A colleague is leaving on maternity leave – I don’t really know the person that well – what should I say on their farewell / baby card?

Probably something like “Enjoy the time to get to know the newest person in your life!”
Probably “See you when you see how expensive babies are and you come back to work to earn some moolah!” wouldn’t work as well. :)
“You are going to make a great mom. See you in a few months. All the best…”
“My condolences” and/or “Enjoy cleaning up the poop”
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Thank god I don’t have to give birth!
How about, “I hope the episiotomy heals well and you don’t get hemmorhoids.” That would make an impression!
There’s nothing wrong with “Best Wishes” or “Congrats!” Just be sincere, don’t try to be personal or you may come across as artificial since you don’t know the person well.
If all else fails, look at what someone else wrote and say the same thing in different words. I’d copy off of @avvooooooo and write, “Have fun welcoming a special little person to your family!”
Excellent, great material ppl. Thanks.
@MissAusten Stop copying me! You’re always copying me! I’m telling!
Come on people! Send a little lurve to Mr. Brassman!
@cyndyh :P
Tell her to stop copying me!
@MissAusten : Ok, now, stop copying avvooooooo.
@avvooooooo : And you, stop getting in MissAusten’s face.
@Brassman: See what your coworker has to look forward to. Kids. I tell ya. :^>
I want a cookie too! If she gets a cookie, I get one too!
Neither of you gets cookies. I get all of the cookies.
I have some cake. MissAusten can cut and avvooooooo can pick.
@avvooooooo You can have the cake. I’m going to make my own tomorrow, a Green Tomato Cake with whatever tomatoes in my garden haven’t turned. Just please don’t tell my personal trainer.
@MissAusten Ok! Works for me!
Secretly looking for trainer’s number
Now, now. Let’s not go tattling. She might just make enough for you, too, if you’re nice to her. :^>
Ok, don’t pout. You can have a slice, but be warned—you will instantly gain five pounds.
@MissAusten That’s ok. We got a total gym off of eBay the other day. The total gym… ‘Cause Chuck Norris said so. And said that if I use it, I’ll work off that five pounds in three minutes or so.
