Being a parent-to-be is a gift from heaven. Having a baby is even more wonderful. That's why birth is such a special event. It's celebrated in cultures and traditions the world over. You can celebrate it in every possible way, and why not announce the news with a special birth announcement.
Birth announcements are a way for parents to announce the arrival of their baby to their loved ones. Normally, they should already know, thanks to the Internet and social networks. Word-of-mouth also helps spread the news widely and smoothly. But the announcement is more official, more solemn and, above all, more classy. It's an old tradition that we think is just beautiful.
The aim is simply to say that everything has gone well and that the guest has arrived on earth. You're reminding them that they're healthy, handsome and cute... In short, you're echoing the arrival of your baby, this magnificent being you've been waiting for for so long. You can do this by sending a postcard. What could be more original and simple? Alternatively, you can order or create bookmarks, booklets, illustrated photos and more.
The announcement for the arrival of a baby is a birth announcement. It's the best way to say that you've received an exceptional gift of life. You tell everyone that your child has been born. You can show your gratitude by participating in the birth kitty inside. Your address is often included so that people can come and say hello to you and the newborn.
But when do you send a birth announcement? Not immediately after the birth, certainly not even a year later. It's important to let the parents enjoy having the baby to themselves for the first few weeks. Some do it a day or two later, others wait a week or a month. Still others wait several months. However, the acceptable limit is 3 months.
Why 6 months? Some say he's not so much a "baby" anymore, because by then he's all grown up. The first cries are coming, the first words and the first signs of socialization. Whatever the reason, we all know we shouldn't wait too long either. Others wait 6 months because they're less in a rush and are finally ready to share...
The content of a birth announcement is just as important as its message. Sometimes it takes the form of a little birth book, if not an extract. This is the best way to present it. It must contain certain information:
You don't have to include a photo of your child. Yes, you can keep your loved ones in suspense until the end, to encourage them to visit you. But you also have the right to leave it off, to preserve your privacy and your family. In fact, you can limit yourself to descriptions. But it must always be beautiful.
