Parent thank you for a baby shower
Hello, everyone. We would like to thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend our little James’s first birthday today. We hope you’ll join us today to wish him a very happy birthday and make yourself at home. As you all know, James is a real treasure to us, and he came at a very difficult time for us, and we have never regretted having him, even for a moment.
He was born during a very difficult time financially when I decided to change jobs, so I feel very sorry for him and my wife because I don’t think I did a good job of prenatal care. When I heard that my child was growing slower than other children, I felt like the sky was falling. I’m just grateful that ‘James’, who I gave birth to after all the worries, has grown up to be a filial son without any major problems. I will never forget the memories of feeling sorry for my child and my wife and will cherish them with gratitude for the rest of my life.
I always thought that children grow up on their own, but that’s not the case at all. James was a very easy-going baby, but I couldn’t let go of him for a second until he spent ten months in my belly and twelve months in the world. This has kept me very busy, but on the other hand, it’s also allowed me to make a lot of memories with him.
Every time I see a child who needs a parent’s hand from age one to ten, I have mixed feelings: one minute I’m terrified that I won’t be able to raise this little life, and the next I see him with a big smile on his face, sleeping like an angel, and I’m just amazed and grateful for how this beautiful child came to us. James has given me hope and courage to live, and to be able to invite you all to celebrate his birthday, I couldn’t ask for more. I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your concern for us and for the love and care you have shown for James. As I said before, no child grows up alone, and while we will continue to devote everything we have to him, I hope that if we ever fall short, you will remind us of that. I would like to express my deepest gratitude for all of your support and love, and I hope that you will relax and enjoy what we have in store for you. Have some good food, and don’t forget to pick up some goodies on your way out. Thank you.
A thank you note from a dad at his child’s baby shower
Hello, everyone. I’m ○○○, the father of ○○○, and I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for traveling so far for my child’s first birthday, and I’d like to ask you to join me in wishing him good health and a happy future.
You have no idea how much and how much this child you met today has changed my life. There are people everywhere who complain about their misfortunes; they are the ones who would throw away a diamond in the rough even if they had it in their hands, knowing it to be just a rock. As you know, there are so many people like that in the world, and I was one of them until I met ○○. I was the kind of person who envied the misery on someone else’s back more than I envied the happiness in my own hands. I missed the life I had before I got married more than I realized how good my wife was. I was the kind of person who wanted to do whatever I wanted. But when she was born, everything changed. I knew that my wife would be the best mother for him, and the moment he was born, my life changed a lot. I also realized how happy I was.
I now have a job that pays the bills for our family, a house that pays the electricity, water, and maintenance, and I have a wife who waits for me and cooks dinner, and she’s doing a great job raising him, and he’s thriving in his mom’s arms with no illnesses. I dare say I couldn’t ask for anything more than perfect happiness.
Before, I could complain all day long about how crappy the benefits were at my job, or how much of a hassle it was to deal with the electricity and water bills and other taxes. Or about how I have to go home after work and not even have time to grab a drink with my friends, but now I’m just grateful for my good fortune to have all of those things. Once I changed my mindset, I realized that every circumstance I have is a blessing and a fortune.
I’m so grateful for all of you who came out today to celebrate ○○’s first birthday. We are still very new and I know we will need all of your help. We would like to ask for your continued support and love so that we can raise our precious ○○i, who has brought us such good fortune. We wish you all happiness and good fortune in your homes and businesses, and we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your visit today. I hope you enjoy the food we have prepared and have a relaxing time, thank you.
Thank you to the guests for attending the birthday party
Thank you so much for coming to our first birthday celebration. It’s raining outside, which doesn’t look like a fall day, but thanks to you, our family’s hearts are full of joy and happiness.
Being a dad actually makes me feel a little more distant from my child than being a mom. When I’m busy working late at night, my child is already asleep when I get home. I’m more attached to my child when he’s hungry and whimpering in the early morning, and I don’t have that kind of time. I didn’t have enough time to stroke my child, to hug him, to share doting moments with him. I feel very sorry for ○○i, who calls me dad, because I’m not good enough. I realize that I’ve done a lot of things wrong, and now I want to spend more time with him. I want to kiss my child, play with him, make eye contact with him, and create precious memories with him without making promises that we will perform even on weekends.
I would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to ○○, whom I love very much. She is my stupidly good wife who never complained once during her pregnancy. I used to get annoyed with her all day long when she would complain about how hard her job was, and I would say, “Honey, the one person I call honey. I’m going to help you a lot from now on, I love you!”
