"I believe Congratulations is the word you’re looking for." Words I never imagined I would hear from my husband more than once.
You’re getting married… Congratulations! Buying a new home… Congratulations. You got a new job… Congratulations!
A simple enough word expressing good wishes on a special occasion. Having a baby… CONGRATULATIONS! It comes so easily, right? You’re having your second baby… Congratulations (obviously you’re trying for the gender you don’t have).
15 letters. 5 syllables. 1 word.
You are expecting your third baby… your fourth baby… your fifth baby… Uh, , um, yeah.
This is where my sweet, sensitive, loving husband comes in. Whether to family, friends, neighbors, or complete strangers, when they hear we are expecting (GASP!) our fifth child, he kindly tells them, "I believe congratulations is the word you’re looking for."
When we were married almost 11 years ago and started our life together we knew we wanted a big family. We never hid this fact. And as our family grew, our hearts did too. There were times I worried or wondered if I had enough love to give each of our children. My husband and I talked often about this in the early years. We were extremely committed to making absolutely certain that each of our children felt wanted and loved and belong to a family that honors, appreciates, and values them and their unique, amazing, specialness!
Earlier this year, my husband and I were ecstatic excited to find out we were expecting our fifth child.
That excitement gave way to worry and angst as it became clear that other people had some sort of problem or discomfort with it.
We have heard it all.
You know how this happens right? Really? You’re hands aren’t full enough right now huh? How will you pay for college? Oh my goodness. Why? That’s crazy! You’re a glutton for punishment. There should be a law against having that many kids. Good luck… Good… luck…
I wish they didn’t hurt. But they do.
So be careful with your words. Your opinions on family planning or college savings or the fullness of my hands are simply not welcome or appreciated.
Congratulations is the only word you are looking for.
Even as they stand looking smart yet adorable in a new school uniform two years too big for them and pose for a first day of school photo, your child could be feeling anxious or simply in need of a spot of good luck during this milestone of a day. Whether they are attending kindergarten, high school, (or even college or university), each new school represents an important marker in their educational journey.
If you're looking to send a special child or young person in your life a greeting card to celebrate their first day of school, wish them luck, or give them motivation, get inspired by our selection of first day of school phrases, back-to-school wishes and more!
Don't live close? You can send your first day of school wishes as a printed card with MyPostcard. With speedy delivery, customizable designs, and pre-written messages for your convenience, this is a great way to send someone luck for their first day at school.

First day of High School card messages
Helping to prepare them for their first day at high school, a card is a cute way of letting a special person in your life know that you have got their back at this important moment in their life. It also helps remind them that not everything is riding on school – they already have people who love them.
• You have grown up so fast and every day you get closer to adulthood! I hope high school is everything that you dreamed it to be.
• Go you! I will always be cheering you on from the sidelines.
• Congratulations on your first day at high school! Hope you have lots of fun, make great friends, and knuckle down with your studies.
• As you take the next step to success, remember I am proud of you always.
• I am so proud of all that you have accomplished so far and all that you will go on to achieve.
• I hope this year is everything that you hope for and more!
• Sending you first day of school wishes and lots of good luck for your first day at secondary school.

• Hope that your high school experience is educational, fun and full of laughter.
• Even though it is only the first day of high school, you are already on the track to success with so many A’s. Amazing, astonishing, awesome, academic, astounding and more!
Starting university good luck wishes
If you are looking to send a card with first day of school wishes for someone who is attending university or college, you could include messages such as:
• Hope your university experience is everything that you wish it to be! Study hard, make friends for life, and enjoy every day. I wish you all the very best on this special day!
• Reach for the stars, my academic superstar! Being a fresher is all about fun and focus, so if there's one thing you remember, let it be this: Always party AFTER the deadline, not before.
• Congratulations on making it into the university of your choice! Wishing you all the luck in the world as you take this next step.
• As you take the next step on the pathway to success, try to remember it’s not all about friends, fun and food! You need to add some focus too!
• I know that with a little hard work, some support, and lots of love, you will achieve your academic goals.
• You have done so amazingly to get to this point. Hope many wonderful surprises and academic adventures await you.
