As a mother of six, yes, I said six, I know how busy we new mothers are as soon as we bring that baby home from the hospital. Days, and often nights, can run together with new baby care.

Now, you don’t have to wait. Order your birth announcements up to 30 days prior to your anticipated due date (don’t worry if your little one decides to put things off a bit – we understand!) and spend your “babymoon” enjoying your little one, not shopping for announcements and addressing envelopes!

Simply fill out the verse as best you can, leaving any unknown’s with simple place holders. See the example below for using placeholders. In the notes section, simply type “Preorder”. We’ll take it from there!

We’ll send your envelopes right out so you can take your time and address them while you patiently await baby’s arrival.

As soon as he or she joins your family, send us a simple email with the missing facts. We’ll get a revised preview right over to you to approve. In no time at all, your announcements will be at your doorstep, ready to slip in to the envelopes you’ve already prepared.

Here’s how to fill out your verse on the order form (don’t worry, if you change your mind about the wording we can change it when you email in your final info).

Our families rejoice —
a new life’s begun!
Our circle is richer
with the birth of this one

Joe and Mary Doe

After baby’s arrival, simply email us, please include your order confirmation number in the subject line) with either the entire verse OR, more simply, just the placeholders as such:

What’s the cost? If your order subtotal is $150 or more (not including sales tax or shipping) there is no additional charge. If your order subtotal is less than $150, there is a $7.50 charge for separate shipping of the envelopes. This charge will be added to your invoice manually and will not display on the checkout page. You will be billed for the envelopes (and their printing/shipping if applicable) at the time they are sent. The remainder will be billed when the announcements print and ship.
