What Makes a Sister’s Pregnancy Congratulations Different
Anyone can congratulate a pregnant woman. A sister does something different. She congratulates from inside the story, from the shared history, from the particular knowledge of who this woman is and what this is going to mean for her. That is what these messages are built to carry.
Pick the one that sounds most like your relationship and write it in her card knowing that she is going to read it at one of the most significant moments of her life.
Write It and Mean Every Word
These messages are starting points. Add the thing that only you would know to say to only her and it becomes the message she keeps. That combination is what a sister’s congratulations is supposed to be.
