We had newborn pix done at a week old and then got them back in two weeks, made the announcement and mailed them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314712 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 09:14:30 +0000 mrsjyw 2314712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds1 was a late November baby and I did a combo holiday/birth card. Sent them out 3 weeks pp.</p> <p>Ds2 I sent out at 2 months pp. #secondchildprobs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314708 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 09:13:34 +0000 rattles 2314708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sent them with a holiday message both times. They're a an early December baby and a mid November baby, so one was sent at 2 weeks and one at 4 weeks. We ordered about 1.5 weeks PP both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314654 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 08:41:55 +0000 JoJoGirl 2314654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Yep. One step more formal than just putting it up on Facebook ;) And you can add a photo, choose a design etc. We saw no need to send people something in the actual *mail*. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314647 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 08:38:05 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2314647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: that sounds like a great idea. These days news travels of the birth so fast anyway. I definitely want to have one actual hard copy birth announcement to send to The White House. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314642 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 08:35:46 +0000 JoJoGirl 2314642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it electronically via Paperless Post, so had everything ready to go in the outbox before the baby was born. Baby born, filled in stats, hit send - I think my DH did it from the hospital. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314636 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 08:33:37 +0000 youboots 2314636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 'newborn' session was at 3 weeks. Once we got them back from the photographer and ordered from Minted, it was 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314595 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 08:01:01 +0000 twodoghouse 2314595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LOs are 17 months old and they have not gone out yet. Maybe for their 2nd birthday? :) They are all printed and everything, I just never got motivated enough to put them in envelopes and send them. I just gave them to people if I remembered when they were visiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314580 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 07:49:57 +0000 Truth Bombs 2314580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did ours about 2 weeks later. We had a Thanksgiving baby and wanted to get the birth announcements out in time to be our holiday cards as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314576 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 07:48:27 +0000 Alivoo01 2314576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ordered them as soon as we got the newborn pics back then sent them out shortly thereafter, so about a month? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314501 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 06:24:52 +0000 YouGotMe 2314501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had newborn pictures at 10 days old then we sent out the announcements after that so it was about 1 month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314472 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 03:21:25 +0000 hellobeeboston 2314472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had my first at the end of October so I sent a combo birth announcement/holiday card</p> <p>This baby was just born oct 1, so I'm not sure I can get away with that this time, but I might still anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-out-your-birth-announcements#post-2314467 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 02:40:55 +0000 BSB 2314467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Babies are a month old and I haven't sent them out yet.
