Congratulations, Uncle! Hope you've stocked up on earplugs and caffeine. You're going to need them.
Another baby? Didn't you learn anything the first time? Just kidding (mostly). Congrats!

Welcome to the club of 'never sleeping again.' You'll fit right in. Congrats on the new tiny overlord!
So, this is why you've been practicing your 'deer in headlights' look. Good luck, Uncle! You're going to need it.
They say babies are a blessing. They just forgot to mention the part about the endless diaper changes and projectile vomit. Enjoy, Uncle!
None of these feel quite right?
Add a personal detail — a memory, a name — and get something made just for your Uncle.
Congratulations on upgrading your life from 'fun-loving bachelor/couple' to 'professional poop-detector and lullaby singer.' We're all very proud... and slightly terrified for you.
Remember all those quiet weekends and spontaneous trips? Wave goodbye to them. Congrats on your new, adorable jailer!
Here's to hoping your new bundle of joy inherits your charm and *not* your stubbornness. The world can only handle one of those. Congrats, Uncle!
I heard babies are just tiny, demanding roommates who don't pay rent. Good thing you're so good at sharing (everything). Best of luck, Uncle!
You thought hangovers were bad? Wait until you experience sleep deprivation courtesy of a newborn. You've got this (maybe). Congrats!
Common questions
Is it really okay to be sarcastic at a baby shower?‹
Absolutely! Especially if the parents-to-be (and the uncle!) appreciate a good laugh. It shows you know them well and aren't afraid to break from the usual saccharine greetings. Just make sure your audience has a similar sense of humor!
How can I make sure my sarcastic wish is well-received and not offensive?‹
The key is knowing your audience. If the uncle (and parents) are known for their dry wit and enjoy playful jabs, you're good. Keep it light, focus on the *challenges* of parenthood rather than making fun of the baby itself, and always deliver with a smile or a wink.
What if I want to add a genuinely sweet message after my sarcasm?‹
A smart move! Follow up your hilarious jab with something heartfelt like, "But seriously, we're so incredibly happy for you both and know you'll be amazing parents." It shows you care, even if you can't resist a good joke.
