It was just a big picture of her with the writing in the corner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-order-your-birth-announcements-from#post-204903 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 14:04:16 +0000 sorrycharlie 204903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: i love those! I can't believe those aren't professional pictures! </p> <p>@HabesBabe: not sure, I haven't entered them yet. I probably won't until September to make sure they don't somehow expire! if I can't put them all into one order I'll just split it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-order-your-birth-announcements-from#post-204747 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 12:19:26 +0000 skibobrown 204747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a design from a seller on etsy and then we used Mpix to print them. I was very happy with how they came out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-order-your-birth-announcements-from#post-204743 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 12:17:36 +0000 Sammyfab 204743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also used minted. The quality and customer service was awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-order-your-birth-announcements-from#post-204690 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 11:58:49 +0000 sandy 204690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: @LAGS: I ordered mine from Minted and the quality is AWESOME - the heaviest weight paper for a reasonble price - it just feels so much more expensive than the ones from tiny prints or shutterfly. </p> <p>Also they are awesome about letting you customize. We sent ours out as combo Christmas cards (LO was born 11/11/11 so we sent them out in December)...I found a flat Christmas card I liked but wanted to make it a folded card...and they let me do that...i talked to customer service and they told me what the price would be and how to write it out on the website so that they would know what I wanted. So the cover of the card was a big photo of her with her birthdate, weight, time, and name and the inside of the card on one side was a collage of 9 photos from her newborn session and the other side was a message (summarizing 2011 and saying the highlight was the birth of our daughter, thanking family/friends for all their support and looking forward to having everyone meet her in the new year). </p> <p>Everyone LOVED our birth announcement cards and commented on the quality of them...MINTED is the best :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-order-your-birth-announcements-from#post-204653 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 11:36:04 +0000 HabesBabe 204653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Were you able to combine the different offer codes from Motherhood? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-order-your-birth-announcements-from#post-204568 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 11:09:08 +0000 prettylizy 204568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our photog made them for us</p> <p><a href="https://attachment.fbsbx.com/messaging_attachment.php?aid=654fa37dbdc577e80a6182b478540f40&#038;mid=id.114588075339164&#038;uid=122702420&#038;accid=122702420&#038;preview=0&#038;width=100&#038;height=100&#038;ext=1340899670&#038;hash=AQCv_HG8vcKuqmOy1agNKpi1wz7bRDt387ZKvAyBBWmjow" rel="nofollow">https://attachment.fbsbx.com/messaging_attachment.php?aid=654fa37dbdc577e80a6182b478540f40&#038;mid=id.114588075339164&#038;uid=122702420&#038;accid=122702420&#038;preview=0&#038;width=100&#038;height=100&#038;ext=1340899670&#038;hash=AQCv_HG8vcKuqmOy1agNKpi1wz7bRDt387ZKvAyBBWmjow</a></p> <p>Not sure if that link will work, but they are cute, yellow and girly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-order-your-birth-announcements-from#post-204560 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 11:06:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 204560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: OMG SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-order-your-birth-announcements-from#post-204539 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 10:57:40 +0000 Arden 204539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: Awww.

Where did you order your birth announcement if you got one printed and sent it out?? Links to the specific design would be awesome...!! And if anyone on here does birth announcement design (which I think a few do??) can you post on my wall?? Thanks!!! </p>
