Frequently Asked Questions
What is a printed birth announcement?
A birth announcement shares news of a new arrival with family and friends. A printed photo card can also become a keepsake.
Which details belong on a birth announcement?
Include your baby's name and birth date, and add a baby or family photo if you like. Birth time, weight and length are optional. Share only the information your family is comfortable sending.
When should I send birth announcements?
Send them when your family is ready. Mailing within the first six months is common. Choosing a layout in advance can make it easier to add the final photo and details later.
How should I plan printing and delivery?
We offer fast turnaround. Allow time for artwork, proof approval, printing and shipping, and ask us to confirm the available production and delivery options for your stock, quantity and destination. Ask about rush printing and expedited shipping when planning a time-sensitive event. Holiday demand can affect availability.
Birth Announcements Made Personal
Turn a baby or family photo into a keepsake announcing your new arrival. Leave room for a name and a few meaningful details, with as much or as little personal information as you want to share.
Paper, Size and Finishing Details
Pick your size before laying out the artwork. Compare glossy, uncoated, matte, linen and pearl surfaces; choose an uncoated writing area when you want to add a personal note. Flat postcards also offer layered stocks with colored cores.
Use the gallery as a starting point for your own design. Coordinate cards with separately ordered envelopes and address labels. Upload finished print files through the product order flow, or ask our designers to prepare a proof.
