Where did you order from? i would like to do it inexpensively, and I will make them myself but need to print them somewhere. I want to do the photo type one where I can put a few photos, and baby stats.

I can't believe I'm already thinking about this. I'll be 31 weeks on Tuesday! Yikes

TIA girls

I ordered mine from tinyprints.com - you get a discount if you use the code "MOM2BE". Right now mine are just preordered as I obviously have no idea what all of the stats will be, but this is what they will look like:


I'll have one of Vivi's newborn photos printed up and I'll put that in the blank space in the lower left-hand corner.

I make mine with GIMP just like I do with Siggys and such.
I'm even making my friends Baby Shower invites, for the shower we're doing for her in May.

wow I didn't realize people did them that much. I have only had 2 MAYBE 3 friends out of (well more then 20 LOL) who did them. I don't see me doing them, people are usually called or via word of mouth way before they announcements would get to them anyway.


Hmmmmm but how cool would that be to NOT call DH's parents and just them a card to let them know....they wouldn't have time to fly to see us before we left the country I may just like this idea after all!!!

haha Angela- too funny!!!

I'll prob have to order 50-75 of them. We have so many fam and friends that I would want to send it too who we don't see often who I'd want to mail it to- many who had a baby and sent us an announcement like that. But alot of people will just get an email with pics.

I'm doing them but the place I'm going through is a little pricey. I'm only getting them there because I won a $50 gift certificate for annoucements!

Otherwise I'd probably check out CVS, Walgreens and see if they had any cheap ones.

Yep, it's 10% off. Not much, I know, but every little bit helps!

One of the ideas for the Baby shower invite I'm making for my friend (Its Kieran's u/s she hasn't brought hers over and doesnt' have a scanner to scan in with)





No the greatest yet but I'm just playing around with Ideas still.

I'll make a scrapbooky one for Kieran too when she's born.

I got mine of TinyPrints too. But mine where very expensive....But I had my heart set on them. It wouldn't have been so much if DH made me order so many cause HE wanted everyone in the world to have one!!! This is the only pic i had...


I can't find it right now but Ill look for it in the AM. I dont want to take a pic of it cause it's late and DH will think Im crazy, LOL....

But here's a pic of our baby shower invite thats by the same company...

Oh Amy your baby shower invite is cute. My SIL made a boring stationary one- but not venting

I think I'm going to print some off snapfish- they aren't as fancy as tinyprints, but less $ so if we print 100 I won't feel so bad!
