Best Web Sites for Electronic Baby Announcements

Electronic Birth Announcements websites are hard to find these days. It's fairly easy to find a vast array of sites that allow you to customize announcements online, then get them shipped to your house or recipients for a high price. Thankfully, I found a way around this by compiling a list of ways you can announce your baby's birth electronically, saving you money and saving the world of more trees being cut down. Not all the methods are free, but many can same you money and the hassle of mailing out to friends.

The easiest way to let your friends, family, and colleagues know you about the arrival of your little one is to create a customized ticker that lies directly in your signature of your emails, forums, or social networks.

http://www.lilypie.com has some fun ones that allow you to upload your own photo as an option.

http://www.evite.com has an ecard section for special announcements. Evite cards are so cool. You can choose from a variety of cards that create the mood and theme of whatever you are celebrating, from the images, down to the wording. If choosing premade cards is not your style, you also have the option of playing with the images by uploading your own or changing the wording to fit your vision.

http://www.morethanpaper.com/ does exactly what its name indicates. You can create the traditional paper and photo birth announcements, or you can create birth announcements via other means: electronically. Give them a try. Test out the designs and see if this site is right for you.

Another way to electronically announce the birth of your child is by giving out customized cds. http://www.greetingdiscs.com/StarBaby.htm has the cutest disks that print pictures on the cd itself. When your guests insert the disk into their hard drive, they're able to see a beautiful announcement of your baby's birth and family's joy.

A fun and free way to show your love and pride for giving birth or adopting a child into your life is to create a beautiful image to upload to any social network you belong to. Such sites include http://www.mypsace.com, http://www.facebook.com or any blog you write in. I personally enjoy the fun tools on http://www.blingee.com in which you can upload a pic, add some glitter, fun frames and images. Use the html code on your site, along with a customized birth announcement message and you're ready to go! Free, creative and fun.

How exciting would it be to see your baby on the cover of a magazine? http://www.babycachet.com/Magazine_Cover_Birth_Announcement_Photo_Cards_s/21.htm lets you upload your baby's photo and they will place it on the cover of the magazine of your choice from their site. They then offer you directions on how to print the card here: http://www.babycachet.com/Print_It_Yourself_Guide_s/97.htm Scan and share with friends!
