Too late for birth announcements?

ADKINSJV · June 2013

My son is almost 7 months old and I want to send out announcements, but is it too late? I'd like to send them to family and friends, if I did this I would choose a few pictures and do from birth to present time, but if I do just a few for keepsake purposes (baby book and grandparents only) I would do around his birth time. Opinions???

I'd say its too late. Print one for the baby book, but I wouldn't mail them to anyone at this point.

I am pretty sure that by now everyone who needs to know that you have a baby knows. Birth Announcements at this time are pointless. If you know someone wants one as a keepsake then go for it. But otherwise you might as well forget it.

If you're going to do keepsakes for yourself and the grandparents I think that's fine. If I was a friend and got one from you now I would think it's REALLY weird.

I think it is too late. Sorry!

I sent thank-yous for our Christening out late and included recent photos and just put a quick note that "mom and dad have been really busy with me & my brothers, but we are all doing well". Maybe if its close friends and family you can do something like that. I'm always late with stuff and people I know well pretty much understand. I wouldn't send it to distant relatives or friends you aren't close to though, they might think its odd to get it late.

p.s. FWIW I would never judge a late thank-you or birth announcement. Its the thought that counts.

I say it's too late. I think the people that you're closest with already know all the great details and others would think it was weird to get an announcement for a 7 month old. I know I would.

This. I'd just wait for 1st bday invites at this point. You could always include photos on that.

I just wrote stats on the back of a photo for mine, and some were pretty late-like 3 months old. Thank you cards are never too late IMO, but at 7 months I would only give an announcement to the grandparents who may want to frame or save them. If you want to send something, I would just print the photo (or a strip with birth and now or something). Our family loves getting pictures, everywhere we've taken LO people had printed and framed shots we had put on Facebook.
