Etiquette for Writing Birth Announcements:
Is it acceptable to use abbreviations in names and titles?
Non-professional titles such as Mr., Mrs., and Jr., are acceptable as abbreviations, but professional titles such as Doctor should always be spelled out. When using titles such as "Doctor," "Professor," or "Judge," the husband's title should always come first otherwise the husbands name come second.

Should I include a middle name in birth announcements?
Including a middle name is a matter of preference. If you are after a more formal look and feel, then using a middle name is suggested. If a middle name is used it should be spelled out completely.

Should children receive their own invitation or birth announcements?
If the child is 18 years of age or older they should receive their own invitation or announcement.

Should couples that are not living together receive their own invitation or announcement?
Unless couples are living together they should receive their own invitation or birth announcements.

Is it acceptable to use abbreviations?
Generally speaking, you should avoid using abbreviations at all costs. You should avoid using state abbreviations and spell out commonly abbreviated words such as "street," "drive," and "court". You should also be sure to spell out words such as "you'll" as "you will". By doing away with abbreviations your invitation or announcement will naturally take on a more formal look and feel.

Is it acceptable to mention gift registries?
It is generally considered tacky to mention gift registries on birth announcements and invitations. Instead of listing your gift registries it is better to allow your friends and family to ask you directly, or a friend indirectly, who may be in the know. On the flip side, it is acceptable to explicitly decline gifts on an invitation or birth announcement as long as it is done in a discreet manner.

How should I address my envelopes?
Photo birth announcement envelopes should be addressed in dark blue or black ink, with no abbreviations with the exception of titles such as Mr., Mrs., and Jr. Professional titles such as "Doctor," "Professor," or "Judge" should be spelled out and you should avoid using any other symbols to interpret the word "and". All house numbers should be written out in numeral form except for "one," which should be spelled out. Apartment, suite, and zip codes should all be written in numeral form as well. You should avoid using state abbreviations and spell out commonly abbreviated words such as "street," "drive," and "court".

What standard information should appear on my child's announcement?
At a minimum a birth announcement should contain your child's first and last name, date of birth, length and the parents' names. In addition to the above-mentioned items you could also include your child's weight, a photo of your child, time of birth, a short message or bible verse, and the names of the baby's siblings.

When should baby announcements be sent out? Baby Announcements
Ideally, birth announcements should be sent out to family and friends immediately, within a few weeks of your child's birth. If you can, I would recommend getting ready to order them during the last couple weeks of your pregnancy. You can pick everything out and even order your envelopes ahead of time to get them addressed and the postage applied in advance. Since you will be so strapped for time once the baby arrives I would strongly recommend doing this.

When is the latest that baby birth announcements should be sent out?
The absolute latest that you should send them out is six months. Baby Announcements

We have just adopted a child, should we send out baby announcements?Baby Announcements
Of course you should. Adopting a child is as big of an event as giving birth to your own child and is great news that should be shared. For adoption wording options please visit our wording ideas section.

If I kept my maiden name, how should I word my child's photo birth announcement?
You can either just list your first names or you can include your full names, it is up to you and what ever you are comfortable with. Baby Announcements

Do I need to write a personal message on each photo birth announcement that I mail out?
No. Your friends and family will understand that with the new baby you are pressed for time and just too tired.

How do I word a photo birth announcement if I have twins? Baby Announcements
See our twin birth announcements department for examples of how to organize birth information for two babies.

Is it necessary to include a photograph on my child on the birth announcement?
No, it is entirely up to you. If you have a good picture, use it, otherwise you can just order one of our traditional birth announcements and send photographs separate of the birth announcement at a later date.

Do I need to include my child's birth weight on the birth announcement?
Again this is something that is entirely up to you. If you have a premature child or an oversized child there is no need to draw attention to it.

I would like to add a short message to my birth announcement cards, what should I write?
In today's world of invitations and baby birth announcements, less is more. More and more parents are choosing to use very simple, classic language to convey the birth of their child. long language is a thing of the past and has instead been replaced with simple and short messages such as "we welcome with love" and "we joyfully announce".
