Hello all: I have tried to find the answer to this question and I can't. Although not about a baby shower I thought since this is where the etiquette ladies are I would check here.
We are planning on sending out baby/birth announcements once the baby arrives. Family, friends and some co-workers would be receiving announcements. My question is: Are you supposed to send announcements to everyone that attended your wedding? I have been told that as these people celebrated your union they would care to be informed of when your baby arrived. (I ask this because both my parents and my husband's parents invited some of their friends to the wedding and I would need to re-obtain the addresses as I lost them after the wedding thank you notes went out.)
Thanks in advance.
Re: Birth announcement etiquette
I agree. A lot of people, especially of older generations, receive birth announcements and think "I should send a gift". So if I was of this school of thought and received an announcement after not having heard from you since your wedding, I would just think it was a ploy for gifts. So I would just stick to people you are close with, are at the very least in contact with.

We use the Christmas card list. We looked at the list from the previous year and based it off of that.
