I had a $25 refer a friend credit and another coupon so for 25 announcements, I paid around $10. They are still doing the $25 refer a friend credit, just FYI (wall me if you want that!). However, the announcements are quite expensive at around $2.50 each normally.</p> <p>I looooooved our announcements... they were super high quality. Much better than the Christmas cards we typically order from Shutterfly and I had a hard time choosing a template I wanted to go with because there were so many cute options. </p> <p>We used the Sweet Wreath template.<br /> <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/birth-announcements/MIN-J48-BYA/sweet-wreath" rel="nofollow">http://www.minted.com/product/birth-announcements/MIN-J48-BYA/sweet-wreath</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-birth-announcements#post-1016329 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 13:30:54 +0000 lawbee11 1016329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I am in the process of ordering birth announcements too and just noticed tinyprints is having 20% off birth announcements if you order by 8/20.

So I don't remember how much it was total... </p> [attach=1866/13/mrhi9r.600x450.birth-announcement2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-birth-announcements#post-1013767 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:17:26 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1013767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: We haven't ordered/used these, but I was just looking online and came across a site called Simply to Impress. They're having a 40% off sale on their birth announcements, and I think free shipping as well. There are some cute designs, too! Might be worth looking into! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-birth-announcements#post-1013632 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:40:24 +0000 wheres_c 1013632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a template from etsy ($15) and then had them printed at MPIX. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-birth-announcements#post-1013518 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:10:57 +0000 Pepper 1013518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tiny Prints. They were $1.99 per card. I loved them! Here is a sample image of the one we went with.

So, get more than you think you need!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-birth-announcements#post-1013179 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:52:27 +0000 rattles 1013179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Minted's "fairy tale beginnings" template with a personal letter and three more pictures on the back. It wasn't as twee as the name would suggest :wink: We used coupons and paid $175 for 100. Since L is a December baby, they replaced last year's Christmas cards, so I didn't feel the expense as an extra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-birth-announcements#post-1013177 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:51:46 +0000 meganmp 1013177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @pregnantbee: @edelweiss: Aw, thanks!

I even designed them but never got around to sending them out. </p> <p>But my plan was to upload my design to Vistaprint bc I agree.

If you ordered pictures through them, they would give you birth announcements. It ended up being a better deal (I think we got a whole bunch of pictures plus the announcements and the digitals for $100). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-birth-announcements#post-1012972 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 10:56:20 +0000 Periwinkle 1012972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wound up using Tiny Prints after having a problem with our Shutterfly birth announcements. They were a bit pricier on Tiny Prints (maybe around $1.50). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-birth-announcements#post-1012866 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 10:22:24 +0000 littlecasita1122 1012866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had coupon codes for Shutterfly so I had free shipping and the cards ended up being a little over $1 a piece. They were printed on heavy cardstock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-birth-announcements#post-1012857 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 10:18:52 +0000 Alivoo01 1012857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a couple coupon codes for Shutterfly so I paid a lil over shipping for 40 prints. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-birth-announcements#post-1012753 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 09:48:11 +0000 blackbird 1012753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used this template from Miller's Design Market.

If you are comfortable, please post a picture or link! </p> <p>I don't want to spend a ton, but I want to get some nice ones! I'm having a slightly hard time finding ones that aren't super sweet girly frou frou-- pink, fine, but not super duper girly. I've been looking mostly at Shutterfly and Tiny Prints. </p>
