Baby Announcements

It may seem a little early to start thinking about winter babies but I assure you mommies to be are thinking about the upcoming birth of their child every second of every day. Trying to think of original ways to announce your baby’s birth is a matter of forward planning. And of course those snow globes need to be ordered in bulk in advance of the birth.

There are a number of ways to go when it comes to making a snow globe birth announcement. You can actually purchase a few dozen snow globe kits and make them up yourself but that’s quite an expensive way to go. With a nearly two year old running around my home I assure you, you are going to need your extra pennies for other items.

Consider making snow globes using empty baby jars. This is a cute way to announce your child’s birth and a great way to keep you distracted from the back pain and swollen ankles. Alternately you could fill empty acrylic holiday baubles with your snow globe supplies. Both ways work well and save you tons of cash.

Create custom printed announcements that are laminated or in another way waterproof for your birth announcement snow globe. You could glue a baby trinket to the bottom of the glass jar and then place the different birth statistics on laminated card pieces and mix them up with the “snow.” Add the water and seal the globe closed.

How you decorate and finish your birth announcement snow globe is up to you. A few painted details on the outside of the glass, a little glitter in the snow, even a picture of your darling new baby all work well for this winter wonderland birth announcement.
