3rd Trimester

Have you picked out birth announcements yet?

Just curious if you picked out birth announcements yet and if so, from where? We are having professional pics done at our house sometime between 1-2 wks after birth, so I'm looking at pre-ordering announcements so I only have to send them the photo and birth stats. I'm having a hard time choosing because there are soooo many cute ones!

    I just plan on taking pics after she is born and doing a quick order online so I haven't even looked yet.

    DH laughs at me becuse I am such a planner, but I wanted to have them picked out so we just have to drop in a photo and the stats. And have them out fairly soon after the birth/  I also have a mail merge ready to print lables, bought a bunch of forever stamps before that last postage increase and my MIL said she would label and stamp them for me. I love that woman. But I am very type A.

  • I found some I loved on Tiny Prints.com. I didn't order them and now I took off work early, so I can't afford to splurge. DH is taking her newborn pics here, so I am thinking I'll use shutterfly or snapfish- they still have a ton of good options. I already pre-printed my address labels for mailing them out, so I just have to design them and order.

  • I picked these.  We're also having newborn pics done - it will be nice to have it all ready to go once the pics are back.
  • Yup! We did a custom order through Less Ordinary Designs
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I plan on making my own in photoshop and getting them printed as 4x6 prints. But if I were going to buy, I'd use Shutterfly (I've had excellent experiences with them) or one of the sellers are Etsy (there are a TON of cute designs).

  • Looked into the options but haven't picked anything yet. Won't until she's born and I have a specific picture in mind to send.
  • i have already made mine in Illustrator with placeholders where DS' photos will go. then, i will have to insert those, and his birth stats, then off to the printers.
  • I think we are getting this one. I plan to order in a couple of weeks because they will pre-ship envelopes, so I can take them with me to the hospital and address, stamp, etc., while I have down time.

  • I made our own announcements using Scrapblog.  I'm going to send them out with a pic or pics included.
  • Does your photographer offer them?  They often do so I would check with him/her.
  • nope plan on doing it after the baby is born
  • I picked some up from Hobby Lobby (10 for 14.99) that have a ribbon and you run them through your printer with whatever you want them to say.
