Hi Everyone

Shortly after baby is born I will be having a photoshoot done and would like to include an image of my brand new baby on announcment/thank you cards.

I am considering having these made, though I would like to personalise them as much as I can. Could I please ask you all for inspiration? perhaps show me yours or suggest which site/s I should have a look at.

Thank you

Hellobabydesigns.com.au is a great site. I think price is reasonable given you get the card, envelope and magnet as well. Service is great too.

Hello Again

I am still investigating my options for Baby Announcement/Thank You cards and whilst there are options online where these can be somewhat personalised, I am now considering creating my own. I am not sure how to do this though. Is there a program that I could use? I have looked online for a template but did not find anything quite right. I know what I would like, I am unsure how to create it though.

Perhaps someone who creates tickers might be able to please help? It is a similar concept.

Thank you

I absolutely recommend nomie.com.au

She's incredibly talented, the turn around is lightening fast and she's very reasonably priced.

I discovered her when we were looking at wedding stationery 5 years ago and have now used her for birthdays, christmas cards, party invites, birth announcements, shower teas, baby showers, condolence cards....anytime I need stationery printed, oh and my sisters all use her too!

Did I mention she's fabulous! original.gif

Baire, if you are really keen to have a go yourself, how about making it in Microsoft Word? I made DDs thankyou cards in Photoshop and then couldn't remember how to use it by the time of her first birthday rolleyes.gif so just made it in Word 2010 instead. You can download some nice free fonts, add backgrounds, move pics around etc.
It's nothing too fancy but it's fun to do and it did the job. (personal details edited out)
