Spreading the Good News about Your New Arrival
By metropolitanmama | May 4, 2008
Your baby has arrived - and you’ve taken hundreds of photos already. You can’t get enough of those squeaks and squirms, the yawns, the tiny toes, the precious little face - and you want to scream from the rooftops, “She’s here! She’s beautiful! She’s our dream-come true! (But don’t you dare touch her and, if you do, you better wash your hands…twice!).”
If you need help getting the word out, you might want to check out the birth announcements at Announcements Galore, “a small business that offers a variety of photo announcements for just about every occasion!” Select from birth announcements for your little girl, your little boy, or your multiples. There are also announcement options for adoptions. Announcements range between $1.09 and $1.29 a piece.
Announcements Galore also specializes in wedding, engagement, graduation, and moving announcements.
WIN IT! One winner will receive a $30 gift certificate to Announcements Galore (approximately 25 announcements). To enter, simply leave a comment on this post prior to Sunday, May 11 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). The winner will be announced and contacted on Monday, May 12. * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.
*UPDATE* The winner is #47 Stacey Moore. Congratulations!

I have checked out a few sites for the baby announcements and this site seems to offer some really cute ones. I am due in August and I am planning on sending out announcements. I always love getting the announcements and I know that all of my family does too. They live all over so it makes us all feel close.

Sadly, I am not expecting - with 6 and 10 year olds, I’m a little passed it! But, I did just move into a new home, and new home announcements would be soooo cool!

Three kids. Three times the cost on everything. Hmmmm, I think I could greatly use free announcement cards this time around, don’t you? hee! They look beautiful and I’d love to give them a whirl when this little one comes into the world.

I reviewed their products and think they’re fab! : ) My son’s 1st birthday is coming up and I have considered using them for invites or thank-yous.

May 5th, 2008 at 7:32 am
I’m starting to think about my son’s 1st b-day(already!)…this is my favorite style from AG: Block and Dots Birthday Invitation - Boy. But there are so many other cute ones too!
May 5th, 2008 at 7:33 am
My first 2 kids were born in the fall, so I got away with doing the “announcing” in our annual Christmas photo/card. I don’t think I can get away with it for a May baby. If I won, I would pick the brown and blue birth announcements for the soon to be here baby. They are all very cute and have reasonable prices.
May 5th, 2008 at 7:48 am
With the upcoming arrival of my baby I would love to win this announcement giveaway.
May 5th, 2008 at 9:35 am
I never sent out announcments with my kids. Just never thought about it. I do have a grandbaby on the way and it would be nice to send them out this time around. I looked over the site and really like the balc and pink birth announcnents.
May 5th, 2008 at 11:12 am
I’d like to say Happy Autumn to you
With a card from them too
But it’s Spring so my card will say
That I’m moving away!
May 5th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Those are beautiful!! Such a practical giveaway! I love the black & white announcement as well as the pink collage announcement.
May 5th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
please count me in
May 5th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
I love the style options! So cool! I’m totally interested in their adoption annoucements, as we’re heading that direction for baby #2.
One of the hardest things about a birth annoucement for our first, was narrowing down allll the beauitful pictures to just a few!
May 5th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
I’m not expecting, but I do have one daughter and will be moving soon into a new house,
May 5th, 2008 at 2:09 pm

I’d love to have some super cute announcements for this baby! I never sent out announcemnets with my first since he was born in November and we just sent out a Christmas card with our picture…boring!!! These are so sweet!
May 6th, 2008 at 8:15 am
We’re still contemplating #4 so I like the holiday cards
May 6th, 2008 at 9:03 am
We made one hundred announcements when our first was born. I don’t think a single one was sent out… they’re cute and a great idea, but I guess it wasn’t a priority for us because we kept in touch in other ways. Don’t enter me, please; give them to a mom who will be good enough to send them out!
May 6th, 2008 at 9:27 am
