Birth Announcement Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before diving into wording details and examples, let\u2019s get into a few birth announcement tips that will make this process easy as pie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Gather mailing addresses ahead of time.<\/li>
  2. Select the birth announcement design now. <\/li>
  3. Plan to have a photoshoot shortly after the birth.<\/li>
  4. Mail your baby announcements in minutes shortly thereafter. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Gather mailing addresses now. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Gather the mailing addresses that you\u2019ll need now — before the baby arrives and you\u2019re rushed to get the cards into the mail. This way, when you\u2019re ready to mail them — the addresses will be handy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Select the birth announcement now.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Another task you can accomplish before the baby arrives: browse and select the birth announcement design that makes your heart flutter. This way, you can spend a little extra time playing around with the templates, plugging your baby\u2019s name to see how the font will look on the final product, taking a few nights to just sleep on it — all in peace. Once the baby arrives, all you\u2019ll have to do is plug in the details and upload the photo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s all about minimizing your workload post-birth\u2026 Because you know, sleep is important<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Plan your photoshoot.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You obviously can\u2019t have a photoshoot without the baby, but you can make the plans to have one. Finding a photographer that jives with you and has the \u2018look\u2019 you\u2019re hoping to capture will take a bit of time so getting this done ahead of time will save you a time-crunch induced headache. Once the baby arrives, you\u2019ll be ready for the photoshoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mail your birth announcements in minutes.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Having done all the organizing and work ahead of time, once the photos are in your hands you can upload your photo for a ready-to-go birth announcement! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pro tip — Postable will print, address and mail your birth announcements for you. This way all you have to do is click send.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At a loss for words? Expecting a brand new baby can do that. Not to worry we\u2019re here to help fill in the gaps. The birth announcement wording that you can include on your birth announcement will vary depending on the tone of voice you\u2019d like the announcement to have and the details you\u2019d like to share. The most important part to remember is this: enjoy the process and don\u2019t overthink it. This is a time for joy and celebration, the last thing we\u2019d want is for you to feel stuck or boxed in. Etiquette exists, sure, but this is your baby — take what you like and leave the rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
