How do I get started creating my own personalized Birth Announcements? Open a gallery above and pick your look and size Pick which photos you want to include on the front and back Pick what you want your card to say   We will create your card based on your input.  If the draft isn't perfect then we will happily change any details you like until the card is exactly what you want.  There is never an obligation to purchase anything. Our press printed cards are top quality in every way.  It is common to add a high gloss UV protective coating to the front or outside of the card just as done on commercial post cards.  If you really want a fancy look you can upgrade to Pearl, Watercolor, or Linen art paper.  Press printed cards come with parchment envelopes.   Do I need to schedule a photo shoot? The quality of your pictures is the greatest factor in the quality of your cards.  Almost all of our baby announcement customers schedule a newborn photo shoot with us to create these beautiful images.  However, we are also happy to create your baby announcement or other cards using one or more photographs that you send us.   Prices for our press printed cards are listed near the bottom of our a la carte menu:
