When your new baby comes into your life, you want to shout the good news from the highest rooftop. You want everyone to know about your lil bundle of joy and share in your wonderful blessing. However, shouting from the top of your roof is a little impractical, so the more practical way is to send custom birth announcements to let your friends and family know that your lil one has arrived. In earlier days, fathers would give cigars to commemorate the birth of their baby, but today parents have numerous ways to announce that their family has grown.

We hear and read so much about birth announcement cards, but exactly what is a birth announcement card? Regardless of how simple or creative they are, birth announcements are how parents share birth information about their new babies. Most birth announcements include the same general information, such as:

• Baby's Name
• Date of Birth
• Weight, Length and Other Vital Stats on the Baby
• Names of the Parents
• Names of Siblings
• Description of the Baby
• Special Verses or Poems

You should begin planning your birth announcements as soon as possible so you can mail them in a timely manner after the baby is born. If you are going to design and personalize your own birth announcements, you will want to do as much of the creating before the birth as possible, since you won't have a lot of free time during the first few weeks after your baby is born. If you are not sure of your baby's gender, you can send gender-neutral birth announcements. Obviously, you won't know much of the pertinent information yet, but you can fill in the baby's name if that has been decided, along with your own names.
