Common questions
Is it ever too late to send a baby wish?‹
While it's best to send wishes as soon as possible, it's generally never too late to acknowledge such a momentous event. A heartfelt, even if belated, message will almost always be appreciated. The new parents are likely still basking in the glow and dealing with the new routine, so your kind words will still mean a lot.
Should I apologize for the delay when sending a belated wish?‹
Yes, a brief, sincere apology for the delay is appropriate and shows you acknowledge the timing. However, don't dwell on it. Keep the focus primarily on your joyous congratulations and well wishes for the new mom and baby. A simple 'Sorry this is a bit late!' or 'Please forgive my tardiness!' is perfectly sufficient.
What's an appropriate gift to send with a belated baby wish?‹
For a belated gift, practical items are always a good idea, as parents often receive many gifts immediately after the birth. Consider gift cards for food delivery, a cleaning service, or baby stores. Personalized items, books for the baby, or even a 'mom survival kit' (think gourmet coffee, a luxurious bath bomb, and healthy snacks) would also be wonderful and thoughtful gestures.
