Baby Announcements

Another holiday is just around the corner as is the birth of a bundle of new babies all wrapped in cuteness and cuddles. The 4^th of July birth celebration is an opportunity to create birth announcements in red, white and blue. Giving birth around the holidays is not only an excuse to get out of cooking, cleaning and hosting, it’s a chance to show your seasonal spirit with July Fourth themed birth announcements.

Of course the Fourth of July birth announcement should include the colors of the American flag but it doesn’t mean the entire card has to be stripes and stars. The colors could act as an accent to your main palette or feature in one part of the overall design. A little flag on the frame of the announcement can be just enough to commemorate your double celebration.

When it comes to choosing the photograph for your patriotic birth announcement there are a number of ways to go. A picture of your darling babe with an American flag in their cute little hand is adorable. If you have an outfit that says apple pie, a patriotic onesie or a cute blanket in red white and blue the focus of your patriot theme can be your child.

Consider a more subtle Fourth of July themed birth announcement for a more abstract card. Fireworks, picnic accessories, images of historic monuments or presidents can all feature in a Fourth of July theme. A plain white and blue birth announcement design with shadowed stars in the background is another way to hint at a theme without allowing it to dominate the announcement.

Finding seasonally themed birth announcements in the birth announcement section of the printing store can be limiting. Most online printers focus seasonal birth announcements around the winter holidays such as Christmas and Hanukkah. Be sure to check travel, seasonal, landscape as well as the modern sections of the printer’s template sections.
