The Design of Your Modern Baby Announcements

Before you can begin customizing your announcements, you must first determine the type of letterpress stationery you want to use. There are several different types to choose from. After you have decided on a style, you can then:

Picture- If you want to display a picture of your new addition, you will have to decide which one will be the best for the announcement. Some announcements will allow you to choose more than one photo.

Ink- Letterpress doesn’t just come in black and white. You will have a variety of ink colors to choose from.

Font- The type of font you use can greatly affect the look of your letterpress announcements. Some are fun and carefree, some are elegant and classic, and others fall somewhere between those two categories. Choose the one that fits you the best.

Motifs- Some announcements allow for enough space for motifs. These are small, cute pictures. If your announcement has this option, pick one that suits you.

Liners- Many announcements will come with envelopes. This makes it easier on new moms who may not have time to search for the right sized envelopes. If your announcements come with envelopes, you may be given the choice of what color you wish the envelope liners to be.

Backer Cards- On the back of your announcements, you will most likely see a backer card, which you will be able to choose the color of. This creates a beautiful accent for the birth announcement.

Other Elements of Your Birth Announcements

Quantity- Choose the number of cards and envelopes you will need.

Return Address- If you want your return address printed with on the envelope, you can choose to enter that information.

Wording- The most difficult part of designing these cards, whether they are baby announcements or letterpress wedding invitations, is determining the wording. There are many different ways to announce the birth of your little one. Choose your own unique way to spread your joy.

When you know what you are doing, creating letterpress birth announcements can be a simple, fun and quick process.
