card carries no branding of ours unless you add it. The messages are written specifically for this site, which matters more than it sounds: printed verses found elsewhere online are often under copyright, and putting one on a card you hand to somebody is exactly the situation where that becomes a problem. Everything here is safe to print. If you are still deciding, read the pregnancy examples in two different tones and see which one you would be comfortable reading aloud to the person.
How do I make a pregnancy card online?
Open the card maker and choose Pregnancy as the occasion. Write or pick your message, then set the size: a digital size if you are sending it, a print size if you are folding and giving it in person. Choose a design, set the font and size of each line if you want to, review the finished card, then download it. Exports include a print ready PDF and PNG or JPEG images. Everything runs in your browser, so there is no account and no upload.
What tone should a pregnancy card use?
Think about how you would speak to this person face to face, then write closer to that than to a greetings card cliche. For pregnancy, the tones available here are heartfelt, short, formal, religious, which covers most relationships you are likely to be writing for. The safest default when you genuinely do not know is plain and short: it reads as sincere rather than distant, and it never strikes the wrong note the way forced cheerfulness can. Because these pregnancy lines are written for this site rather than gathered from elsewhere, you can print any of them without worrying about who wrote them first.
