My little forum on baptism invitations
Birth announcements should go to family and close friends and friends of the happy grandparents and to anyone who has already sent a gift to the new parents. At a minimum, you should include the names of the baby and proud parents and siblings (if any) and birth statistics such as length and weight and date of birth on your birth announcements. Etiquette also dictates that birth announcements be sent any time up to six months following birth, so you will have time after your baby arrives to finalize and send them out. You will save yourself a little work, though, if you choose your birth announcements design ahead of time, while you still have the time. The selection process will only add to the excitement and anticipation.
