Anyone order them yet? I ordered mine today after I took some really cute photos of Avery. If you sign up for Similac StrongMoms they give you $20 off birth announcements at Shutterfly.com. I signed up solely for the discount. They have them priced in such a way that you still have to pay about $10 for them but I paid $10 for 50 REALLY cute cards so I'm happy. I ended up getting double the amount of cards I wanted (50) for the same price as I'd normally pay for 25. These are the photos that I used in the announcements, I used our new camera and placed Avery naked on a fluffy blanket to try and get a cute pic of her but she pee'd all over it. Haha

I make my own and I actually design ones for other people to order through me too! anyways that's beside the point. Here's the one we sent out.

looking back there are a few things I'd change on there but I always spend like 2 seconds on my own stuff and 2 million years on orders, lol

Those pics will look cute on the announcement. I especially love the one with Avery in the hat. I got a $20 coupon for Tinypics the other day so I need to make my announcements before it expires on May 3rd. My dh took some pictures yesterday so I will have to look through them and pick one.

I bet they will be so cute!!! I made Emily's a couple of months ago that way all I had to do was take a photo of her and put it on the announcement. I really need to do a little photoshoot soon though to get the photo I want to use

She's so cute

I ordered J's birth announcements from winkflash.com They offered 30 free stationery style for free, with 1.99 shipping. The promo code if anyone is interested is 30FREE.

I already ordered mine but ten bucks for fifty cards is a fantastic deal. I love the first and third pics especially btw, that shade of pink is so pretty on her.

She is so beautiful! I got 3 giftcards to shutterfly (motherhood, target, mail) also and I've been trying to decide if I want to use them or not.

Thanks for your sweet comments ladies!

Bonnie-- it wont let me link to the exact one I used but its on the front page, a few rows down and its called "Hello Chalkboard Girl". Black background with "hello" written in pink bubble letters, the pink in her hat/bow ended up looking really nice. The actual price was $19 for 25 cards but you have to spend exactly $20 or over for the discount to apply, and the next denomination up is 50. The price actually went down when I ordered 50 + added the rebate.

Here's the announcement I did at Tiny Prints. I'm not crazy about the pic because I think it looks too much up her nose and I couldn't zoom out but my coupon was expiring tomorrow so I needed to order it.
