Its hard when new babies are born and you are far away. Plane tickets and gas prices make it so many of us do not get to see the new babies of our friends and family. This distance makes the birth announcement even more important. A birth announcement with additional photographs is a great way to make sure distance friends and relatives get to enjoy baby as much as possible.
The birth announcement insert is ..read more

My friend told me yesterday that she is bronzing her baby’s first shoes but its kind of expensive. I thought it would make a great gift for her birthday or even Mothers Day next year. But what about going a little further? Hows about a bronze birth announcement for immediate family members? Talk about lasting memories.
A quick browse on the baby bronzing websites (not actual babies you understand) let me know that there is ..read more

Don’t you hate when you go to a baby shower and the first half hour is spent explaining the shower theme, organizing game packs and corralling guests into kind of designated seats and order? No one knows when to eat, what to say or where to sit. Avoid disorganization on the day by letting guests know what to expect with a detailed shower invitation.
For the detailed shower invite a postcard style works best. It ..read more

Having a baby is nice, actually its pretty awesome. Sometimes its hard to enjoy a healthy pregnancy because of economic limitations. Babies are not cheap. Being pregnant is not cheap. Compromises here and there will help stretch a dollar and prepare you for parenthood which is also very expensive. Here’s my advice for the home based baby shower on a budget.
A home shower is cheaper because you don’t have to pay for a venue, ..read more

I love when a new baby is born and everyone crowds around admiring the cute little bundle in your arms. My favorite thing is to see other children taking part in this celebration, excited as they are for a new sibling, cousin or friend. Children are the reason for birth announcements so why not make birth announcements just for children?
A birth announcement intended for children can be colorful, creative and fun. There is no ..read more

I love a well structured baby shower but that’s just me. A set order of games, gifts and cake is the expectation for many shower guests. Well, some shower guests. The younger moms to be are skipping a lot of the old school shower games and going for a more sophisticated baby shower. Many showers these days are held in restaurants and club houses where playing games may seem a little well, dated. So what do you do ..read more

I have flowers and gardens on the brain today. Making a veggie garden with my neighbors has got me in the mood for flower related birth announcements. How wonderful would it be to present friends and family with a living bloom to commemorate your baby’s birth? Its not hard to do and the results will be very much appreciated.
Begin by picking up some of those four inch clay pots at the craft store. You ..read more

I’m online this morning looking for cute pictures of my darling baby boy for a photo card book and it got me thinking. Why can’t we make birth announcements in the form of photo books and give them to close friends and family?
Creating a photo book is pretty easy not to mention a deluxe birth announcement for baby’s new grandparents, aunts and uncles. I like the twelve picture albums because its just enough you ..read more
