See my blog on birth announcement
A newborn picture of your baby can be included in some of them that are available. You should send out your birth announcements within about two weeks time after the baby is born. But really, you can send them out when you get the time if you do not put it off too long. You can save yourself a lot of time that you will not have after the birth of your new baby by buying your birth announcements before the baby is born. You can purchase them on the internet and save even more time and money.
