When Should I Send Birth Announcements?
It’s not uncommon for a couple of weeks to pass after having a baby before new parents remember to send out birth announcements. Don’t worry! Your friends and family understand that life has suddenly gotten very busy for you. The grace period for sending birth announcements is about six months.
To speed up the process, spend some time during the final weeks of your pregnancy to gather the names and addresses of everyone you’d like to receive an announcement. Think of your family, friends and co-workers. How about sending one to your hairstylist or personal trainer? You may also want to schedule an appointment to browse through my design books. It may be too soon to place an order, but it’s never to early to start getting ideas. If you can narrow down your choices to your favorite two or three, the next time you come in — with your baby! — finalizing the details of the birth announcement won’t take very long.
