Can I see your birth announcements?

in Success after IF
I'm finally getting to my birth announcements and I'm wondering if I should include a picture of Ella holding them cause I don't want to leave beautiful big sister out, but it also feels like they should be in the spotlight cause she got her turn.  Ugh.  Anyway, I'm also not really finding any that catch my eye, can you direct me to some that aren't too expensive since I'll probably be mailing them to quite a few people.

    I would love love love to help you put something together. seeing as I was there when you put them together in the 1st place, lol.  If you want some design/photoshop help, I have time.

    I like the idea of Ella in there somehow, but I don't think it's a crime if she's not.

    Thanks Davez, one of the pictures I'm trying to edit myself, but the other one you can have at it cause I've spent endless hours trying to get it right and I just can't.  I'm still on the fence about Ella being in it, and it's mainly because I can't get a good picture of all three of them. 

    I'll send you the picture in the morning, I'm hitting the sack!  Thanks again for the generous offer!

    I didn't have G in S2's birth announcement. Here's what it looked like.

    I saw the design on peargreetings.com and recreated it via Photoshop. I then printed w/ Vistaprint. 100 of them w/ envelopes cost me $48.71.

    I didn't do birth announcements. I was too overwhelmed as a new mom.   :)

    I think it would be totally cute if you had a picture of Ella holding them in your announcement.

    I have seen ones that have said Big Sister 'Ella' is proud to announce the arrival of her brother 'John' and then with pictures of them together. I thought it was cute.

    I had a trifold and created it through photoshop.  The first part consisted of mainly Michael, but on the back the photographer had a cute family pic of us on the bed with Aubreigh holding him.  I also did a small spread with each of us individually holding him.  I just could not decide on which pics to use!
