Consider Photographs
Under normal circumstances, photo birth announcements that include a picture are a great idea. Around the holidays, they can be an even better idea. For example, if you're going to be sending Christmas Birth Announcements, consider photographing you new baby wearing a Santa hat. You can usually find small ones around the holidays for babies. You could also dress your newborn in a special outfit purchased for the Christmas season or in front of the Christmas tree. These would be adorable shots of your new child and would make even the most jaded holiday Scrooge smile.
Tips on What to Include
Baby Announcements, whether around the holidays or not, should include some basic information. Most of the holiday baby announcements will include the same standard details: the date of the child's birth, possibly the baby's height and weight, the time of birth, and maybe the location of the delivery. Both parents' names are usually listed on the announcement as well.
You can also choose to include a holiday poem, Christmas or Bible quotes, or any other content you would feel would be relevant for these announcements. You should not include any type of gift registry information when you are sending girl birth announcements or boy birth announcements. That would be considered inappropriate, especially around the holidays.
Safety & the Baby
Depending on where you live, the winter weather can be dangerous for infants. You want to take steps to ensure his or her safety, and the rest of your family needs to respect that. You may need to change some of your normal holiday plans. Instead of visiting everyone's home for the holidays, invite them to drop by your house and visit with the new baby.
When you send the Holiday Birth Announcements, you might even want to mention this to your family so they can make their own plans. You could also send separate holiday invitations for this purpose at a slightly later date. Remember to give your friends and family enough time to change plans.
Even if you're in a place with great winter weather, you may still want to avoid traveling too much over the holidays with a newborn. Not only will the new mother fill a bit under the weather still but babies need plenty of sleep and don't like to have their lives disrupted too much. Going to a number of different locations or having so many people handle the baby in such a short time may not make for a happy baby.
If you do decide to invite your family to your home on those holiday birth announcements, consider making the environment more festive. Have some simple snack foods and beverages on hand so you can entertain them. Just because you've had an addition to your family that doesn't give you an excuse to be a bad host.