When children come into the world, you have to be very careful with their behavior for the first year, because that’s when they are most sensitive to the bad things around them and are most prone to frequent juxtapositions. Our little ○○, whom we named “Tiger,” has grown up so strong and healthy without ever getting sick. He’s healthy, and he’s a cute little guy who wants to touch and hear everything in the world.
The only thing we wish for him in the future is good health. No matter what he grows up to be or what he does, we want him to be healthy and straight, without any illnesses. ○○We were talking to my wife last night about what we want him to catch at hopscotch today. There’s a saying that if you catch a thread, you live a long time, so we both came to the conclusion that we want him to catch a thread. I hope he grows up to be as healthy and long-lived as he is now, because that’s the most important thing in a person’s life, and I want to stand behind him and give him the love and support he deserves. Thank you again to all of you for being here today.
Thank you message for your child’s first birthday party
Hello, everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to join us today to celebrate our little one’s first birthday. It seems like just yesterday that I was jumping for joy when I first found out I had a baby, and now it’s been a year since he came into the world. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have helped us as first-time moms and dads with every little thing.
There have been big and small changes since having a child, and I’ve learned so much in the short and long year. I’ve cried and laughed at small things, learned to be humble, and felt so much happiness watching my child grow up. I’ve learned to appreciate my neighbors for their help and kind words, and my health has improved as I’ve naturally cut down on alcohol and cigarettes as I’ve gotten home earlier.
I was known at work as a dad who loved his daughter so much, and I always smiled when I thought of her. I got parenting advice from my co-workers, and I often talked about my child with my neighbors, which naturally strengthened our relationship. She is truly the heart of our family, and these days, I often lose sleep thinking about how I can be the best mom and dad in the world for her.
One day, my wife said to me, “Kids are supposed to grow up on their own!” At the time, I didn’t agree with her, but as time has passed, I think she’s right. The day my child rolled over for the first time, the day he walked for the first time, I watched it on a video my wife sent me. I’m sure every working parent feels the same way, and it’s heartbreaking to miss out on your child’s precious moments. But whether you know it or not, my little guy is still growing up every day, and I’ve realized that maybe it’s greedy to try to hijack every moment. When I watch him grow up, I often think of my parents, who used to criticize my every move as a child. I used to feel frustrated and uncomfortable that they were always worried about me, but now that he’s walking around and getting hurt everywhere, I can imagine how they must have felt with their little boy. But just as they gave me unlimited love and trust, I will try to be a good father to him. I will always be by your side to help you grow up to be a healthy, wise, and warm-hearted child, and I will never forget the love you have given to our family. Once again, I would like to thank you for coming to visit us today. I wish you all peace and happiness in your homes. Thank you.
Father thanks those attending his daughter’s birthday party
Good morning, everyone. I would like to start by thanking all of our family and friends for honoring us by attending our daughter’s birthday celebration today, which is a little bit special. It’s already been a year since we had our lovely daughter. A year is a long time if you ask me, but it seems like a short time when I’ve lived to see the antics of my one and only daughter. Happy first birthday to our little girl, who continues to blow me away with how sweet and affectionate she is and how smart she is.
As some of you may know, our daughter didn’t come into this world with a smooth transition. She was so healthy in the womb that natural childbirth became difficult, and I was faced with the prospect of a cesarean section, which would have meant that my beloved wife would have suffered a lifetime of scarring. I was faced with a choice between my child and my beloved wife, but thankfully, through my wife’s efforts, my daughter was born as a healthy baby girl, weighing 3.8 kilograms. Even more fortunately, my beloved wife’s health was not affected.
I always feel sorry that I only say that my daughter is cute and adorable and always leave the difficult and troublesome share to my wife, so from now on, I will try my best as a father to help my wife as much as possible so that our daughter can grow up healthy. After the birth of our daughter, I feel like I am now truly the head of the family, and I feel a great sense of responsibility. I am ready to accept any responsibility for my daughter and my wife. I would like to say how grateful I am that so many of you attended our daughter’s first birthday, which came after many twists and turns. One year ago today, I believe that the daughter I gave birth to with love, the daughter I gave birth to with my heart, is a gift that God sent for us, and I promise you that I will be a proud mom and dad to our sweet little girl. I would like to conclude by saying thank you again.
Thank you message for my daughter’s first birthday celebration
Good morning, everyone. I’d like to start by thanking all of our family and friends for joining us for today’s somewhat special celebration.
