Going green is all the rage these days and for good reason. Making smarter choices in all aspects of our lives saves money and saves the planet. The green birth announcement is certainly a hip way to go, but what exactly does it entail?

Begin by copying the ..read more

Everywhere you look in my town lately there are yard signs. The campaign for mayor in middle of nowhere, Wyoming is on the verge of boiling over into revolution.

What could be bigger news that the announcement of your child’s birth?
Now I must admit the yard sign birth announcement is not my own original thought. Many a birth ..read more

The newspaper birth announcement is just as important to the new parents as the custom printed announcement. The newspaper provides an historic record of your child’s birth. Take a moment to review the main components of the newspaper birth announcement.
Name. Baby’s full name is usually preferred but a nickname is okay too. When we announced our son’s birth we wrote out his full pretentious embarrassing but ultimately character filled name in full and then wrote underneath: “aka baby Nik.” We ..read more

The traditional oriented birth announcement is for most of us a must when it comes to celebrating the birth of your new baby. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be creative or try something new.

I have spent the last few days trying to perfect the gentle (well not so gentle) art of printing your own t-shirts. But now I have the gist of things I have time to think over the many applications. And what came to mind? You guessed it: T-shirt birth announcements.
My one year old looks adorable in his newly printed custom t-shirt and all I can think of are t-shirts for baby and parents. But what about expanding the thought and ..read more

Blogs really are a response to the real world however much the anti-Internet folks would like to have us believe otherwise. I have spent the last couple of weeks looking for someone to put grommets (you know the ring doo hicks on the corners to hold the ropes) on a few banners I ordered when they were on sale. It’s all about the cheapest way to go with me. But birth announcement banners are quite an affordable way to go ..read more

Okay so I admit my own baby boy is far from a baby these days. 16 month old baby Nik (read his antics at babypile.com) is quickly becoming a toddler. But that doesn’t stop me from finding images of him to fall in love with and wanting to print on something asap so I can share with everyone I know. So for those of us who have a cute photo of our growing baby and have already mailed the birth ..read more
