Birth Announcements

Im REALLY not being rude here or insulting. This is a REAL and TRUE question that ive just been curious about.

What is the purpose of birth announcements? Whenever i get one, i already know that the baby was born, its name, etc. Why do people send these?

Again, im not being judgmental, i just wanted to get your thoughts.

Thanks!!

Not everyone sees the baby or gets to come over, so it's nice to send them out to people. Plus, who doesn't love a picture of a baby?Chat Icon Chat Icon

I love getting them. Its a way for people to see the baby even if they werent able to in person, and a way to welcome this new little life into the world.

Re: Birth Announcements

Honestly, I think it's to shout from the rooftops "We have a baby!!" I love getting them, and from the feedback I got, people enjoyed getting ours.

Re: Birth Announcements

I love getting them. It's a tradition and a formality. In a way, it is not much different from getting a thank you card even after the person may have said "thank you."

Agreed. It's a way to show those who can't visit immediately your new child. It also helps people keep in touch, as i know I won't be able to inform every single person when I have the baby.