It’s March, and the winds are getting a little lighter, and the sunshine is making us feel a little more energized. The mornings are starting to get a little brighter, and the dark commutes home from work are getting a little lighter. With more light comes less darkness, and with less darkness comes less cold, and with less cold comes less cold, and with less cold comes the end of winter. This winter has been unusually snowy and unusually cold for many of you, and I hope you’re able to make the most of the upcoming spring.
I’m reminded of this time last year. We celebrated a year with our sweet baby girl. A year is a long time if you think about it, but it seems like a short time when you realize how much fun you’ve had with your one and only daughter. Happy first birthday to our little girl, who continues to blow me away with how sweet and affectionate she is and how smart she is.
She was a difficult birth, which makes this day even more precious and special. We got married and tried for 10 years, but the heavens didn’t give us a gift. Eventually, we went for artificial insemination and after a year of trying, it finally paid off. She grew healthy in my belly for a year and was born, and then another year passed. Throughout the whole process of raising my daughter, she was so gentle that it wasn’t hard for me. I always feel like I’ve left the hard and troublesome part to my wife, saying that she’s cute and adorable, and I always feel sorry for her, so from now on, I’ll try to help her as much as I can as a father so that our daughter can grow up healthy.
After our daughter was born, I feel like I’m truly the head of the household now, so I feel a lot of responsibility. Before that, I didn’t feel a lot of responsibility, it was just a heaviness in the back of my mind, but when I realized how expensive baby formula is, I felt more responsible. I will try to be a dad who can make many memories with my daughter, not just a dad who can make money, and I am ready to accept any responsibility for my daughter and wife that I love.
Today, a year later, I believe that the daughter I gave birth to with love, the daughter I gave birth to with my heart, is a gift that God sent for us, and I promise you that I will be a proud mom and dad to my lovely daughter. Thank you.
Father’s remarks to the guests
Good morning, everyone. I’m so happy to have this opportunity to tell you all about how wonderful it is to wake up every morning to ○○’s smile. I want to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for coming to celebrate her first birthday. We hope this will be an unforgettable day for us and for him. However, I don’t think he’ll be able to remember much of today, so please don’t forget to fill out the thank you cards at the entrance.
I came across this quote from Dale Carnegie about smiles: “A smile is harmless to the giver and overflowing to the receiver. A smile comes from a short life, but its memory lasts a long time. A smile adds happiness to a home and finds favor in business. It brings friends closer together and gives rest to the tired and weary. A smile is a comfort to the weeping and an antidote to all human poisons.
These are all things we’ve heard so often, so often, and so often that we’ve dismissed them out of hand, because we’ve heard them so often, so often, that it’s hard to stay calm, let alone smile, when you’re working overtime or overworked so often. But when I woke up to my baby’s laughter every morning and saw her smile, I realized a little bit more what they mean. I also understand a little bit about why children are life’s teachers and lessons. I feel like my life changes every day when I see my child’s smile. My child’s smile creates an overflow of happiness in me, and that happiness creates space in me. Whereas before I was just barely getting through the day, now I feel like I am embracing my life. Just as irritation is contagious and anger begets anger, happiness is contagious and begets happiness, and I’m reminded by my child’s smile of the truth that a negative mind creates negative thoughts and a positive mind creates positive results.
As you can see, ○○ has a perfect smile, and my only worry is that I won’t be able to protect it as he grows up. Every time she smiles, it seems to lift my spirits. But as perfect as her smile is, I don’t think I’m ready to be a perfect parent, so I’m worried that as she grows up, I’ll take her smile away from her.
I’m still a clumsy dad who takes more from my child than I give. No matter how hard I try to pay attention to him, I can never figure out what he wants perfectly, so please, if I’m about to make a mistake as a poor dad, please point it out to me. I ask you to give my little one the attention and love he deserves, and if I’m not doing enough, I ask you to give me advice.
I don’t know if you’ll like the food my wife and I have prepared for you today, but I hope you’ll enjoy it and don’t forget to bring it back to us on your way home. So I wish you all the best in your homes, and once again, thank you for joining us today. Thank you.
Letter from a father to his son at a birthday party
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all my family and friends for coming to my son’s birthday celebration. My wife and I stayed up all night last night to prepare a letter for our child on this joyous occasion. It’s a toast that we both put our heads together, so I hope you’ll listen to it with pleasure.
To our son, who has allowed us to experience the mysteries of life!
