For the love of announcement cards
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. Birth announcements etiquette also dictates that they be sent any time up to six months after the birth, so you will have time after the baby arrives to finalize and send them out. You will save yourself some stress, though, if you select your birth announcements design before the birth, while you still have some time to yourself. Choosing your design will only add to the excitement and anticipation. You can either choose and purchase blank birth announcements prior to the birth and finalize them after the baby is born or choose your design beforehand and wait to finalize them online after the birth.
