You want your birth announcement to be many things. You want it to be trendy, cute, cheap and most of all, memorable. You want something that people will love and keep up on the refrigerator long after the baby is born.

If you want to be creative and fashionable at the same time, then you should consider photo birth announcements. You could go the traditional route and get announcements with clip art drawings of cute babies, but the effect will be a lot better if you do photo birth announcements with a picture of your new addition.

People that you send them to will love to see a picture of your baby. You do not need to explain how your baby girl has your eyes or her father’s dimples. People will be able to see for themselves, and a picture is worth a thousand words.

Another great thing about photo birth announcements is that they are relatively inexpensive. You can even customize them and do them yourself if you would rather. To save even more money, consider taking the picture at home.

You can switch up the color scheme as well if you want to be unique yet trendy. Instead of blue or pink, try green, yellow or purple in pastel tones. You might want to stick with the traditional colors however if you use a name that could be either male or female.

You can make your photo birth announcements even more unique, if you try using embellishments. Whether you use ribbons or fun scissors with edges, you can make any announcements fridge-worthy.

Some might mistakenly believe that these photo birth announcements are expensive, but you can easily do them on a budget. Even if you buy them, then you can find promotions and discounts due to the fact that they are extremely popular.

It is fine to jump on a trend, especially when it is such a cute one. Go all out and make sure your baby’s photo birth announcement will be one that no one will want to take down off the fridge.
