Baby Announcements - How Creative

One of my friends created darling “we’re expecting” cards with a picture of her two-year-old son holding two pregnancy test sticks and wearing a t-shirt that says “Big Brother.” Another friend sent an announcement card with a close-up picture of her baby’s first heartbeat scan. What have you seen—or created—in the way of creative baby announcements? Tell us. 

The giveaway ended June 17th, but you can still add your story to this chit chat. Look for more giveaways soon and stand by for an announcement about our winner.

I made these great collages for my kids. I used pictures of all their friends, then had them framed. Very cool!

My friend took images of her great grandmother, her grandma, her mom and herself and created a kind of montage image as a backdrop for her new baby girl's pic. It was gorgeous.

I found an amazing site, www.babyshere.com, that makes custom birth announcements. I'm not sure if they offer gift cards, but they would make great gifts for new parents.

As a graphic designer I didn't want to miss the opportunity to design something beautiful to let my friends know about my child's arrival...Well, after his birth I didn't have the time and/or energy to sit in front of the computer to create something. It took me 12 months to finally do it! ...and I designed a beautiful postcard letting all our friends know that little Ollie was turning 1 ;-)

I have always loved when an expecting mother does a black and white photo shoot. Its such a beautiful moment to be captured.

I believe we have the same friend! I also loved her next one, which was a combined Christmas card/We're Expecting card. It had a sepia photo of Harry standing in the rolling green hills of England and under that was a separate ultrasound photo of Elsie (born just a few weeks ago) printed on translucent paper. She's so creative!
