Out of my head on the topic of announcement cards
While the introduction of numerous technological innovations has undoubtedly changed our lives for the better in many significant ways, it is unfortunate that they have also resulted in many of the traditions of previous generations having become somewhat passe. Such "quaint" and "antiquated" customs such as writing letters seem to have fallen by the wayside in our quest to do things faster and easier, and it seems that no one writes baby announcements anymore. Even so, baby announcements remain viable means of announcing a child's entrance into the world to your friends and loved ones. While there is certainly something to be said about the convenience of relatively recent innovations such as e mail, instant messaging, text messaging, and social networking websites, and their ability to help people connect in numerous and new and more efficient ways, sending out baby announcements is a tradition that is still a viable means of spreading the word about such a momentous occasion. And you do have to admit that sending out your baby announcements via e mail or text messaging is hardly sufficient or appropriate for such a life changing event.
