For both parents, maternity leave is a very special and private time. During this period, they may require a lot of support and alone time to get used to their new lives. And the workplace will be the place where they need assistance the most outside of their home. Sending congratulations in a maternity leave card will help your coworker know you’re thinking of them as they prepare to go on maternity or paternity leave.
How do you write in a maternity card if you’ve never done it before? How professional is too professional? Should you just keep your maternity wishes brief? Maternity wishes not only show your colleague a friendly level of support, but they can also make them feel valued and cared for by their place of work.
- All the best to you for a happy and restful maternity leave. …
- Congratulations on your new arrival! …
- Best wishes for a wonderful maternity leave with your new baby!
- I’ll be thinking of you and sending you lots of love during your maternity leave.
