I recently received an adorable birth announcement from a friend. It’s one I may never have considered myself but now I have it, I will use it every single day. The ceramic mug birth announcement was and still is a good idea. Mugs are practical, children are beautiful; the combination is obvious.
When it comes to choosing the style and color of your mug for the birth announcement, cost plays a large role. The cheapest mugs are the diner sized coffee ..read more

My baby boy is on a real lollipop kick lately. They are the ultimate embodiment of a young child’s sweet tooth. It may have been done a thousand times but I don’t think anything really beats the lollipop birth announcement. It’s easy to do, looks colorful and tastes wonderful.
Sugar and babies, what more could you ask for?
Begin by deciding whether you will make your lollipop birth announcements from scratch or doctor pre made sweet sticks. Personally I think the gourmet ..read more

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love hearing about new babies being born in the autumn; it’s such a compliment to the ideas of harvest and plenty that proliferate around the fall holidays. Those fall babies will be here before you know it and a pumpkin patch themed birth announcement is a super cute way to go.
The custom printed fall themed birth announcement is certainly a valid option. Choose warm fall colors as the background to your baby’s ..read more

I was window shopping over the weekend and came across the cutest little flower press for $7. Seemed like quite a deal if only I could think of something to use pressed flowers for. And then of course it came to me: decorating baby birth announcements.
Flowers are a traditional gift for your new moms and a great way to distract from those first post birth discomforts. By pressing the flowers and incorporating them into your birth announcements. Whether directly gluing ..read more

I love it when I receive a new photograph of one of my nieces or nephews. Even as they grow ever closer to teenagerhood, it’s still great to get their latest school picture or team portrait. I still have those first pictures from the day they were brought home from the hospital. Yes, pictures of your favorite people are things you will always treasure. But you know what I like best about those photos? They always come in a frame.
Whether ..read more

It came to me the other day when I was perusing the toy store with my baby boy. We were in the classic wooden toys area, admiring the strength and longevity of the pieces. I picked up a wooden alphabet block. My son grabbed it thinking it was a mirror and tried to find his reflection in the surface. And so came the idea of the birth announcement wooden block.
To make a birth announcement out of a wooden block there ..read more

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

I’m a big fan of the collage photo when it comes to showcasing your little one. Children are busy creatures from day one and new parents spend most of their time taking photographs. I think the first few weeks of my son’s life I took an average of 100 photographs every day. These are great for the parents but a little more difficult to share with friends and family. And try and choose a single photograph? Impossible. And that’s where ..read more

If you want to save some money on your candy box birth announcement, consider finding a template online and photocopying it onto cardstock. Score along the folds and cut out the main box with very sharp scissors. ..read more
