Birth announcements

A birth announcement is a couple’s way of informing their friends, family, and whomever else about baby being born. Birth announcements are totally optional, and their popularity has declined in recent years with the rise of social media, but they can still be a fun way of saying “hello world - here comes Baby!”

Ways to announce Baby’s arrival

  • Keep it classic: Many couples who choose to make birth announcements will stick with the classic - good, old-fashioned letters. Sending out fun postcards is an excellently creative way to announce your pregnancy.
  • Social Media: Whether Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, or some other social networking site, your online community is a great place to announce Baby’s birth - get ready for the most ‘likes’ ever!
  • Make a video: Making a birth announcement video that you email to your friends could be a really fun way to document Baby’s early life, and spread the good news.
