Birth Announcements

Yes. With our Graphic Design Services, you can work with a professional designer to update one of our existing templates – colour changes, photo retouching and more.

Yes. As you’re designing in our online studio, you can download a digital proof of your design – for free. This makes it easy to double check your work with someone else as many times as you’d like.

We don’t offer custom samples at this time – but you can order a small batch of 10 baby announcement cards. This is a cost-effective way to see and feel whether the announcement colour, paper and size is exactly what you want. If it is, reordering is quick and easy, and if you want to make any updates, you can edit your baby birth announcement in our online studio. Either way, your order – and satisfaction – is absolutely guaranteed.

We've got you covered. Scroll down to ‘Product Options’ and click ‘Size’. There you'll find design specs and downloadable templates for each size option for your product. Using these guidelines will allow you to gauge how much you'll need to adjust the size of your design for it to fit on the product – and avoid white spaces or gaps. If you have more questions about designing your product, visit our help centre to get in touch with one of our experts.

Your baby announcement should include some basic information about your new arrival — the baby’s full name, birth date, time and location. It’s also customary to include the baby’s weight at birth, their gender and the parents’ names. Including a photo of your newborn (or even a family shot) is a great addition to your announcement.

Typically, the sooner, the better. Traditional etiquette allows for six months to get your baby announcements in the post, though most people tend to send them within two months of the birth date.
