I really like the looks of these Trifold Baby Announcements by In A Baby Carriage. This design is Sweet Baby-Boy. Each trifold announcement measures 5″ x 5″ 3 panel folding cardstock, and comes with envelopes. I like the antique look of this design as well. You can view all of the beautiful announcements available at InABabyCarriage.com, where these tri-fold announcements sell for prices starting at $95 for the first 25 announcements.

I really like these Baby Announcements featuring baby’s Zodiac sign. Custom made by Simply Put by Ashley Woodman, each announcement features a baby version of the Zodiac sign, with baby’s name, birth weight and length, and parent’s names. They come with matching blank envelopes. These announcements are so colorful and eye-catching, yet still elegant and simple at the same time. You can view them at SimplyPutByAshleyWoodman.com, where they start at $125 for the first 50 announcements. Each online order comes with a complimentary proof and free ground shipping.

I come across a lot of different birth announcements while writing for the blog. I have to admit that after a while, they all start to look the same, so much so that I dread looking at them at times. So, when I see something that looks fresh and fun, I am always quite pleased. Such is the case with these sweet announcements from Kite Notes. There are many to choose from, and they have a unique aesthetic. You provide the photos and birth information, pick the style, and Kite Notes does the rest. This Star Tree design retails for $2.85 each and can be ordered in increments of 25, with a minimum order of 50. While I’ve never needed quite so many announcements, many people do. You can shop the entire collection at kitenotes.com.

If you’re in the market for pregnancy announcements, the folks at hipandlittle.com have designed this one, complete with cute polka-dots and a tell-tale double-line test illustration.

I like the fun font used for “Guess What!” and the random, but not overdone, polka dots. A down side to these particular cards is that they are made without the option of professionally printed details, with the only option being to add your own dates and pictures inside.

For $22, that’s not unheard of but a little simplistic for something featured in American Baby Magazine. Most internet shoppers expect more from specialty boutiques. If you’ve got nice handwriting, get 12 of these cards with 12 envelopes at a fair price for your big announcement!
