Birth Announcement Etiquette Tips
Keep the tone true to you
There is no single right way to announce a birth. If your family is goofy, be goofy. If you are more formal, go classic. The best announcement sounds like it comes from you.
Proofread the details
Double-check the baby's name spelling, birth date, weight, and length before sending. These are details that will be saved and looked back on for years.
Include a photo if you can
A photo makes the announcement feel personal and special. Hospital photos, professional newborn shots, or even a simple phone photo all work beautifully.
Send to your full list
Include grandparents, aunts, uncles, close friends, and anyone who has been following along on your journey. Better to send too many than to leave someone out.
