Why send Birth Announcements?

The birth of a baby is a celebrated event. A birth announcement sent to your friends and family is a simple way to involve them in the celebration and show off your little bundle of joy. Birth announcements are considered a gracious gesture, are extremely affordable and make a wonderful keepsake.

When should I send my Birth Announcements?

Typically birth announcements are sent within a month of when your baby is born. To be prepared to do this, pick your favorite design, and play around with the elements using the Design Studio until it fits what you want. Save your work to finish after the baby comes. Order your envelopes ahead of time and get them addressed, stamped and all ready to go. And then, when the blessed day arrives, all you or someone else needs to do is place the order.

If you aren't able to send your birth announcements right away, your family and friends will understand and will still love receiving one even up to six months after the birth.

If time slips away from you as it sometimes does with a new baby in the house and you miss the six month mark, consider sending first birthday announcements, baptism announcements, or a holiday card in place of birth announcements.

What are the best options for Birth Announcements?

MagnetStreet Baby offers a wide variety of designs and sizes for both magnetic birth announcements and linen birth announcements.

The choice is really yours! MagnetStreet Baby is proud to offer magnetic announcements as the modern alternative to traditional paper cards. These magnetic announcements are so popular because your friends and family won't need to find a magnet to hold it to the fridge...it IS a magnet! Magnets are a great way to make one of the biggest announcements of your life!

What should I put on my Baby Announcements?

Clearly the most important detail is the name you have chosen for your child! The other most common imprints are date and time of birth, and the baby's height and weight. Other details you might include are the names of parents, siblings, or even grandparents. Many designs incorporate a photo as well. Bible verses or short poems can also add a nice personalized introduction on your baby announcement. The possibilities are endless!
