The birth announcement is a great way to officially introduce your new baby to the world. It can also be a great way to announce the upcoming religious celebration of your child’s birth. The christening or baptism printed insert allows you to save money on postage and announce two important things in one go.
A christening or baptism or blessing ceremony (whatever specific religious ritual you do) is an occasion for respect, reverence and communion and the christening reminder should reflect ..read more

For my darling nieces first Christmas on this planet I painted them both their own custom toy boxes with their names dominantly displayed. I filled the boxes with copies of my favorite books from early childhood and a couple of soft teddy bears for reading buddies. As I scanned my memory banks for birth announcement ideas I started thinking: what about birth announcement toy boxes?
Begin with a plain unfinished wooden box. I like the crate style available at the craft ..read more

There’s a growing trend among new mothers to save the baby shower until after the baby’s birth. This allows the mother to enjoy a final bit of me time before getting down to the serious and selfless business of raising a child. It’s also a great place to hand out your birth announcements.
If you were prepared enough to get the majority of your birth announcement design completed before your child was born, having them ready for the baby shower shouldn’t ..read more

My baby boy’s favorite time of day is bath time. It could be the bubbles, the rubber ducks or the fact that he was born under a water sign, I don’t know. All I know is he runs to the bath tub and stays in until he reaches full prune capacity and he’s being doing it since he was just born (well, not the running part). If you too have a water baby, a bath time themed birth announcement may ..read more

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.

I have received several comments telling me how much people wished they had ordered birth announcements for their own baby. Their problem? Their babies are six, eight or ten months old and sending out a birth announcement may seem a little late and inappropriate. But the first birthday announcement is a great birth announcement substitute.
The first birthday is one of the most important celebrations in a young child’s life. Formal announcements make great keepsakes and allow parents to have a ..read more
