There are two options for scheduling the process of sending birth announcements. The first is to wait until after baby arrives. With this choice, traditional etiquette says that it is perfectly okay to send announcements up to six months after the baby is born. Many parents choose this option so that they can include photographs of the newborn and all the details, such as the date, time, baby’s weight and length and of course, the name. The difficulty with waiting is that babies need much more time and attention than anyone can imagine, and it may be stressful to try to deal with announcements during the first few months after the birth.

The second choice is to start the announcements during the pregnancy. Of course, the details will not be available, but parents can take time to select their favorite designs. The people who should receive announcements can be added to a list, and this is easier to do before the birth than after. It’s also a time when envelopes might be addressed and postage stamps added.

The arrival of a sweet baby girl often has many parents suddenly adoring pink. They may find themselves drawn to this traditional color, and nothing else will do. Others feel bold, select bright colors, and decide that colorful photography or seasonal touches are best. A modern floral design, with delicate flowers paired with baby’s first photographs is a popular choice. Another idea is to create a photo collage surrounding the all-important details. Chalked frames or rustic wood with burlap can surround baby’s photo with country charm.
