Baby Birth Announcements--Announcing a New Addition
Getting ready for a new addition to the family is a very busy
time. New or experienced parents would like nothing more for
everything to go smoothly. However, there is a long list of
tasks to complete before baby arrives. If parents want to share
their excitement with friends and family, a baby birth
announcement is one of the most important tasks to complete.
It may be difficult to decide the style of baby birth
announcement to send out. One great idea is to choose a style
that coordinates with your nursery. Lots of work has already
gone into making the nursery ready for baby. Choose a similar
style for the baby birth announcement and save time deciding on
a theme.
Another great idea for the birth announcement is to include a
photo-that is if the parents have time. It can be difficult to
get a great picture and can take some time. It is important to
be patient when taking pictures but eventually a shot worthy of
the baby birth announcement will be taken. A photo taken with
parents and new baby are a great way to share with everyone the
new family entity. If it is too difficult or too time consuming
to take a picture right after baby birth, send the announcement
first and then send pictures at a later date.
There is a standard for what type of information should be
included in the baby birth announcement. First the parents names
and then the new baby's name should be included. Information
about the baby that should be put in the announcement includes
birthday, birth weight and height. This should all the
information friends and family need to learn about the new
baby.
It is important to remember that birth announcements are not a
request for gifts. Gifts are something that should be taken care
of with the baby shower before baby's birth. However, some
friends and family will send gifts, and may even send them
before the announcements are sent. When ordering baby birth
announcements, it is a good idea to order thank you notes that
coordinate with the theme. This way the parents will be ready to
send thank you notes when gifts arrive.
A new baby is such a happy and busy time. Choosing the right
baby birth announcement is the perfect way to share the
happiness with friends and family. For a wonderful selection of
