Baby Birth Announcement Ideas

A baby birth announcement is a wonderful way to inform your family and friends of your baby’s birth and details.



Your family and friends, especially if they do not live close to you, will be eager to see a picture of your new little bundle of joy so a photo birth baby announcement is a must.

Here are a number of baby birth announcement ideas for you to consider...


Electronic Birth Announcement

Sending an email birth announcement to friends and family is an easy and fast way to announce your baby’s birth to the world. Sending an email means you don’t have to address envelopes, no stamps are required and your friends and family find out the wonderful news quickly. You can also send as many photos of your newborn as you like. The disadvantage of a birth announcement email is that they are disposable and are not a keepsake for you, your baby or for the person who receives them.

Another downside is that some of your family and friends may not have email connection and will miss out. This may particularly be the case for your older relatives and they are often the ones who most treasure receiving the news of a new baby to the family and eager to see a photo of your newborn.

One electronic birth announcement idea is to create an announcement using Smilebox. They have lots of baby designs to choose from including e-cards, slideshows, scrapbooks, photo books and postcards. All you have to do is choose a design that you like, add your photos, videos, words and music and then email to your family and friends. They will be thrilled!


Electronic Birth Announcement Tip
Make a list of all the people you want to share your wonderful news with and have their emails entered and saved in your email address book on your computer before the birth of your baby.


Photo Birth Announcement Cards printed by a Birth Announcement Service

Looking for a cool birth announcement idea?

Baby photo birth announcement cards are a beautiful way to tell your family and friends about your new little member to your family. Ordering birth announcement photo cards online will not only save you a lot of time but they look absolutely gorgeous.

And if you are searching for a beautiful baby birth announcement keepsake, these cards will be a treasured addition to your baby’s keepsake box or baby scrapbook as well.

So where can you order these photo birth announcement cards?

There are a number of custom birth announcement card companies now such as Shutterfly and tiny*prints that provide you with the opportunity to choose a beautifully designed baby birth announcement card and personalize the card with a photo of your new baby.

You will find a large range of baby announcement templates and designs to choose from, including both traditional and modern birth announcement cards. If your baby is due to be born over the Christmas holidays you may like to choose a holiday birth announcement card.

You can also personalize your announcement by selecting from various birth announcement sayings, fonts and colors. You will also be able to find adoption birth announcement and twin birth announcement designs.

Baby birth announcement cards in gender specific colors are popular, with many cards available in blue shades for a baby boy birth announcement and pink for baby girl birth announcement. You can even choose the option of having the birth announcement envelopes posted to you before the birth of your baby so that you can address and stamp them.

You will easily find a baby birth announcement card that you love.


Do It Yourself Birth Announcement on Home Computer

You may like the idea of creating baby birth announcement cards using your home computer and printing the cards on your printer. You could use a birth announcement maker/birth announcement software which provides birth announcement templates to make the job easier.

Another option for creating a unique photo birth announcement is creating your own design and using birth announcement clipart and a photo of your baby. You may also consider searching online for a birth announcement free printable.


Handmade Birth Announcement Card

If you love creating cards and paper craft is a passion, creating your own baby birth announcement cards is a wonderful idea. Nothing looks more beautiful than a handmade birth announcement card.

With the popularity of paper crafts and scrapbooking there are so many beautiful baby scrapbook papers and embellishments to choose from.

Creating birth announcement cards by hand is one of the more time consuming options. Remember that you may not have a lot of time on your hands in the early weeks and months of your baby’s life with feeding, nappy changing and catching up on sleep.

If creating is something you enjoy, you may however find creating your own birth announcement cards by hand a wonderful way to unwind and do something you enjoy when you have time to spare.


Handmade Birth Announcement Tip
Do as much as you can to create your handmade birth announcement cards prior to the birth of your baby. Decide on a design and buy all your supplies such as paper and embellishments. You can then add your baby’s name, details and photo after your baby is born.


Birth Announcement Magnet

Birth announcement magnets are a fantastic idea. When our family receives a baby birth announcement from a friend or family member, I love to pop it under a magnet on our fridge. Receiving an announcement with a magnet already included would be a bonus!

You can be guaranteed that when you send a magnetic birth announcement your family and friends will never lose it.


Birth Announcement Candy Wrapper

A birth announcement candy bar wrapper is a novel and delicious way to announce your baby’s birth.

Candy bar birth announcement companies provide a selection of girl and boy birth announcement candy wrapper designs to choose from.

Your baby’s name, birth date, birth weight and your family details will be printed on the birth announcement candy bars. You are also able to personalize your birth announcement wrappers with a photo of your baby.

Most companies give you the option of ordering only candy wrappers (you can then buy the candy bars from a shop yourself) or ordering both candy bars/ birth announcement chocolate and wrappers together which may be more convenient.

Once you receive the wrappers it is a simple job of gluing or taping the wrappers around the candy bars and sending or giving them to friends and family. Remember to keep a wrapper for your baby’s keepsake box or baby’s first year book. YUM!


Birth Announcement Favor

Looking for a birth announcement favor idea that allows you to include a photo of your baby?

One option is to send a candle with a photo of your baby on the label including your baby’s name and birth details.

Another idea is to send a cookie personalized with an edible photo of your baby.


Birth Announcement Gifts

You might consider sending a baby announcement gift such as a framed photo of your baby to close family members such as your baby’s grandparents.


Newspaper Birth Announcement

Newspaper birth announcements are a traditional baby announcement idea and a great way to inform family and friends that live in your home town. Most newspapers provide you with the option of including a photo of your baby alongside your birth announcement.

A clipping of your baby’s newspaper birth announcement can be included in your baby’s first year scrapbook or baby photo album.

When considering the newspaper birth announcement wording, in addition to including your baby’s name and details you might also include the name of the hospital in which your baby was born and the names of the hospital staff who assisted in the birth of your baby.

Consider sending another type of birth announcement to your family and friends who don’t live close by.


Birth Announcement Stationery

Birth announcement stationery is much more special if it includes a photo of your baby.

Pearhead birth announcement stationery allows you to personalize your announcement with a photo of your baby. There is even a space for your baby’s footprint which is a unique birth announcement idea.

This baby announcement kit includes a special clean touch print pad which means that your baby’s feet never come in contact with ink. A CD-ROM makes it easy for you to fill in your child’s name and birth details. You then print the cards and insert your baby’s photo and footprint into the cards for a beautiful appearance.

Included are ten 5” x 7” cards and envelopes (both are available in blue or pink).


Other Birth Announcement Ideas

Some other baby birth announcement ideas which allow you to include your baby’s photo include:

  • Magazine cover birth announcements
  • Passport birth announcements
  • IPO birth announcements,
  • Drivers license announcements (available for each U.S. state)

It’s birth announcement etiquette to send out your baby’s birth announcements as soon as possible after the birth of your baby. It’s also a good idea to send your announcement before your baby turns 6 months old.
