After the baby shower has ended, and you’re waiting to deliver your family’s latest addition, is a good time to begin thinking about whether or not you want to announce the delivery with baby announcements. Baby announcements can let the special people in your life know you and the baby are well and happy. It also gives you the opportunity to show off your new little one.

Not everyone chooses to send baby announcements, but they can be a nice touch. They can also serve as a second thank you note for baby shower gifts. Friends and relatives like to know that the gift they thoughtfully selected is receiving use and is appreciated.

If you have a knack for crafts, and enjoy them, making your own baby announcements can be a rewarding and fun activity. It is possible to work on them while the baby is sleeping. It helps fill the hours, and having a creative task can help stave off feelings of post-partum depression.

For those who prefer not to make their own announcements, there is no shortage of styles to choose from. There are cards that reflect baby’s gender with phrases like “It’s a girl!” or “Welcome to our baby boy!” Some cards are designed as picture holders. Because most hospitals take pictures, and offer packages of large amounts for purchase, a card with a built in picture holder is a good choice.

Of course, there is the option to meld the two. Computer software for home PC, and kiosks at many stores, give you the ability to create personalized baby announcements without a talent for crafts. And, you can always send your loved ones a picture attached to an email.

No matter which method you choose, sending baby announcements can be a fun way to mark this very special occasion.
