Haven't sent out announcements at 4 mos

*sigh*  My bad.

I know you "technically" have until 6 months, but at this point, would you bother?

I'm in the same boat - not sure what to do...

Me too - at this point I probably won't - I may mail out a letter with some pics in it - not necessarily birth announcements.

I'm not going to I don't think. I had this plan of getting pro nb pics done and DS was sick so we didn't do it and now everyone's met him so it seems pointless.

I haven't sent mine either.  At this point, I've decided to make a kick-a$s Christmas newsletter instead.

That's a good idea... not necessarily a formal announcement, but yet still "officially" introduces him to some extended family that he hasn't met...

Yes.  Around here it is correct etiquette if you had a shower.  It's just another way of saying thank you for the gifts, and gives an official update with photo.

I would, but I just LOVED my announcements. We sent ours out around 1 -1.5 months though.  Either way, everyone still loved it.

You could always do a nb shot and a recent photo together.  Babies are always more fun when they are smiling!

Awesome idea - I am soooo doing this!  Perfect since DS is getting more pro pics @ 6 months (Dec 5th).  I will be able to show the change in him from the pro newborn pics!

At this point I'd send holiday cards with a pic of LO instead.

I sent mine out at 3 months.  I felt bad about waiting that long, but I also felt bad not doing one.  I was just so overwhelmed when I was on leave to actually take the pictures and design the announcement.  When DD was around 2 1/2 months I received a $15 off coupon from Shutterfly and decided to send them after all.  After the coupon I only paid $25 for 50 announcements and expedited shipping.  I used a card with three photo frames so I could use pictures of DD in the hospital, a few weeks old, and then 2 months old.  I really like how it turned out.  No one said anything about how long it took for them to get out.
