Golden rules for choosing the right text for your birth announcement
Before you start, here are some tips to help you:
Remember to include key information: the child's name, date of birth, birth weight and height, as well as the names of parents and grandparents.
Keep the text short and clear: use a simple style and avoid long or complex sentences.
Personalise the announcement message by including details about your pregnancy experience, the birth of your child, or your feelings (joy, happiness, etc.).
Choose a layout and typography appropriate to the occasion: the birth announcement should be elegant and neat, but not overwhelming.
Lastly, check the spelling and grammar of the text before printing or sending it: it is important to pay attention to details and not to leave any typing or grammatical errors.
Now here are plenty of inspiring examples to help you come up with your own text ideas. Choose from among these, but make sure you let your instincts guide you. The most beautiful card will be the one that most resembles you!
