Baby Announcements

My baby boy is on a real lollipop kick lately. They are the ultimate embodiment of a young child’s sweet tooth. It may have been done a thousand times but I don’t think anything really beats the lollipop birth announcement. It’s easy to do, looks colorful and tastes wonderful.

Sugar and babies, what more could you ask for?

Begin by deciding whether you will make your lollipop birth announcements from scratch or doctor pre made sweet sticks. Personally I think the gourmet lollipop is a wonderful way to go. These are usually oversized and come in a nice variety of unique flavors. But of course, they do cost a little more (unless you buy a couple hundred at a time). Think about your budget and your color choices when choosing your lollipops.

Consider changing the prepackaging on your lollipops for your birth announcements. The lollipops may come in plain clear plastic and a colored wrap may look better given the color scheme on your label. Either complete repackage the lollipops or put your colored wrapping over the original clear wrapping.

When it comes to the label for your lollipop birth announcement, the full color circular sticker is adorable. I like comic sans font for this birth announcement coupled with an image of your child and the birth stats. Consider placing a label on each side of the lollipop to include more information. This looks good with the striped variety of lollipop. Take time at your online printer’s website creating truly custom and adorable sticker labels.

Of course, even if you have lollipop birth announcements at your post birth baby shower or hand them out at the office, there is no substitute to the printed birth announcement. Order a few different kinds of birth announcement to ensure you have enough for all your friends and family in social appropriate mediums.

I mean sugar, you get that right?
