Photo Birth Announcements

Read More About Pregnancy

If having a baby wasn't enough of a challenge, once you've gotten the bundle of joy you next need to worry about sending out Unique Photo Birth Announcements to your friends and family members. While letting the world know about the arrival of your new addition isn't so bad, keeping track of proper etiquette for wording those announcements can be a struggle. Below are some tips on appropriate wording for announcements that might be useful.

Photo Cards & Proper Wording for Couples

If you're a couple who are jointly going to be sending out the birth announcements, you'll want to include both of your names. For example, you might write "Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Smith" or "Andrew and Anna Smith." The choice is yours. In addition to your names, you'll also have to include all of the information about the baby, such as his or her name, gender, weight, length and more. Of course, this is the easiest situation for the announcements and not everyone's situation is so easy.

What do you do if the parents have different last names, for example? That might perplex some recipients. You should usually just write your names separately, such as "Anna Anderson and Andrew Smith." Don't forget to add your baby's full name to the announcement so the people receiving the card won't be confused about whose last name the baby is going to take. You should follow these guidelines in a variety of circumstances, such as couples who aren't married and couples who have maintained separate surnames after marriage.

Photo baby announcements don't necessarily need to include every detail of birth information. There are some issues you may prefer not to include. For example, you do not have to include the height and weight information for a baby who was born premature. That doesn't mean you can't go ahead and include a birth photo of your new arrival so your friends and family can get a first glimpse.

Couples who adopt a baby may also be confused about how to handle baby photo announcements. Thankfully, there aren't many differences. If there is any information you do not have, simply omit it from the announcement photo. Otherwise, treat it just like any other announcements. Parents who adopted their child from a different country may also want to include the location to prevent speculation by recipients who may not have been aware of your plans.

Other Potentially Confusing Circumstances

If you're a single parent, you might be unsure how to list yourself on your photo birth announcement. Recently widowed parents may want to list themselves followed by the phrase "and the late Andrew Smith." There's no reason for other single parents to list anything other than their own names, although it's fine to include the other parent if he or she is going to be involved. If they have some objection or if there is any question about the parentage, you'd be better off leaving off the other parent.

Finally, if you are a separated or a divorced couple, the best way to handle the situation is to send out separate photo birth announcements.
