 Generally there's no reason not to give a congratulatory card to a teacher for a happy occassion in his/her family.

 As a soon to be teacher it's not inappropriate at all....favorite teacher or not. I got one of my teachers a card and clothes for her baby when she had one. I also bought a condolence card when a teacher's parent died. Not inappropriate at all...just as long as you have that kind of student-teacher relationship where it is acceptable to him.

 I think buying a card and getting your class to all sign it is a good idea.
Or sign it from your family i.e.
Congratulations on the birth of your son,
Kindest wishes, The Williams Family.
I think i would be a little inaproppriate if it were just from you though..he might get the wrong idea.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a congratulations card. All you're saying is "congratulations" - you're not professing your undying love.
He might even appreciate it.
