My Japanese friend has just had a baby boy, how should I properly congratulate her?

Question:


My Japanese friend has just had a baby boy. I will bring her onigiri from my country when I visit next week, but are there other Japanese customs in this instance I should follow?

Thank you!

Answer:


Usually, Japanese people give money (10,000 yen or so in general) in this kind of envelop.

This is Japanese custom. But since you are not Japanese, there is nothing like you "should" follow this custom.
