Birth announcements, for those that aren't quite in the know, are little cards you send out to friends and family announcing the successful birth of your newborn. They should be sent out to all the mothers' bridal shower and wedding party friends because it's confirmation of a success. They're especially good if you have a massive amount of contacts, and you don't feel like alerting them all to your baby's details and birth time, etc.
Birth announcements are super great because they allow you to encapsulate the basic details of a standard birth like birth weight, name, time of birth, day, date, and not much more. The key to the cards' charm is their simplicity and elegance of presentation. It's almost like getting a little nudge or wink. It just alerts you to the fact of a successful birth. A wonderful black and white, or color, photo of the newborn just after birth is customary. The majority of the birth announcement cards come in discounted bulk packs because most people have at least 25 colleagues or friends they want to alert. It's a proud moment in a parent's life to introduce their baby into the world - formally (not physically). Many parents keep at least one copy of the card for a scrap book and one to give to the adult-version of the baby once it's all grown up and can appreciate the card for its sentimental value. It's like a stylized baby picture with meaning, and more parents should utilize the internet to craft customized birth announcements in a few minutes' time. It's not that labor-intensive and your baby really deserves a special proclamation of its beautiful existence and the moment when it arrived here.
Birth announcements should be in postcard format and designed for simplicity. They should be minimalist, dainty, and sweet. They're the easiest way to introduce your friends to your new babe.
