there are cards you send because you forgot to pick something up on the way to dinner.
and then there are cards you keep in your drawer because you know someone in your life is going to text you “can i vent?” at 9:47 pm on a tuesday. this is that card.
this one is for the baby who already knows who the favorite is and for the aunt who fully agrees.
“take me to my auntie. you peasant.”
honestly? fair.
who this card is actually for:
the new aunt who has already claimed her role.
the one buying outfits before the baby is even born.
the sister who said “i’m not ready for kids” and then became emotionally attached immediately.
the friend who will absolutely be the fun aunt.
the baby who is about to be spoiled beyond reason.
this is not just a baby card.
this is a favorite aunt announcement.
when to send it:
when the baby is born.
when someone becomes an aunt for the first time.
at a baby shower.
as part of a gift from the aunt (obviously).
or just to establish early who the favorite is.
why we keep this one stocked:
because babies come with a lot of “welcome to the world” energy.
and sometimes you want something a little more… honest.
at cardigan, we believe in cards that match real personalities, even when the personality belongs to a baby with a strong point of view.
this one is funny.
a little bold.
and immediately establishes the aunt hierarchy.
because every family has one.
what to write inside:
“already their favorite. no competition.”
short. confident. slightly unhinged.
