The birth of a baby calls for a birth announcement that is as special as the new bundle of joy. Birth announcements are normally sent to family and friends within a few weeks of the baby's birth. The most popular birth announcements which are custom printed with your baby's photo and information can be purchased at numerous stores all over the web. While these announcements are quite beautiful and are the most common way to spread the news about a birth, you can your baby apart from the crowd by introducing the newborn baby with something unique and different. Here are some great fun and unique ideas that we've found. Most of these items can be purchased on the web or made by you (but with a new baby, it is usually hard enough to find time to just take a shower). 1) Candy Wrapper Announcements from http://www.candywrapperstore.com/ This announcement is as sweet as the new little sweetie that you've added to your family. Birth announcement candy wrappers can normally be personalized with the Baby's Name, Birth date, Length, Weight, Birthplace, Parents Names and Sibling Names. Some companies will also personalize the wrapper with your baby's picture for that extra special "sweet" touch. These baby birth announcements are usually printed out by the company on glossy paper and then mailed directly to you. Normally, you will supply the candy bar so you can pick your favorite flavor such as Hershey's Chocolate with Almonds, Ghirardelli Mint Chocolate, etc. and then wrap each bar in the personalized candy wrapper birth announcement. You can hand these out to friends and family or throw them in the mail for a fun and sweet surprise. 2) Baby Food Jar Announcements from http:www.welcomebaby.com/ You can purchase sets of self-adhesive labels that can be attached to baby food jars or other small jars filled with treats like M&M's, Skittles, Chocolate Mints, etc. The company will print your child's photo (which you supply electronically via e-mail) on the label along with other birth information that you would like to include. These newborn birth announcements are absolutely unique and adorable! 3) Photo Cookie Announcements from http://www.cookiegiftbaskets.com/ You can buy sets of fresh-baked gourmet cookies that have your baby's photo and birth information on the cookie. Each cookie is individually wrapped in cellophane with a bow. What a sweet way to announce the stork's recent delivery! 4) Beer Bottle Announcements from http://www.storkgrams.com/ The perfect announcement choice for those of you who want your friends and family to toast the new arrival. You can choose from several designs of self-adhesive labels that will be custom printed with your baby's birth information. The labels will be sent to you so that you can adhere them to the beer bottles (or any bottle for that matter). 5) Birth Announcement Photo Magnets from http://www.magnetqueen.com/ Photo magnets are the perfect birth keepsake for friends and family. Your baby's birth will be remembered for years to come as these adorable magnets are hanging on the refrigerator or other metal surface. The baby birth magnets are available in various sizes and you can also purchase envelopes for mailing them out to friends and family. You simply supply the photo and birth information so that they can custom print the magnets for you. Spread the word of the new arrival in a way that will stick (literally)! |
