Coolest Photo Birth Announcements

Most birth announcements include standard information, like the parent(s)' names, bab(ies)' name(s), birth date, birth weight, and length.

If you go online, here is a place which easy personalization process provides an intuitive step-by-step way to fill out and preview all of your information. You can either choose to use their suggested wording and layout or create the entire birth announcement yourself.

It is not necessary to hand sign the announcement or include a personal note in each card. Receivers understand that Mom and Dad are extremely busy, and they will appreciate just hearing from you and you sharing the news with them. If there is time and the energy, you could include a short note to certain close relatives, but again, it is not necessary. It is proper for receivers to call you or send a note.

Typically, it is not proper to explicitly state a no gift policy or direct recipients to a gift registry. Leave the decision in the receiver's hands, and let them contact you at their discretion. When you do receive a gift or thoughtful note, send a thank you card as soon as possible to convey your gratitude.

Here is a unique selection of thank you notes and personal baby stationery. For a coordinated look, you can choose a birth announcement with a matching thank you card.
