As everyone in my family knows, I’m a huge fan of making my own birth announcements and party invitations. Sadly, after number four hit the scene, there isn’t as much energy left at the end of the day to put into crafty paper cards. I’ve always used a photo Christmas card inserted into a homemade card, but last year I got lazy and just inserted them into a normal store bought card (if they even got a card at all). Funny how life sneaks up on you! I’ve seen several Photo Birth Announcements that are perfectly cute. My friend even uses them as invitations to special events in her children’s lives. I never thought of that! After spending hours on the cards I made for the baby shower last Sunday, I’m thinking the photo card is the way to go. They cover every event and have cards for every occasion and holiday, and they usually end up tons cheaper than my trips to the craft store for supplies!
