How to Choose a Baby Announcement Template

Think about what kind of announcement you want to send — from how you want it to look and to what you need to include. This will help you narrow down your search. 

Here are some style choices to consider:

• Minimalist designs: These pair nicely with simple wording and neutral tones. They don’t need a photo to feel complete. Or if you want to share a link to a photo gallery instead of featuring one on the digital card, add it to the Details Panel.
• Photo cards: Whether you have a gallery of posed newborn photos from a local photographer or the camera roll on your phone is full of sweet pics from your baby’s first few weeks, show them off with your birth announcement. Greenvelope has templates to spotlight a single or multiple images, like this Polaroid photo collage announcement. 
• Gender-neutral palettes: If blue or pink isn’t your thing, pick a gender-neutral design instead. A non-traditional palette also works well to announce the birth of multiples, like this Duckling Twins Announcement in sage. With Greenvelope, it’s easy to customize the colors of any template.
• Lighthearted or humorous designs: Let the joy of the moment shine through with a more playful style. The Paint Chart Announcement, the Less Sleep More Love Announcement, and The Plot Twist Announcement all lean into more casual and humorous wording.
• Announcement-invitation combos: If you want to announce your baby’s birth and invite loved ones to come meet the new addition, use a sip and see invitation to do both. Text is customizable, so you can make any template work for you.
• Backside-supported templates: With a backside-supported digital card, you can add text and/or photos to both the front and back. Keep the front more minimal, and then use the back to include a photo collage, the birth story, or a sentimental message. For example, the Missing Piece template includes simple text and a photo on the front with room for more photos and text on the back.

What Information Should You Include on a Birth Announcement?

You get to decide how much you want to share. Want to keep it simple with just the baby’s name and a photo? Perfect! Wish to give the full run down on the baby’s newborn stats? Go for it!

• Baby’s name
