Look at you, super modern mom-to-be! Your nursery is all set, you've washed and put away the baby's layette, the car seat is installed and your hospital bag is packed. Last thing on your list: the birth announcements.
Sure you don't know all of the important information - birth date (don't you wish), weight, etc. - but you can get the ball rolling by picking out the cards if you're going to print them yourself, or choosing the company and style you want if you're going to have them made.
So, to help you on your quest, we're offering our favorite styles of the moment:
Chelsea Paper's Blue (or Pink) Baby Steps cards are beautifully handmade with cut-out footprints and a gossamer bow.
Baby Steps Announcements - $232 for a set of 50 cards, including printing.
Bryn Craven of ABC Design's custom creations feature modern designs that are easy on the wallet. She has a variety of styles to choose from and can work with clients on custom projects as well.

And, of course, there are the perfect, easy, do it from your desktop Photo Birth Announcements available in our Photo Center presented by Snapfish.
