Baby Announcements

It that’s time of year again when we celebrate the fathers in the family. New parents are especially aware of the importance of this special time to say thank you to good dads and granddads, uncles and brothers who play a role in their child’s everyday life. Male figures are role models, disciplinarians, caregivers, helpers and moral advisors. Why not show you really care by creating birth announcement stationary just for them.

Whether your new child has already entered the world or is considering such a venture in the near future, creating customized cards, stationary, stickers and posters for dad is a wonderfully special gift.  Whether you turn the cards into the birth announcements you will mail to friends and family or they will be an extra set of greeting cards for dad it doesn’t really matter. Dad will appreciate the effort from his wife or other children.

I think the most important aspect of the father focused birth announcement is the photograph. My husband loves to see images of him and our son together. It makes him grin from ear to ear. I love images of my two guys napping together in black and white; they look like the apple and the tree. Find the perfect image of your husband and child so you can watch the look of joy in his eyes as he opens that first envelope.

When it comes to themes for the father focused birth announcement, consider a simple background that is more fun and light than cutesy. I don’t know too many men who are big fans of fluffy bunny rabbits, teddy bears and rubber duckies. Go with something modern, perhaps abstract or even linear.

Place the cards in a decorated gift box for this special Father’s Day birth announcement gift. The cute final touch would be decorating the presentation box with your baby’s handprints. Make it a gift dad will want to hold on to for many years to come.
