Adorable Announcements Fit For Baby

Your newborn is so stinkin' cute you could scream, but you'll probably have to settle for a mailed announcement instead. Look on the bright side - it's loads more efficient and with all of the adorable and affordable options, it's a no brainer.

Trusted oldies like Tiny Prints are still making a variety of fab prints though they've got competition with new houses churning out precious patterns for wee ones. Check all of them out in the gallery below.

Lil Find: CD Birth Announcements

babysugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 12:19:49 -0700

Looking for a unique way to announce the birth of your lil one? Take up a tune with Ringo Baby, the custom announcement company.

In addition to the traditional announcements that stay-at-home mom Karen Ringo designs, custom CD cards can be created to announce your baby's birth with your favorite music.

To get the details, read more.

Any of the designs can be adapted into the CD card. They include the baby's birth statistics, photos and your chosen wording on the outside, or cover, of the announcement, while the inside includes liner notes (your chosen playlist) and a circular hub to secure the CD.

Orders include coordinating stickers to be placed on the CDs. So while Ringo Baby is printing your cards and labels, you are busy burning the CDs with your playlist, be it John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy" or John Mayer's "Daughters."

In terms of mailing the announcements, don't fear. The CDs are 5x5 and weigh just under an ounce, so they mail in square envelopes that only require standard postage.

Trendtotting: Hip Baby Announcements

babysugar — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 11:01:03 -0800

I love sweet, traditional baby announcements and lord knows there's a huge selection to choose from, but recently it seems that parents want to stray from the norm. Names are unique, nurseries are designed to the nines, and even baby announcements are taking a different angle.

Rattle-N-Roll makes funky birth announcements that resemble concert posters. Once you decide which of the five designs you would like, you upload your photo and all the information you want to include on the announcement. Then Rattle-N-Roll creates the image of your babe, puts it on the poster you chose, adds the birth stats, and ta da! Your groovy birth announcements are in the mail.

Beyond birth announcements, Rattle-N-Roll can personalize posters for any event -a birthday party, graduation, or wedding. Packages start at $200.

How Did You Announce Baby?

LilSugar — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 05:00:14 -0800

Technology is changing the way we communicate - just ask the guy who wrote the book behind the movie He's Just Not That Into You, Greg Behrendt. From weekly emails to grandma and gramps, iChat check-ins to full blown family websites, keeping in touch has never been easier. While I welcome the changes, I fear some techie tools and services overshadow some of my favorite formal traditions like beautiful printed birth announcements and the, "Yay! The baby was born!" call from daddy. How did you announce the birth of your bundle to your friends and family?