Dear ○○, the most beautiful baby boy in the world, we congratulate you on your first birthday. It seems like just yesterday that I met you when you could barely open your eyes and could only cry. It’s been ○ years since then, and I’ve come to realize that time is like a stream of water. Through your existence, this mom and dad have experienced many things that we wouldn’t trade for anything. When you took your first step, we couldn’t be happier; when you were sick, we were sicker than you; when you played tricks on us, we were the happiest people in the world; and when you said the word “mommy” for the first time, we felt the mystery of life with our whole body. It was the most rewarding experience of your life, and we are so grateful that you have taught us so much. We are so grateful that you were born. We will be even more grateful for the happiness you have brought us, and we will try to be a mom and dad who can understand your heart. We hope you grow up healthy and strong, not sick. Your mom and dad will always be by your side. Let’s have a happy family for years to come!
We don’t know if our child understands all of this, but we believe it conveys the sincerity of our hearts, and we hope it conveys to you how much we care about you. Thank you again for joining us on this happy day, and we hope you will enjoy the delicious food and have fun chatting with each other. Thank you.
Baby shower message (congratulatory letter from a junior)
Thank you for joining us today to celebrate the most beautiful baby girl in the world. It seems like just yesterday that she was born, and it’s so rewarding to be able to celebrate this milestone as a parent. I had prepared a toast for her birthday, but yesterday I received an amazing letter. It was a precious gift from a classmate of mine who my wife and I have been friends with for a long time. My wife and I were deeply touched by the letter, so today I would like to read it to you.
Dear Senior, Congratulations on the birth of your baby angel. Your baby was so cute when I saw her in the hospital, and I can still hear her roaring cries. She was a little funny when she cried, but she was also very beautiful. I think she has nothing to envy in this world but her beautiful mommy and daddy. When she was in your body, you had a hard time because you couldn’t eat anything because you had severe morning sickness. Even when I was giving birth to my baby, I was scared and worried inside when I saw the baby’s mother struggling so much because she was in labor for nearly ten hours. So I briefly thought twice about giving birth to a baby from a woman’s point of view, but seeing such a beautiful princess made me want to find a strong groom and get married as soon as possible. You said to me, “Having a baby makes me feel like I’ve really accomplished something, and I also feel responsible!” When I heard you say that you see the world differently than before, I secretly envied you. I also thought that the birth of a child is a perfect moment for a mother. The health of the mother comes first, so please recover well. Please take good care of yourself, and I hope your baby will grow up healthy and wise and become the joy and great hope of mom and dad. May your baby grow up bright and healthy, and grow up to be a loving child who can think of others first. Next time I visit, I’ll bring you something delicious to eat, and I’ll also bring you some cute baby clothes!
After reading this letter, I am very touched that there is a junior who cares about my child as much as I do. I am very happy that my child has grown up so far. It’s great that he grows up to be a great person, but our hope is that he grows up healthy and strong, and I think it’s because of your care and love that he’s done so well. We have prepared this event with all our hearts, so please feel free to share good stories with each other and have a happy time.
A father’s wish for his son at a birthday party
This is ○○’s dad. It’s great to see you here, and I’m so grateful that so many of you came despite the bad weather. It must have been hard for you to come, so I hope you eat a lot and have a good time.
I can’t believe it’s already been a year since ○○ was born, the first few months were very difficult for me, I couldn’t sleep at night, and of course, my wife had a lot more difficulties than me, but watching my wife, I realized that she is a strong mother. My wife seems to do everything for her child, and thanks to her dedication, ○○ grew up healthy and well, and finally celebrated her first birthday. We wanted to keep the celebration simple and just between family members, but we wanted to have a lot of people celebrate with us, and we wanted to have a lot of love. We had a lot of friends, colleagues, and family members come, and I am so grateful. My wife has been working hard for months to organize the party, and while it’s not a big deal, I hope you’ll take home some of the gifts we’ve made for you. We’ll also be raffling off some prizes, so I hope you’ll join us.
I used to make fun of my friends when they bragged about their kids, but now I’ve changed my tune. I think my child looks beautiful in everything she does, I think she’s special, I think she’s really smart, and my wife and I always believe in her and are proud of her, so I want her to grow up with a high level of confidence and self-esteem. I want her to grow up and live a life where she enjoys whatever she does and feels happy. I will do my best as a father to help him live that life.
However, I’m not really sure how to do it well, so I’d like to ask for your advice on parenting, so I’d like to take this opportunity to ask for your advice. To all of our guests, I hope you have a great time today, and may your homes be filled with joy and happiness. I’ll conclude my greetings here, and I’ll join Mr. ○○ in greeting you after the ceremony. Thank you.
