Welcome Baby in Style!

One of my favorite parts of my job is designing birth announcements. What’s not to like? I get to stare at pictures of gorgeous babies and create an announcement that fits their little personalities—it’s pretty simple to enjoy! I recently took a spin around my go-to stationery websites to gather up a few of my favorite designs to share with you—all are great ideas on how to welcome your new arrival in style.

When it comes to welcoming a sweet baby boy, I instantly think of cool blues and crisp greens. I love the photo collage of this announcement from Tiny Prints—it allows you to share all of the tiny details of your baby with friends and family. The “new sprout” announcement has a bit of a modern twist to it and could be used for a boy or a girl.

If a beautiful little girl is entering your life, these sweet announcements might be for you. The pink and orange damask is one of my all-time favorites, and I love the clean lines of the rattles on this announcement from Minted. The heart announcement is the perfect blend of sweet and modern in my opinion, perfect for the new love of your life.

If you are lucky enough to be welcoming two little bundles of joy, check out these darling announcements. Crisp with a darling banner design, or clean white—you can’t go wrong when the focus is on their sweet picture!

You all know I’m a sucker for a modern pattern—so throw in a chevron, greek key or updated plaid, and I’m sold! This chevron announcement comes in multiple color ways, so you could welcome a boy or a girl with it. The plaid announcement, sweet, yet fresh-looking, is perfect for a summer baby. The last announcement, featuring three pictures, is actually one I designed for Project Nursery Co-Founder Melisa’s sweet baby boy, Chase, when he was born, and it is still one of my favorites!

    I love the plaid design. The “new sprout” design is also cute. I always design my own birth announcements and it’s really a lot of fun.

    They all are indeed stylish but also so cute and heartwarming. I really have a difficult time picking one. Perhaps the ‘Hello!’ announcement is the one I’d like to use because of the whimsical text. It puts a smile on my face and I’m almost ready to respond “Nice to meet you too” :D

    Birth announcements are a way to show off your new bundle of joy! So get a design that would really highlight your cute baby.
