anyone not doing birth announcements?

I can't really think of a good reason to do them - just one more thing to spend time and money on... Am I crazy or uncouth for not doing them?

    I am going to try, but we'll see how much the grand total will be first.  It is a lot of money.  I don't think you would be "uncouth" if you didn't do them.  There is a lot going on at that time!  My friend did not send any out until her child was 3-4 months old!

    And I know that you can make them yourself, but this will probably not happen for me.  Not unless DH turns into Martha Stewart.  I was going to try to make a scrapbook at some point, but making a ton of birth announcements myself does not sound like a fun prospect.

    Maybe we'll just order a few for family, or out of town family?

    I haven't really looked into it. I am going to look at shutterfly and maybe into having SIL come over and we can make our own, but it is not a priority. He is going to be born close enough to Christmas that we may do our first family Christmas card with a pic of all 3 of us.

    I didn't with DS. I just put it up on FB the day after I had him.

    We probably won't. We didn't for DS. We sent out a mass email with pictures the day after DS was born.

    My birth announcement will be on Facebook lol

    With DS1 and 2 I did them and included a picture. This time though since I haven't done my thank you cards for the shower, I will be sending those out with a picture.

    It really is in my opinion and experience a waste to send them out, especially when most people (like myself) just put them in a drawer or in the back of a cupboard.

    I just ordered a token amount for his baby book and my parents. Vistaprint had a sale for 20 free announcements, so I got 20 for $7 *shipping fee*.

    I would get a small amount, just so you have them for the baby book and maybe to hang on the fridge. You'd probably spend less than $15 if you hit a sale, Vistaprint is ALWAYS giving away free stuff and discounted stuff.
