How to Write a Birth Announcement
If you are a new parent, you are probably busy with your little bundle of joy. But at the same time you are eager and anxious to tell your friends and family about the newest addition to your family. The best way to do this is by creating or purchasing your own birth announcements.
- List all of the info you want on the birth announcement on a piece of paper as a draft. You want the baby’s first, last and middle name, the date of birth and their height and weight. Add both of the parents’ names. Some people mention siblings and grandparents but this is optional.
- Purchase a set of birth announcement cards at most stationary stores. They will more than likely pay $50-$75 for a pack of 50. If you choose specialized ones such as ones with embellishments, you will end up paying much more.
- Consider having your birth announcements custom made. This option is a bit more costly than store bought ones. These are done at copy and print shops.
- Shopping online for your birth announcements is quick and easy. Online shopping is popular among many people because it is something they can do right from the comforts of their homes. You can locate a vendor that you want to purchase from and place your order right online. The order is then shipped right to your mailbox.
- Include a picture of the new baby along with each announcement. It is also a good idea to send the birth announcement to your local newspaper to be published.
