Birth Announcements-Sharing the Excitement
Preparing for a baby is a very busy time. You want to let
everyone know how excited you are about your new addition. There
are lots of questions when it comes to birth announcements. For
a first time parent, with so much already on the plate, birth
announcements can fall by the wayside, but they need not.
Ordering and sending birth
announcements are now easier than ever.
Boy or Girl birth announcement. The first task is to choose
which birth announcement design will be used. If the sex of the
baby is known, choose a gender appropriate style. Shades of blue
work well for boys, and pink hues are perfect for baby girls. If
the sex of the baby is not known, there are many non-gender
specific styles to choose from. In either case, the parents
should choose a style that reflects their relationship and their
own unique style.
Many options are available for wording in birth announcements,
just as in engagement announcements. Sometimes family situations
are far from traditional and call for appropriate wording.
Sometimes the grandparents want to be a part of the
announcement. Who came blame them for wanting to be a big part
of their first grandbaby's life?
When it comes to the list of the recipients, it is totally up to
the parents. Announcements should be sent to immediate family
and close friends who are a part of the parents' life and who
will be a part of the new baby's life. Parents may also choose
to send birth announcements to colleagues and out-of-town family
as well.
When to send the birth announcements can be a delicate issue.
They should be sent immediately following the birth. However,
for some new parents with all the other things that must be
done, sending birth announcements can get put off. As long as
the announcements are sent within a few weeks of the birth, it
will be fine. People are very understanding of all the things
new parents must do.
Sending a birth
announcements is a great way to show appreciation and
respect to everyone who has helped the couple to become a
family. It is a way to be creative and show how the relationship
has grown or changed since marriage. And it is also a great way
to let friends and family know how important they are to the
parents, and how important they will be in the life of the new
baby.
