I was planning on sending birth announcements to anyone that gave us a baby gift, no matter how big or small.
Who is everyone sending birth announcements to? There are some family members I'm closer with than others, likewise with friends. Some of DH's family haven't even acknowledged that I'm pregnant. I don't think I can afford to send out 200 birth announcements so I feel like I should draw the line somewhere. Any thoughts?
Re: Birth Announcements- Who should get one?
This. Thank goodness for my Christmas card address list.
I hadn't put much thought into this yet but that is a great way to make your list. Thanks!
That reminds me, I need to print out labels before I stop working....
That was my plan, but DH is being spiteful and doesn't even want to bother sending a birth announcement to his family that were invited to the shower, yet never even RSVP-ed. I told him we should bite the bullet and send one, but maybe slowly drop them off the Christmas card list next year...

Generally any family or friends who attended your shower should get an announcement. Work showers not so much, but family showers.
I would send to close family, aunts/uncles/grandparents. If you want to announce, to a large amount of people, you could put an announcement in a local paper.
