Birth announcements? I'm about 37 weeks pregnant and want to try to make decisions about birth annnouncments ahead while my brain still works to some extent limited. Do you have a recommendation of any particular service or website you used to create birth announcements, which were both affordable and adorable?
I used Bayberry ads for my son birthday invitations, they were cheap and the drawings are not cheezy. There are a lot of cheese there. :) Good luck!
Go to inspireddesignsfaith.etsy. They are really cute and very affordable. It does not print if you want! Flag
I went through Walmart.com. They are somewhat cute and they are cheap ... (Typically of the order $ 0.33 a card based on the service you choose.) You can take your own photos using a digital camera and you can download it online and have made walmart.com ... and from there you can choose to have it shipped to your home (usually 3 days), delivered to the store nearest Walmart and you look up there (also about 3 days), or just print from Walmart and ready in one hour for you to look. We chose to have our loan in one hour and only a few cents cheaper ... and still less than most places online, and less expensive than the price of the hospital "My first pictures"
I like tons of sites, but I went with Walmarts Walmart.On website, you can download the photo, but here are some of the others too:
www.tinyprints.com
www.invitingsmiles.com
www.storkavenue.com
How about walmart.com in their photos section? They had some very cute birth announcements that have been relatively inexpensive.
In fact, I am my friend to do mine. they kind of look like those of this site. http://www.purplestork.com/index.php
It was done with photoshop and we have printed at Costco.
they cost about 16 cents each.
I ordered mine through purplestork.com. They were adorable ... I had compliments from just about everyone on them! They were different from the standard 4 * 8 picture, you can get the target, HP, etc. They were a little more expensive than some of the cheapest places, but I think they were worth every penny!

Congratulations on your pregnancy, I hope you and the baby are healthy.
I do not know where abouts you live, but when my mother gave birth to my little sister, she used a website called Baby Says Hello. They will create custom maps, a web page and guest book for you, and they transfer to the United Kingdom, Europe and the rest of the world. They will also be in line to announce the birth of your baby if you want.
Best wishes to you and your family.

Baby R Us is a great place to do this, you can also send emails to ur friend and its free.
Vista.com is a show perfect for all kinds of paper objects. Send items the easiest possible dissemination (website claims it can take up to six weeks for delivery). I actually save money and still got the points faster than even the site said I would.
Wow, you are proactive. I suggest you contact the hospital and see what the photographer they use for pictures of the newborn. They'll probably have a website and you can start by seeing what their prices are and if they have a package that you'll like. You'll have done for you since you probably want to spend every moment with your newborn.
Best wishes for a quick and healthy and delivery!
