Personalised Baby Announcement Cards

First of all, congratulations! This is big news and it's definitely something to send far and wide. Choosing personalised birth announcement cards is a great call, because it means your friends and family get a peek at your little one (and also gets their birthday into their diaries). So if you're wondering whether to bother with birth announcement cards, the only answer is: yes, you absolutely should.

We've created some of our cutest designs for you to choose from and add your photos to. From classic, traditional styles to more fun and creative ones, there's a card for every little one (because really no two are alike).

Our creation studio is super easy to use. We know you've got better things to do that spend ages tinkering online, so we've put together some ready-to-go card designs to give you a headstart. Just upload a few favourite snaps to play around with on the card cover and then get ready to customise the rest. Everything in our designs can be edited and tweaked, right down to the fonts and colours. We've also designed some irresistably cute stickers to accompany your photos and fill any pesky blank spaces. Giraffe in a party hat, anyone?

We like our standards high. That's why we print on our premium thick 350gsm paper, so every detail and gummy smile is captured. And because we know you've got your hands full, we'll also include ten envelopes with your birth announcement cards, so you're ready to send them off as soon as they arrive.

We've got you, baby

If this is a baby number two or three announcement, then you probably know that the hard part isn't quite over yet. Luckily, we're here to make things a bit easier for you, with a whole host of bits and bobs to keep the little ones out of mischief (and give you a chance to relax).

Welcome to epic bedtime stories with a My First Baby Photo Board Book. You can add words and captions on each page to get those first words going. Let them learn who's who in the family with some favourite pics or go on safari with some snaps of zoo animals.

For you parents, we think you've earnt some time off. How about a Photo Cushion to help you sit back with a cuppa after a long day (and probably night too)? Pair with an A4 Lay Flat Photo Book of filled with your favourite baby photos, to remind you that damn, you really do have a cute one.

Baby showers = excuse for a party

We know how this works. Babies mean baby showers, so we've got a few pointers to help you throw their best first-ever party. Check out some of our favourite baby shower messages for cards to start the excitement. We've got some great recommendations for some baby shower games and activities, so really all that's left to do is sort the date (you're welcome).

• Scroll now, create later — pick out your favourite photos of baby
  before you start creating (we know they're all cute but you need to
  shortlist a few).
• Keep it neutral — gender colour stereotypes are so 20th century,
  darling.
• Play dressup — there's no shame in dressing your baby up in a cute
  new outfit for a photoshoot. If they're a Christmas baby, a Santa hat
  and booties never go amiss. They only get one birth announcement
  card, right?
