Hi, my niece was just born about three hours ago and I'm going to embroider a baby blanket for her. I'm having trouble with "Welcome to the family" or, more to the point, with the correct form of 'to'. Can anyone help with the whole phrase so I don't make any mistakes? Thanks. |

Welcome to the family = Fáilte go dtí an chlann.
Dan, "Slán agus Beannacht" is a polite way of saying goodbye - Good health and good wishes be with you..

A chairde/Friends:
A while ago I saw an Irish language "new baby" card that said "Míle fáilte roimh an leanbh nua." I thought that was worded nicely.
That might be an appropriate for this case.
What do you think?
Le meas,
