 Ideas For Baby Announcements

 In the days following the birth of your child, you will have a lot to think about. On top of caring for your child, you will have to deal with sleeping and feeding schedules, and a host of other tasks that would be a challenge to anyone, much more so for sleep-deprived parents!

 Nevertheless, you will have to somehow find the time to put together and send out baby announcements, in order to introduce your baby to your friends and family. You may not be so eager to take on another task such as this, but it is an important part of bringing a child into this world. Here we present you with some ideas on how you can deal with baby announcements.

 Most parents will want to include information about their child’s height and weight on the baby announcement. While you may be a bit reluctant to include such details if your child is very small or very large, keep in mind that it is your friends and family members who will be receiving the baby announcement, so you should have no qualms about sharing this information with them. You will also want to include details on your child’s birth date, time and the place where he or she was born.

 As for whether or not to include the name of your child in the baby announcement, this is something that is left to the parent’s discretion. It may seem that including the name of the child is the obvious thing to do, but there are legitimate reasons for leaving it out of the baby announcement. For instance, some parents may want to announce the baby’s name at the christening ceremony. If that is the case, you may want to include a line stating that you will be announcing your baby’s name at a future occasion, so that the recipients won’t think that you simply forgot to include it. If you do decide to mention the future announcement of the baby’s name in the card, you will of course want to make sure that everyone who receives the card will also receive an invitation to the future event.

 Keep the design of your card light and simple. This is a special occasion after all, and in line with the joyous nature of the event, you will want a card that appropriately mirrors how you feel about your child’s birth.
