Birth Announcement Facts

Birth announcements are one of the happiest pieces of mail a person can send or receive. New parents want to share their joy with the world as soon as possible after their baby is born in a manner that best reflects their personal feelings. Customized birth announcements can do the job nicely.
Once upon a time, the arrival of a new family member was shared with the help of prepackaged, preprinted birth announcements that came in limited design choices. They were pretty, but not very special. Parents now have the option of either using the traditional preprinted birth announcement when their baby is born or selecting from the literally hundreds of birth announcement designs that are available online.
Birth announcements etiquette dictates that formal announcements be sent to family and friends by regular mail, not email. After all, who wants to hang an email message on their refrigerator. Birth announcements should go to family and close friends and friends of the happy grandparents and to anyone who has already sent a gift to the new parents.
At a minimum, you should include the names of the baby and proud parents and siblings (if any) and birth statistics such as length and weight and date of birth on your birth announcements. Birth announcements etiquette also dictates that they be sent any time up to six months after the birth, so you will have time after the baby arrives to finalize and send them out. You will save yourself a little work, though, if you choose your birth announcements design ahead of time, while you still have the time. The selection process will only add to the excitement and anticipation.
You can either choose and purchase blank birth announcements prior to the birth and finalize them after the baby is born or choose your design beforehand and wait to finalize them online after the birth. Regardless of how or when you choose your design, you will be able to select from traditional, Victorian or hip and modern styles. And, if you like, you can even add a photo of your newborn to your birth announcements. There are styles that reflect the interests of the parents, like a favorite sport or hobby, and others with a sibling theme. Multiple births are no problem; plenty of designs are available that announce the arrival of several new family members. Adoptions are also honored with their own special birth announcements design.
Your birth announcements should be as special and unique as you are. The fun is in the choosing.
