Baby Announcements

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. What about charm bracelets or necklaces that carry a baby theme and compliment your printed birth announcement?

I’m a big believer in the world and culture of online shopping. I find my best bargains online and discover the most creative ways of taking the old and giving it a new spin. The online printer, the online auction and the online craft supply store offer the opportunity for anyone, especially the beaming new parents to make something for friends and family that really commemorates their new addition.

Determine the nature of your birth announcement addition. Personally, I like the necklace idea. Let’s be honest it’s the ladies that hold the family memories, love to talk about babies and are the ones bound to treasure a keepsake. Tailor your gift to the female members of your family. Necklaces work best as its sort of a one size fits all deal.

Begin by choosing your charm or pendant, an essential part of your birth announcement necklace. The sterling silver baby bottle, the pacifier or even the baby crib are cute but something a little more obscure may be more fun; an egg, a butterfly, a bird or any other symbol of birth and new life.

Buy your necklace chains in bulk to save a lot of money on your birth announcement gifts. I suggest at least an 18 inch chain to ensure a good aesthetic on your friends and family regardless of weight or height. Those few who don’t like the size of the chain can always replace it with one of their own choosing. Again, the online auction is a great place to find a large amount of chains at a great price.

Slip the birth themed jewelry item in the card with their custom printed birth announcements for the cutest surprise for all your proud family and friends.
