Sending birth announcements..?

Nicolesull89 · October 2015

Who's sending birth announcements once their little ones get here?

I can't decide. I feel like I'd just giving myself something else to worry about.

I'd like to! We have so many people we see rarely and I am excited to send them photos of our little guy.

I'm getting the kind you just address on the back.

I like the idea, but I have no idea who I'd send them to, lol.

I'm just making our Christmas card double as a birth announcement.

I was thinking the same thing! Then it's only one set of cards to address!

I picked out a template on the tinyprints website and saved it. I will just go back and add in her birthdate, a photo, and stats once she is here. They have 20% off for new moms so it's very reasonable.

Yep! I'll also be sending out my older girls' yearly photos

We are because I'm using it as a official photo to send everyone who was kind enough to buy us a gift. I think they deserve something special. Especially since we won't be posting photos on Facebook

I may do an e-announcement through paperless post!

I was going to use the Christmas card as a chance to do the birth announcement. The timing works out well for it.

Ik a lot of people do this but I just feel like it's a waste of money now that everyone has social media now, or Atleast texting. I like the Christmas card doubling as an announcement idea!

I am due 10/26 and have a family photo shoot scheduled for 11/7. This will also be our Christmas photos. Not sure if I will be sending out separate announcements or just Christmas cards.

Combined birth/Christmas card announcement here! NB photos of family will go on card.

I am going to send out a few paper cards (ordering 20ish) to family and close friends and then send out a similar digital announcement to everyone else. I think I want to have a birth announcement as a keepsake and I am sure the grandmas want something to hold on to as well.
