The smile that flickers on baby’s lips when he sleeps – does anybody know where it was borne? Yes, there is a rumor that a young pale beam of a crescent moon touched the edge of a vanishing autumn cloud, and there the smile was first born…
―Rabindranath Tagore
As proud parents, you probably can’t control your excitement and happiness about him/her being born. Sending baby announcement cards is a typical and common way to let the whole world know about the new addition to the family.
Instead of ordering or purchasing the announcement cards for a shower or to announce the birth of your baby, why not make them for yourself. It will enhance and personalize the cards tenfold, plus you can keep one in your baby scrapbook as a souvenir. You can never have done enough to share this joy with the rest of the world.
