A new baby brings with it bundles of joy and responsibility. Before the baby arrives parents set up the nursery, and buy all the things a new baby needs. They have a baby shower, read lots of books, and look forward with joyful expectancy to the new arrival.
And finally, at long last the baby arrives. New parents want to announce this exciting little person to the world, and the best way to do so (aside from shouting it at the top of their lungs from the rooftops) is to send out baby announcements.
If new parents are expecting twins, they may be overburdened with the cost of welcoming two new people into the world. They have to double up on everything: cribs, stroller, diapers and clothing. But at the very least you can count on baby announcements being the one item that doesn’t need doubling up on. Parents simply order a birth announcement with two names inside instead of one. The price is usually the same for twin birth announcements as it is for a single birth announcement. They are sold in bundles ranging from around 25 and up. Most companies require a minimum order. These numbers differ. The companies mentioned in this article require minimum orders ranging from 10 to 35. Generally the individual price of cards becomes cheaper as you order more. In the companies researched the individual prices range from $1.35 to $1.90. Of course the fancier the card, (ribbons, bows, decorations) the more it will cost.
Twin birth announcements are easily customized by uploading or emailing your photos and information to the company. The inside of the card is left pretty much up to you. Sometimes blank cards are available. Most people choose to include the date, time, and weight of the baby. Most companies leave the contents of the announcements up to the buyer. You can create your own saying for a little added literary pizzazz or choose one of the company’s. Many of our sponsors’ designs contain an extra cute poem for your bundles of joy. Twin birth announcements from NewBabyAnnouncements.com may announce, “Two little blessings, their hearts formed in love. Truly a miracle, a gift from above.” This company specializes in hand-drawn cartoons. They are playful and authentic.
Another great company, Little Creations, announces “Our little princess was sent from above, she has filled our hearts with so much love”. Their cards are more traditional, and made extra special by a photo of your new baby. They are accented by exquisite ribbons and paper.
Stork Avenue presents the largest selection of baby announcements. With hundreds of traditional and non-traditional styles to choose from, Stork Avenue has something for just about everybody. One of their most popular is a “Sports Illustrated” style announcement. This mock “Sports Illustrated” shows off parents’ new baby as the cover model. There is also a large collection of twins and triplets designs to choose from. With all of these companies to choose from, parents are sure to find what they are looking for with twin birth announcements.
