Tell the baby how she is a blessing to the mother and you. Then wish the baby the best in life. Be positive in everything you say about the baby. Example: You are a blessing to your mother and me. I wish you the best in life. May you grow to be the most successful person in the world.

What do you write in a 1st birthday card?
Your parents are blessed to have you as their baby! May you enjoy this special day in your life! Wishing you the best birthday of your life. Happy 1st birthday!
Sending the first happy birthday wish to a child may often be overlooked due to their age. But you may never know, the simple message or card you send could later have an impact on that child’s life. Kind words go along way and they can build a personal life. As you attend that first birthday party for your child, your relative child or friend’s child does not hold back the good word about them. Hope the above 1st birthday wishes will help you construct the best sentences to pass your message
