Announcement Of Birth

My husband is in the military so I want to put our birth announcement in our hometown paper. How do I word that she wasn't born in our hometown? Do I put that before her information, or after it? This really confuses me and I can't find an example anywhere of a similar situation. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I'd call your hometown paper and ask how they handle out of town births. So often they just get the information from the local hospital and print it the next day (with parent's permission of course). So they may counsel you to have someone call a specific department when your baby is born so they can report it in the birth section. They'll probably just list it as "name of parents, baby name and birth information, name of hospital baby born in, name of town baby born in."

Hilarious child birth video where overzealous video-camera dad gets what's coming to him.

I am debating on what size birth announcement to mail to family. If I do the 5x7 size (single picture in envelope basically), will that be the regular .44 stamp or will it require additional because of size?

Why not just do it for free? Use a free online service like www.amigram.com. You can upload photos, video, links and your own content to tell everyone about your new baby. Save yourself some money by skipping the printing and postage charges. All you have to do is upload your email contacts and send it out.

People appreciate the opportunity to share their good news without having to let all their relatives and parents’ friends onto their Facebook page, pay for a newspaper listing, or create a website.

Of course, they can also send their announcement to Facebook and Twitter, if they want to spread the news; or if they want to keep their announcement private, they can restrict it so only friends and family see it.

I think it is tacky to not send a birth announcement to someone that was invited and gave a gift at a baby shower. My mom doesn't think it is necessary because none of her friends kid's have sent birth announcements even though she has been invtited to their showers.

I have been to about 8 or 9 baby showers and never have received one-- I thought that tradition had been pretty much dried out? Maybe thats just around here (in Virginia)...

go to your public library and ask for the old newspapers from that time. They will most likely be able to point you to them.

I never sent out birth announcements because I wanted to do one with photos but I really didn't have any professional photos that I wanted to send out. Now I am sending out a photo collage on a card and I wouldn't really call it a birth announcement, it's just a card but I wanted to somehow maybe tie in Easter and our baby and make the wording related to that. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could say in the greeting?

I would say, "(Baby's Name) has kept us busy for six months! Hope you enjoy catching up with him in pictures and have a Happy Easter!"
