WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR BABY ANNOUNCEMENT CARDS
Most baby birth announcements include the newborn’s name, birthday, weight, and length. Some parents also choose to include their baby’s gender, their own names, and the names of any siblings (pet siblings count too!). Minted’s birth announcement designs help you maximize the space on the front of your card to show off a beautiful photo of your baby and reserve the space on the back for any personal message.
WHOM TO SEND THE BABY ANNOUNCEMENT CARDS
It is a common birth announcement etiquette to send messages to close family and friends, as well as to anyone who was invited to your baby shower. Some parents choose to make their list of recipients much broader than that, or to combine their baby announcements with their holiday cards, announcing their new arrival along with a longer message about the story of their year.
WHEN TO SEND THE NEWBORN ANNOUNCEMENT
While some parents opt for a newborn photoshoot within the first month, most parents don’t take baby photos until a month or two after birth, and many parents take up to six months to get their baby announcements in the mail.
Birth Announcement Frequently Asked Questions
- WHAT INFORMATION SHOULD YOU INCLUDE ON YOUR BABY ANNOUNCEMENT?
We recommend including your newborn’s name, birthday, weight, and length. You may also add details such as your baby’s gender, the names of the parents and siblings (or pet siblings!), and a personal message. Our layouts reserve a beautiful space for your baby’s photo on the front, with a dedicated area for your heartfelt message on the back. - WHO SHOULD RECEIVE YOUR BABY ANNOUNCEMENT?
Traditionally, birth announcements are sent to close family and friends, as well as guests from your baby shower. Many parents also choose to include extended family or even integrate the announcement with their holiday mailings. We suggest reviewing your recipient list to best celebrate your special moment. - WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SEND YOUR BABY ANNOUNCEMENT?
