Pregnancy is a long and sometimes bumpy road. Add in the actual birthing experience plus settling in at home with a newborn and one of your happiest moments in life can also be very overwhelming. Don’t let announcing to the world that your sweet baby has arrived be a source of stress too. Make it easy and do it in style with Minted? They recently added a fresh crop of baby birth announcements designed by professionals from around the globe that range from spirited to classic to whimsical.
Whenever I search for custom printed cards, Minted is always at the top of my list. They stay ahead of the curve when it comes to stylish design options and the quality is truly the best around. Although it is sure hard to pick, here are a few of the new designs that caught my eye. Oh, and don’t forget your skinny wrap. Worth the splurge because it saves time during the stuffing process and adds that extra chic touch.
