Tips for YOUR birth announcements!
You can, and should, send your birth announcements to anyone you can think of who'd want to share your special news. There's nothing quite like announcing that your very special little bundle has arrived. If you're able to, try and send out your birth announcements as close as possible to the actual birth.

With a little pre-planning, you can have the design and verse already picked out, have the envelopes addressed and everything ready to be put into the mail. Where we come in is when you send us your baby's vital statistics. Date of birth, weight, height, time of arrival. Once we have that delightful information, we immediately put your information into your pre-selected birth announcement - print them, and send them to you.

What to include in YOUR announcement!
Be creative and have fun by writing your own verse - or - choose from our sample verses. You can also choose from our selection of font styles - mix and match to your heart's content.

Your announcement should include a short passage from a poem or popular phrase, your child's full name, date of birth, weight, length, time and place of birth. Of course, what you choose to include is totally up to you and what you feel comfortable using. Don't forget the close, which usually has the parent's names and names of any other siblings. You can also include grandparent's names as well.

You may want to include a picture of your newborn, or wait until your child is older. Both practices are widely accepted, so choose what works best for you. You'll be totally delighted with our cards at Sweet-Pea-Creations where announcing your little one in style is our specialty!

Have you heard moms complain of "pregnancy brain" or "pregnesia"? Whether it's physiological or just a case of too much on the brain - many women will tell you that from shortly after learning they are pregnant until the time their children leave the nest - they can get a little forgetful. Others even call it "mommyheimers."

One area that will help out mom tremendously is setting her up with baby shower thank you cards. As mom is opening the gifts, someone should be making a list of the giver and the item given. This will make it so much easier when it comes time to write thank you cards.

Even better, is to actually supply mom with the thank you card, and pre-addressed stamped envelopes. When the guests arrive, hand them all an envelope and ask them to address the envelope to themselves. That is not an unheard of practice. Remember, you're inviting family and friends; you don't have to be so formal. It's not like you're entertaining the Queen.

What about the actual thank you card? Shop from our selection of thank you cards at Sweet-Pea-Creations! And to make life easier for the mom-to-be, be sure to add the return address printing on the back flap of the envelope for a small fee.

Let's face it, there are many card recipients who simply read the inside text, say "ah, how sweet" and then throw the card away. Yes, it's true. Of course there will be other guests who save everything anyone has ever sent them. With our large selection of thank you cards, you will be sure to find one the mom-to-be will absolutely love, and the recipients will "ooohhh" and "aaahhh" over!

The point is making it simple for mom to get her thank you cards sent out. The memory of those closest to her celebrating the impending birth is far more important than what was on the front of the baby shower thank you card.
