birth or adoption announcements--ideas?
Permalink  

any sites or ideas for birth or adoption announcements.  i kind of like the one below. where have you guys ordered from or did you make your own.  any sites or stores or ideas would be welcome.  I kind of wanted something different not the typical vellum over the picture.

my favorite announcement site is www.tinyprints.com 


they have some that are specific to adoption, but you can change (literally - you can play with them, upload your picture (if you use one with a picture) and personalize them online and see the sample) the wording on any of them to make them adoption appropriate.


some of my favorite cards are actually some of the baby shower invitations - just reworded to announce our adoption.  i ordered some samples of a few of them to see the quality - i'll let you know how they look, if you want. 


Congratulations on having your sweet girl home!  She's beautiful!!!

We used www.purplestork.com. They were very nice, great CS, and the price was very reasonable. Plus we got a few free 8x10's of our announcement. This is the style we used, but the boes wih text were pink and the borders brown, you can customize everything:


ETA: They have a GREAT online portfolio where you can get tons of ideas.

I received the samples from tinyprints.com and unfortunately I was totally underwhelmed by them.  They looked quite boring in person.  I was really disappointed because I loved them on their site...


However, I also ordered samples of the ones itsapinkthing posted about...and LOVE those!  My husband really liked them also (he felt strongly about there being a picture of her on the annoucement...so he loved these because most of the designs include multiple pictures).  Plus, the 8x10 will look cute framed up on the wall. 


I think we're going to use those (if we ever get travel approval and actually get to go to China!)
