Although there are no hard and fast rules, here’s some basic suggestions for minimum ideas:

* Full name of Baby
* Baby date of birth
* Time of Baby birth
* Weight and Length of Baby
* Boy Baby or Girl Baby

Traditionally, the baby birth announcements “ANNOUNCES” the baby by the parents. Something like “Mary and John Smith are happy to announce the birth of their baby girl…” is stated at the top of the birth announcement. However, traditions are changing and the rules are much more flexible now. Siblings of the baby can now announce the birth, as well as pets of the family or even grandparents! Including those people (and pets!) can make for a fun, touching unique birth announcements. Parents may even want to consider including a sibling, pet or other family members in the picture for a photo birth announcements. The baby announcement is all about the new baby, but other important people in the baby’s life can be included.

As parents search for their baby announcements in stores or online, they might come across the perfect saying since many places offer online birth announcements wording ideas, verses and sayings.

Some parents send birth announcements with just the necessary announcement wordings. This can also be beautiful, especially with a beautiful image or photo birth announcements. There are lots of unique wording ideas, verses and sayings for birth announcements cards.

While parents are not obligated to send a picture of the baby, sending photo birth announcements has become very popular. Photo birth announcements can be worth “a thousand words.” After all, family and friends want to be able to look at the picture on the new baby and try to figure out who the baby looks like! For that reason, only include pictures that show the baby clearly; the photo should be a close up of the baby’s features. Natural, candid photos are usually used. If parents are taking their own, they might want to consider softening the focus for the photo birth announcement with photo imaging software or ordering your personalized photo birth announcements from a professional birth announcements company online.

Oh, and finally, there is not need for parents to sign or have any handwritten note on baby announcements. The recipients understand parents are strapped for time! If parents do want to write a personal note to any recipients they should use separate stationary because the recipient might want to display the birth announcement!
