Baby Announcements

A set of address labels for the new baby? With many a toy and new outfit coming their way the new baby will be sending plenty of thank you cards to friends and relatives. Whether you choose to send them in your name or the baby’s name, address labels with the baby’s first and last name is one way of making their birth and family membership official. They are a cute addition to birth announcements and other greeting cards.

Choose a rubber duck or alphabet block for the image. Look through the different designs offered by online companies. If you can’t find exactly what you are looking for in the label section head on over to business cards designs for daycares. They are bound to have something appropriately cutesy. Expand your search to “children” and you’ll get rainbows, sunshine and handprints to choose from.

When it comes to the text for baby’s address labels a font that resembles handwriting is a nice touch. Comic Sans is another choice and offers a round bubbly effect. You could also try Arial or Helvetica for a clean simple line. Be sure to experiment with different fonts and weigh them against your chosen image before finalizing your label.

When it comes to ordering address labels for your child you want to have enough for all the birth announcements and thank you cards but have a few left over for special occasions. If you order 250 you will certainly have enough for baby’s first Christmas and perhaps their first birthday thank you cards as well. It may not be a good idea to get a thousand or more as their personality is still growing and in a year or so you may want to revamp your choices.

Addressing and signing cards from children isn’t everyone’s thing but it can be a real sweet keepsake for grandparents. With my own son’s birth announcements we included a handprint insert in every card just to give things an extra special touch. The compliments were numerous and the keepsake forever. Try address labels for baby as a special touch, you may find it appreciated more than you would have imagined.
