Cheap Birth Announcement Cards: Welcome Baby the Creative Way

The birth of a new child into your family is a wonderful event, one of those events that you want to document and announce to the world. Sending announcement cards to the entire world is expensive, now isn't it? Here are some options to help you save some money on the announcement cards.

OK, maybe sending cards to the entire world is exaggerating just a little bit, but you do want to let your family and friends know about the new addition to your family. There are many different companies that produce announement cards. Your goal should be to send a great looking card, without spending a fortune on them. Remember, you are going to be buying formula, diapers, and baby food in the very near future. Here are some websites that can help you out with cheap birth announcements.

At www.birth-cards.com, as the parent you have a selection of either simple text announcements or including a photo with your birth announcement cards. Both types of cards are affordable at birth-cards.com. The text only cards are only $1.39 each. You can customize your birth announcement to say anything you wish, and you have many designs to choose from. To name a few there are the diaper pin, moon, plane carrying a banner, the stork, and a baby mobile. If you are interested in a photo birth announcement once again your text is entirely customizable. These will cost $1.85 per card and design is limited to either a book outline with your child's photo in it, or a plain square photo. With any of these announcements, either photo or text only, you will receive 10 free announcements if you spend over $75 at birth-cards.com.

Do you want a more unique way to announce your child's birth? Well how about sending out magnets? You might be thinking magnets are expensive birth announcments, but at www.magnetguy.com they are actually cheap birth announcements. These birth announcements will only cost you $1.50 each which is less than the photo announcements from birth-cards.com and these announcements come with a photo you submit on the magnet. The only trick with magnetguy.com is that there isn't a lot of customization you can do. The 3 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch photo is as creative you get. Otherwise you can only include text in a form that asks for the names of the parents, how you wish to announce your birth in a few words, the baby's name, date of birth, weight, length, and time. No deviation from the standard form is allowed. Yet, at $1.50 each for unique birth announcements you have to give up something.

One final cheap site to get cheap birth announcements is www.hotref.com. These are also photo announcements and for $1.70 each you get a poly resin frame that includes a teddy bear in a small circular frame, and your child's photo in a 2 inch by 3 inch frame below that. Unfortunately text is limited to date, weight and time of birth of your child. If you order over 72 announcements they are discounted to $1.29 each, and for orders over 144 announcements they are discounted to $1.21 each. Once again, this is a nice and original cheap birth announcement.

There are more expensive birth announcements on the market as well. You can find these at www.finemoments.com. There you can get a printed birth announcement with text only for $1.74 including more intricate design work than the ones at birth-cards.com The ones at finemoments.com offer very little options for customization.

If you want more expensive photograph announcements you can to to www.tinyprints.com. There you are going to pay $2.69 per birth announcement include a photo. The reason for the higher price is that these cards are monogrammed.

Congratulations on the upcoming or recent birth on your child again.

It also includes some higher priced options if you wish to pay for those higher quality announcements. Remember though, you will have many more expenses now with the birth of your child.
