Having a baby is a life-changing experience but so if finding out that you are expecting. Whether you've been accidentally blessed with good news or you've been trying for a while to conceive, you may be thinking about sending out Pregnancy Announcements so others can share in your amazing news. You will want to coordinate these cards with your Birth Announcements so be thinking about them. However, before you make that decision, here are some issues and tips to consider.
Cost of the Pregnancy Announcement
Before you start getting too excited about mailing out these cards, be sure you've thought about the price. Invitations and photo birth announcements are rarely cheap (at least if you choose ones that are worth sending). Once the baby is born, you'll want to send out a baby announcement, plus you'll have invitations for baby showers and other events along the way. Remember that babies also cost a lot of money to raise so if your budget is already a bit tight, but do not cut back on sending the maternity announcement. You can use other means also such as emails and make phone calls to spread the news even if you can't afford to mail official announcements to everyone.
Timing of the Maternity Announcements
Now if money isn't an issue and you have your heart set on mailing out the announcements to your friends and family members, you should consider waiting a little bit. Pregnant women, especially during the first pregnancy, can sometimes lose the baby even with no warning. You may have all of the pregnancy symptoms and even test positive for carrying a baby but may end up losing the baby early on in its development. For this reason, you should usually wait until you've gotten through at least the 13th week on your pregnancy calendar. After that period is over, if you haven't had any problems you should be in much better shape and can share the news with your family.
Unique Pregnancy Announcements: Ideas
We've all heard of people including photos of their newborn children on their baby announcements so why can't women who are pregnant do something similar? The answer is they can by using an image from one of their ultrasounds. Just like any other photo, the image can be scanned into a computer and duplicated onto the baby girl birth announcements so that when people receive them they can get a preview of this bundle of joy growing inside you.
If you don't like the idea of using your ultrasound pictures, why not have a photograph taken of you and your partner. If you're already showing a little, that's great because it will look great in the images you can use for the photo pregnancy announcements. Plus, you'll always have something you can show your child when he or she grows up. You can point to your blossoming stomach and tell your little one that's where he or she is in the photo. And, you can use an actual picture when you send the photo birth announcements after the birth.
