Never thought of that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-and-name-announcements#post-2049017 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 19:48:30 +0000 Anya 2049017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will have a baby naming ceremony (Jewish tradition) so that is when we will explain the names and where they came from. The birth announcement will likely be just the regular info + picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-and-name-announcements#post-2049013 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 19:45:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 2049013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: my friend put an explanation of her sons name in her christmas newsletter- it's more of a nickname but is his official name and I feel like she got a lot of questions about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-and-name-announcements#post-2049012 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 19:44:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2049012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the idea of explaining the name and where it came from, but I still want a baby picture in an announcement. But I do agree that the name info is more interesting the how many ounces and inches and the exact minute she was born. (All info I included in our birth announcements :silly: ) </p> <p>However I felt like I needed to meet my LO before making the name official so I still wouldn't have ordered until after she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-and-name-announcements#post-2048991 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 19:20:58 +0000 Corduroy 2048991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the announcement is really cute with the picture. I struggled with finding a place to explain DDs middle name on her birth announcement. I ended up doing it on Facebook. We still got a lot of questions about it. I'd like to do something like this if we pic an "out there" name for LO2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-and-name-announcements#post-2048962 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:30:54 +0000 Adira 2048962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I agree! If you're going to send me a birth announcement, it better have a picture of the baby! :D</p> <p>I have a bunch of family not on Facebook, so for many of them, the birth announcement was the first pictures of my kids that they saw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-and-name-announcements#post-2048899 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 16:44:26 +0000 blackbird 2048899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh, I want a baby photo when I see announcements :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-and-name-announcements#post-2048880 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 16:24:54 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2048880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Joni Lay of LayBabyLay.com made the cutest name announcements for her little girls. Their names were explained and people were able to learn the correct spellings. She placed the announcement on her newborn and sent the pic out to friends and family. </p> <p>Did you do anything similar? </p> <p>I like this a wee bit more than the standard date/time/pounds/inches because it can be made ahead of time. By the time "birth" announcements are sent everyone already knows you had a baby and probably have already seen a photo.</p> <p>[attach=3033/15/nj28ti.259x194.2015-01-31-16-15-46-1963963972.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=3033/15/nj28tj.329x153.2015-01-31-16-17-13--1919807119.jpeg] </p>
