Baby Photo Announcement

Everyone wants to announce the arrival of their new baby in a memorable and distinctive way.

The latest trend is to send baby photo announcements, which include one or several photos of the baby. There are several different types of these baby photo announcements, each of them unique in their own way.

One of the first types used, and is still very commonly used, is to simply include a printed 3x5 photo with a store bought card, hospital provided card or handmade card including the baby’s birth information.

People generally like these because they can keep the photo itself without having to necessarily keep the announcement. Because of the desire to keep a photo, the announcement and photo combination have evolved into companies offering baby photo announcements that include the baby’s photo and birth information imprinted on the card itself, making the card more custom and personal.

Companies have gotten more creative and are now even offering an option of including several different photos and the birth information arranged and printed on one 3x5 or 4x6 photo.

Creativity has no limits with these announcements, as families are now opting to include photos of the entire family, the new baby with older siblings, as well as photos of the baby’s tiny hands and feet. The family’s personal style can come through with these types of baby photo announcements, as there are now several companies offering hundreds of different layouts and color schemes to choose from. Aside from being beautiful, this type of baby photo announcement is very practical, as it meets the desire of wanting to keep a photo but not necessarily a card.

Not only are these baby photo announcements being used to announce the birth of a baby, but are also more recently being used for adoption announcements.

The idea still remains the same, but instead of birth information, the announcement includes the child’s name, the parents’ names, and when the child joined the family. The photo compilation option is very popular for this type of announcement, as they cater more to the family looking for something a little more untraditional.

Whatever style is chosen, baby photo announcements are definitely becoming more and more common and do not seem to be going away. Announcing the birth of a child or the welcoming of a child through adoption has never been more personal than now with the many baby photo announcement options available to new parents.
