It’s a Girl! And It’s a BIG One!
I have received a few Birth Announcements recently, which I plan to place in my album, as they are all family or from other people we are close to. I am impressed over the creativity of design. Announcements are looking pretty funky these days.
When it was my time to be on the front of an announcement, apparently, you picked pink or blue, and teddy bear or duckling. The color was an easy choice, as with the color, the associated gender was already printed. The teddy bear versus duckling choice was often to much pressure for people. Things really got thrown out of whack when gender neutral yellow was introduced, for parents who wanted to buy their cards ahead of time.
Wouldn’t it be fun to order birth announcements when you adopted a pet? Pets are family members, and more and more people consider them their “children.” It would be both a special way to let family and friends know how important welcoming a four legged family member is to you, and to spread a smile to your loved ones. In fact, someone I knew put balloons on their mailbox when they adopted their puppy. Sometimes the “baby” will be 90 lbs, and be 30 inches tall, but there is room to customize the statistics, as well as cards without the vital stats.
