Make Arabic Cards for Weddings, New Babies, and Family

Congratulation cards for the occasions that come up most — weddings, births, graduations, and everyday family messages — with the phrases for each.

Weddings, new babies, exam results, a new job — the occasions that fill a family chat. Arabic has a specific congratulation for most of them, which is handy: you rarely have to compose anything, you just have to pick the right one.

Make one

  1. Open the Arabic keyboard and expand Insert Greetings & Phrases.
  2. Search for the occasion — wedding, baby, congratulations — and insert the phrase.
  3. Add the person’s name after it if you like.
  4. Click Create card, choose a design, and Download.

The phrase for each occasion

All of these are in the phrase library, so insert rather than retype — the library spelling is the reviewed one.

OccasionArabicSay it as
Congratulations, generallyمبروكmabrouk
Warmer congratulationsألف مبروكalf mabrouk
A weddingمبروك الزواجmabrouk az-zawaj
A new babyمبروك المولودmabrouk al-mawlud
Passing an exam, a successمبروك النجاحmabrouk an-najah
Wishing someone luckبالتوفيقbi-t-tawfiq
Blessing someoneبارك الله فيكbarak Allah fik

ألف مبروك — literally “a thousand congratulations” — is the warm general-purpose choice, and the one to use if you are not sure which specific phrase fits.

بالتوفيق is a wish rather than a congratulation: for the exam ahead, the new job starting, the move being made. It is the one to send before rather than after.

A common reply to being congratulated is بارك الله فيك, which is why that phrase also works as a card in its own right.

Typing them instead

In the default Traditional typing style:

TypeGet
mbrwkمبروك
-alf mbrwkألف مبروك
mbrwk alzwajمبروك الزواج
mbrwk almwlwdمبروك المولود
bark allh fikبارك الله فيك

Note -alf rather than alf — the -a gives the alif with hamza in ألف.

Adding a name

This is what turns a generic card into one for a person, and it is the single most worthwhile thing to do here.

Insert the phrase, then type the name after it in the editor before opening the studio. Arabic names can be typed the same way as any other word — mHmd and faTmh' for instance — or pasted in if you have the spelling from elsewhere.

Keep the whole thing short. A phrase and a name is the right amount for a card.

Choosing a design

OccasionTry

A new babyNew Beginnings, or Celebration
Exam results, a graduationCelebration
A new job or a moveNew Beginnings
A general family messageFamily
A thank youThank You

If none of them feels right, the modern and minimal designs — Classic, Elegant, Minimal — carry any message without claiming an occasion. Choosing a card design has the full mapping, and each design has several backgrounds worth cycling before you switch design.

Two phrases on one card

A greeting followed by the congratulation reads well: السلام عليكم then ألف مبروك. Use + Message, stack them, and insert the finished line — see building a message from ready phrases.

For a wedding you might use ألف مبروك with بارك الله فيكما. Two phrases and a name is about the limit before a card starts to look crowded.

Sending it

Download saves the image as a PNG, ready for a message, a group chat, or a print. Where your browser can share files, a Share button appears alongside.

The card is made in your browser, and the filename carries only the site name and the date — never the name you wrote or the occasion.

Phrases and customs vary by region and community, so choose wording that feels right for your context.

Next step

Open the phrase library and look at the Congratulations & Life Events category — it covers more occasions than the ones above. Insert one, add a name, and make the card.
