Annoys me, but I don't say anything. She has a birth announcement for her other grandkids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements/page/2#post-2104676 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 21:30:36 +0000 autumnleaves 2104676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we combined it with a holiday card so it was a 2 in 1 deal for friends and family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements/page/2#post-2104669 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 21:26:41 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2104669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for lo1 but not sure if I will do a combo announcement/holiday card for lo2 or a separate announcement. Due in October so is probably send it out right at thanksgiving if I did a combo and lo2 would be 1.5+ months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements/page/2#post-2104645 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 21:02:31 +0000 yin 2104645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do them with LO1 but did it for LO2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements/page/2#post-2104644 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 21:02:14 +0000 turquoisemama 2104644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did but I combined it and made it an announcement/thank you for gifts we received. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements/page/2#post-2104643 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 21:01:37 +0000 PrincessBaby 2104643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I did them for H1 and will do them for H2. I'm going through the expense and effort of doing newborn photos, so I figure I might as well display them as much as I can:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104638 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 20:58:40 +0000 Mae 2104638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. The older family is not on Facebook and also I love getting birth announcements from other people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104629 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 20:52:44 +0000 Amelieisme 2104629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes with both of my LO's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104494 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 18:54:40 +0000 matador84 2104494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes with 1 no with 2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104441 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 18:14:15 +0000 Adira 2104441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I have a lot of family not on social media. Plus I love having those keepsakes for my two boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104421 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 17:58:39 +0000 lemondrop 2104421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I didn't order many and I sent them only to the older family members that are big on that. Heck, I got too tired after addressing half of them (with both boys) and still have stacks of old announcements somewhere on my desk :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104420 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 17:57:12 +0000 birdofafeather 2104420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep. i love printed things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104416 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 17:54:05 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2104416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did paperless Post announcements and then printed them out for us to keep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104410 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 17:47:55 +0000 marionberry 2104410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Waffles: I have looked and seen a couple but I need to look more. Etsy is so vast. I agree that I've seen amazing baby shower invites there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104365 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 17:00:32 +0000 Mrs.Waffles 2104365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: Not sure if you already have done this, but Etsy has some pretty nice designs I've seen designs for baby showers for twins. Maybe they have some for birth announcements as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104352 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:43:51 +0000 winniebee 2104352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not with our first. This time I did a combo birth announcement / holiday card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104335 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:28:02 +0000 marionberry 2104335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we did and I loved them with ds. But I'm finding that none of the companies make much of a selection for twins, which has me really annoyed! I'd really like to do it again but I'm going to have to settle for a design I don't really love. I don't get it - 150 options for girls, 150 options for boys, 10 for twins? I know that twins occur less frequently but still... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104330 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:22:46 +0000 jhd 2104330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104327 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:19:55 +0000 Miss Ariel 2104327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought them, but our lo is 3 months old and I've yet to address or send a single one out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104318 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:04:47 +0000 dolphin 2104318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104316 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:04:15 +0000 MrsF 2104316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Both of my kids were born in the fall so I figured Christmas cards were enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104315 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:02:20 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2104315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We had newborn photos done. Also I don't really post many pics of my LO on Facebook and didn't really mention my pregnancy on it, so we wanted to do something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104312 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:00:46 +0000 namaste 2104312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, designed them myself and sent them out last month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104305 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:58:11 +0000 beachbee 2104305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We sent them out when she was 5 months old, so everyone knew she was here and had already seen pics on FB, but I'm a sucker for baby announcements so it was really important to me to send them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104302 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:57:03 +0000 rattles 2104302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, for both of them. I love them and have them framed for their rooms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104290 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:53:46 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2104290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No and we probably won't this time either. The money and getting it together just aren't in the cards for us but I take a lot of photos and send emails </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104281 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:50:47 +0000 lilteacherbee 2104281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they were a birth announcement/Christmas card combo since he was born mid-Nov. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104280 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:50:26 +0000 blackbird 2104280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and i'll do them again! DH has a lot of family NOT on FB. I like pretty paper products </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-birth-announcements#post-2104271 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:48:24 +0000 avivoca 2104271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! I sent them along with our Christmas cards. I love getting paper mail! </p>
