I am expecting in April and I have been looking on etsy and google for some kind of clipart or card to design to announce my pregnancy.
I want a bird with a saying Tweet! Tweet! and the rest of it will say In April, ? and ? will have someone for you to meet.
Maybe 2 birds and an egg or something like that. Any suggestions? I'm not that crafty, but Im trying.
Thanks
Re: Bird Baby Announcement
I say this with nothing but the best hopes for you to have a healthy & uneventful pregnancy.
why would you need to announce your pregnancy? Maybe it's just me, but it seems really, really gift-grabby & impersonal. Like, 'Hey! I care enough about you to want you to send me a gift, BUT not enough to pick up the phone and have a conversation with you - or to even send you a semi-personal e-mail.'
again, just my opinion.
if you want to buy instead of DIY, Graham Cracker Designs is a great seller over on etsy. She'll work with you to get the announcement just you want.
I agree with pp. I would feel very confused and awkward to get a pregnancy announcement in the mail.
I like the baby bird theme for a BIRTH announcement, like a pic of the lo in a 'nest' or something.
Congrats! Hope your pregnancy is healthy and drama free, and your little one is healthy and happy! All the best!
Click me, click me!
It's still tacky.
I stand by my original post.
aunts/uncles/cousins will hear through the family grapevine if you don't contact them directly and, personally, if I were your "very close friend" I'd be pieced that you couldn't have told me in personally (face-to-face, via phone or as I stated above, a NON-FORM/NOT CC'd or BCC'd e-mail).
