Welcome a new baby with an online card

An online New Baby Card from Kudoboard is a digital way, as a group, to congratulate someone on becoming a parent! For the individual who is tasked with picking out a new baby card for everyone to sign– spending hours in card aisles hoping to find the one that fits the circumstances (and personalities of everyone involved) can be difficult. With Kudoboard, you can custom create a board to compile everyone’s virtual “new baby congratulations” right from your computer or phone. 

Perhaps you have a coworker who just recently had a baby. Instead of passing a card around the office, you can instead choose a “New Baby” board on our website, and send each employee a link where they can add their own contributions. Kudoboard allows you to add messages, GIF’s, images, or videos to the board so that it can be personalized to the recipient. This makes a great option for those working remotely or living far away from others, to still join in on the fun.

We have worked to make this process so simple, anyone can do it! 

Once you click the “Create a Kudoboard” button on our website, our template will walk you through each step quickly and easily. You will be prompted to input the name of the recipient, a name or title for your board, and to select which type of board fits your needs best. From there, you can try out a variety of backgrounds until you find the right one. Voila! Your board is created!

Now comes the fun part: adding in the virtual “new baby wishes” and messages from you and your group. We like to suggest that, as the creator of the board (applause to you), you do the honors of the first post. That way, when others come to add in their messages, they have an example of your creative ingenuity (you’re welcome), as well as how this digital “new baby” card works. 

From there, send members of your group a link or email inviting them to virtually contribute, and watch as the baby ecard fills with the kind of love and support a new parent undoubtedly needs. You will be amazed at how seamless and easy the process is. 

Whichever type you need! One of the benefits to using Kudoboard’s online new baby card is you can customize it to fit your needs. Did your boss on maternity leave just give birth? We’ve got your back (and hers, since it’s probably hurting). Maybe your sister’s best friend’s cousin just adopted a baby, and you can’t find a card that mentions any of those words. You can customize your digital new baby card with us so that is never a problem. 

While you may have been limited in the past to whatever your local greeting card section had to offer, we think you will be impressed with how easy it is to say exactly what you need with Kudoboard. 

This is a common question, as many people want options that feel more fun and heartfelt than the standard “congrats on your new baby,” (it’s lacking some pizazz, don’t you think?). The answer though depends on your recipient. For a coworker in a job with a more professional setting, you might use messages short and sweet like:

• “So happy your little one is finally here! Congrats!”
• “Congrats! Welcome to the “sleep-deprived” club!”
• We are so excited for you and your family, happy new parenting!”

If your relationship to the recipient is someone you are close to, it can be nice to add something more personal. Depending on your style, options range from inspirational and loving, to humorous and lighthearted. The following are some options to get you started:

• “This new adjustment might be hard, but if anyone can do it, it’s you. I am so proud of you!
• “We all miss you here at work, and we can’t wait to meet this new little baby. Hurry back! (okay, maybe get some sleep first, but then come back)”
• “In honor of your new baby, we are all giving up our Starbucks money for the month and gifting it to you. Because, clearly, you need it more than we do. Congrats!”

Whatever you choose to put on your Kudoboard New Baby card, if you make it genuine and true to your personality, it is sure to be appreciated.

Kudobaord makes it easy and fun to add many options to your virtual new baby card. Your congratulations can be emphasized with pictures, GIF’s, or videos. You can even collect funds from the group (all from our website), to deliver a gift card alongside your ecard. This will, no doubt, be appreciated by any “new parent” recipients.

For example, your “Baby-Mama-loving” friend from college might appreciate your message more if you attach that GIF of Amy Pohler bouncing up and down on the yoga ball. Or perhaps your “Welcome to the club!” would carry more weight if you attached a throwback picture of you, sleep-deprived and surrounded by diapers and spit up. With Kudoboard, each person in your group has the chance to make their contribution their own, so the sky’s the limit on what you can put on your group ecard.

Absolutely! A Kudoboard would be a perfect way to have all of the messages from the baby shower attendees in one place. This way, once the chaos of parenthood begins, your recipient won’t be able to lose the paper card you would have given them. 

Once you have created the board, simply send the link to everyone invited to the event, asking them to add to the ecard. Then, whether or not they are able to attend, they still get to participate! The invited guests will also have the option of adding funds to their contribution so that new parents can receive a gift card to purchase any new baby things they might need (or to treat themselves to a well-earned gift!)

Your recipient will also receive an email, after your board has been delivered, giving them the option to thank the contributors of the board. They can choose to send a “thank you” message to everyone as a whole, or to each person individually. This makes a Kudoboard an ideal use for a baby shower since it simplifies the new parent’s “thank you card” process so much easier.

We know that, sometimes, just having a digital option for your card isn’t enough. Often, this special time of welcoming a new child calls for something more. That’s why we have printing options for you and your group! Kudoboard offers the option to have your new baby board printed as a beautiful, hardbound book, or as a high-resolution poster. 

Once your board is full of posts from everyone in your group, you can select the option to have it printed as a book. Our books come with a 7”x7” hardcover, and have an image-wrapped, matte finish. We ship anywhere in the US, or to many countries worldwide. 

If you choose to have your new baby card printed as a poster, you have the option of 12”, 24”, or 48” wide. We can print and ship you a beautiful, semi-gloss poster, or you can download a high-resolution image of your board and print it on your own. 

Pricing for your virtual new baby card varies depending on your need. Kudoboard offers a free mini-board to anyone with a small group of contributors (10 or fewer posts per board). Our premium board, which is our most popular, allows for up to 100 posts, and the option of adding videos, for $5.99. Our premium board is most common for new baby cards or baby showers. From there, we have a variety of options for larger groups, companies, memorials, or milestones that start at $20 a board. 

For larger events, including CEO departures, graduations, fundraisers, etc., contact us for custom pricing. 

Kudoboard gives you the option of directly sending the recipient their virtual new baby card, or scheduling a delivery from our website. This way you can choose to plan ahead or do it on the spot, whichever fits your needs (and your executive functioning skills).

To send the baby ecard yourself, go to the board once everyone is done contributing, and copy the link. From there, you can send the link via email, text, social media, etc. Simple, fast, and easy!

If you are a little more ahead of schedule, we have the option to pre-plan your delivery. From our website, go to your board and select the “schedule delivery” button. You can enter the recipient’s information, as well as the time and date you want the new baby card to be delivered. The last step is to check off “get ahead in life” from your to-do list because you are killing it.
