From decorating the nursery and late-night cravings to baby shower invitations and thank you cards galore, you have just overcome a nine-month feat worthy of a crown. What better way to celebrate than with a custom baby announcement that your friends and family can cherish as a keepsake.<\/p>\n<p>Much like your first trimester, creating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/cards-stationery\/baby-announcements?esch=1\">baby announcements<\/a> or may seem overwhelming. When is the best time to send them? What information should you include? Do you need to hire a professional photographer for newborns? We outline everything you need to know, and then some. Take a breathe, and focus on the most exciting part of creating your baby cards\u2014announcing that you had a baby!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#How To Make A Baby Announcement\">How To Make A Baby Announcement<\/a> | <a href=\"#Baby Announcement Quotes\">Baby Announcement Quotes<\/a> | <a href=\"#When To Make Announcement\">When To Make Announcement<\/a> | <a href=\"#Announcement Ideas\">Announcement Ideas<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"How To Make A Baby Announcement\"><\/a>How To Make A Baby Announcement<\/h2>\n<p>Birth announcements are the perfect memento to share all of the sentimental details about your new baby with your loved ones. They can save it for years in a photo book full of memories or tack it on the refrigerator as a daily reminder. Best of all, you will be able to focus your time on your newborn instead of answering countless calls, emails, and texts asking the same questions.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>There are so many ways to create personalized baby cards, and not one is right or wrong. We\u2019ve outlined best practices and useful tips for creating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/cards-stationery\/birth-announcements\">DIY birth announcements<\/a> so you can leave the guesswork to your first swaddle. If you&#8217;re announcing a pregnancy, consider sending loved ones a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/designs\/pregnancy-announcement-cards\">personalized pregnancy announcement card<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Gather Your Details<\/h3>\n<p>First thing\u2019s first, decide what information you want to share in your announcement. Some details to include could be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduction\u2014add a cute rhyme or baby quote that fits your theme.<\/li>\n<li>Baby\u2019s Full Name<\/li>\n<li>Baby\u2019s Birth Date<\/li>\n<li>Baby&#8217;s Weight and Length<\/li>\n<li>Family Names\u2014include parents, siblings, or grandparents.<\/li>\n<li>Birth Location<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What you include on your announcements might encourage ideas for personalized gifts down the line, so double-check everything for accuracy before sending off the final product.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Choose Your Design And Theme<\/h3>\n<p>Baby announcement cards can be cute, sentimental, eccentric, and everything in between. Before you start creating the design, detail what the card\u2019s orientation, size, paper, and trim will look like.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Orientation<\/strong>: Landscape, portrait, or square<\/li>\n<li><strong>Size<\/strong>: 3&#215;5, 4&#215;8, 5&#215;5, 5&#215;7, or 6&#215;8<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paper<\/strong>: Smooth cardstock or pearl shimmer cardstock<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trim<\/strong>: Regular corners, rounded corners, bracket corners, scalloped corners, or ticket corners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the personality of your new baby is already shining through, why not emulate that in your announcement cards? If you\u2019re getting the jump while you still have your bun in the oven, consider using the same theme as your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/designs\/pregnancy-announcement-cards\">pregnancy announcement cards<\/a>. Or, if your due date is around the holidays you could create a festive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/cards-stationery\/christmas-birth-announcements\">Christmas baby announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Upload Your Photos<\/h3>\n<p>Have a photoshoot with your new pride and joy and highlight their best features! Whether you use one photo for your announcement or a few, you can always use the rest for baby photo books. When taking the announcement photos, keep the size and orientation of the card in mind so everything will flow properly.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Send Your Announcements Off<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no requirement on who you have to send your birth announcements to. Pull the addresses from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/cards-stationery\/baby-shower-invitations\">baby shower invites<\/a> or just make a list of your close-knit family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to send cards to a substantial list, but have budget constraints to consider, you could send physical cards to your immediate circle and an electronic version to everyone else.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"Baby Announcement Quotes\"><\/a>Baby Announcement Quotes<\/h2>\n<p>Nothing says welcoming baby quite like a fun quote.

Think outside the box when it comes to an NYE themed announcement, add some bubbles or even a starry night sky to the background for a fun and celebratory card.<\/p>\n<h3>Include Your Pet<\/h3>\n<p>Your fur baby might have to share the spotlight with his younger brother or sister, so you might want to show Fido a little bit of extra love in the announcement. Who can resist a baby and a puppy? A paw-sitive smash hit.<\/p>\n<h3>Second Baby<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re a seasoned pro and this is your second birth, consider including the older sibling in the baby announcement. Add a fun tag line like \u201cour family is growing by two feet\u201d and your new family is sure to be picture perfect.<\/p>\n<h3>Unique Baby Announcement<\/h3>\n<p>Your newborn is out of this world and your announcements should follow suit. Add some rocket ships launching into the new chapter, or a few planets to show that your baby boy or baby girl is your world.<\/p>\n<h3>Funny Birth Announcement<\/h3>\n<p>Add a fun play on words to your introduction for an unexpected laugh from your recipients. \u201cPlayer 3 has entered the game\u201d is a great way to incorporate a hobby with your new parental duties.<\/p>\n<h3>Sibling Pregnancy Announcement<\/h3>\n<p>Sharing that your oldest child is going to be a big brother or sister is a great way to help him or her feel a sense of responsibility and accomplishment before the inevitable bickering begins in a few years.<\/p>\n<h3>Christmas Baby Announcement<\/h3>\n<p>Spread joy to the world with an announcement card that\u2019s on theme for the holidays. Add some festive snowflakes or create a design around the \u2018greatest gift\u2019 to warm the hearts of all your recipients.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Whatever design you choose, your little one is sure to be the star of the show. Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/cards-stationery\/birth-announcements\">birth announcements<\/a> don\u2019t have to be a chore with the right planning and design.
