Are you struggling to create the perfect birth announcement? Are having a hard time finding the words to articulate the happiness that comes with welcoming a child into the world? Are you still trying to figure out how to explain that you can just watch your baby sleeping for hours at a time?
Don’t worry! This is all completely natural. Whether it’s the first born or number five, the magic that comes with welcoming that Little One into your family is indeed overwhelming. And it’s something that is very personal- even between a husband and wife, the specific range of feelings you experience can vary greatly and it’s not always easy to share them.
But when it comes to your birthday announcement, my best piece of advice is to keep it simple- make it personal. If your voice is “London’s rockin’ with baby Ozzie”, then go for it! Or maybe you feel more comfortable with “It is with great love and pride that we introduce Elizabeth Jane Taylor”. Just lovely! The trick to a great birth announcement is to make it your own. The photo of your baby will speak for itself, so don’t afraid to add your own voice as well.
