We had our baby girl on 3/27. We are smitten with her! Her name is Sienna.
Here's my question though...has anyone come across birth announcement sites that don't offer just pink announcements? It's not that I hate pink, here and there is fine, and I'm lucky that friends and family didn't overload me with pink outfits and other things since they know me. But I want to order announcements soon and I see PINK. ONLY. If I'm lucky pink and another color like brown.
Anyone see other options?
Re: Birth Announcements...Pink, pink, pink.
I ordered my announcements from Mixbook.com. Turns out, any layout you choose, you can basically do anything you want to it. My background was gray, I made it blue. The pictures were edged in white, I changed that to gray. I could make pictures bigger or smaller, delete picture boxes etc. The price was great too! I paid $.50/print.
My friend has an online company that you should definitely check out. She's fast, creative and awesome to work with. She'll print and ship you cards, or if you prefer, she'll create a digital design for you that you can then just have printed like a regular picture at WalMart (or wherever). If you go the digital route, she usually gets your design to you within a few hours. Now a lot of her girl announcements have pink in them, but a few of them don't AND she will work with any ideas you have and make changes. Anyhoo, here's her website.

They do have fronts and backs, but it is actually pretty cool looking. On the front of mine, I put my favorite photo with his name and stats. On the back, I put another pic that I love and a bible verse. You can really do anything. I forgot to mention, you can even change font type, color, size etc. It's like the layout you choose is just a guide and then you're free to do whatever you want.
Also, when I ordered them, it said it'd be like 2 1/2 weeks before I'd receive the package. I got them in less than a week so be sure to select the cheapest shipping option.

This is the one I picked from Walmart because it was less pink. I think there were others too.
