I sent mine out when she was like 2 weeks old, I'm not sure what's appropriate but I wanted to do it pretty quickly and I had taken some cute photos so I just went ahead and ordered them.
We sent ours as part of a Christmas card so about 1 month after. I don't know if there is any 'etiquette' on this but I would think within the first 6 weeks or so would be fine!
We didn't take newborn photos until LO was 4 weeks old. By the time we got the proofs and ordered announcements it was around 6 weeks when they were sent out.
DS was born 11/8/12; we sent out birth announcements along with X'mas cards, around the first week of December. So i guess ours went out in 4 weeks' time.

E was born 11/15 and I just ordered them. I was originally going to do christmas card/birth announcements, but was so busy. He'll be about 11 weeks when they arrive and go out.
