Babies are a month old and I haven't sent them out yet. DH needs to design them. Hopefully, we'll get them printed and sent this weekend.

Had my first at the end of October so I sent a combo birth announcement/holiday card
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.
-
We had newborn pictures at 10 days old then we sent out the announcements after that so it was about 1 month.
-
We ordered them as soon as we got the newborn pics back then sent them out shortly thereafter, so about a month?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Our 'newborn' session was at 3 weeks. Once we got them back from the photographer and ordered from Minted, it was 2 months.
-
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.
-
@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.
-
@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*. -
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.

Ds1 was a late November baby and I did a combo holiday/birth card. Sent them out 3 weeks pp.
Ds2 I sent out at 2 months pp. #secondchildprobs
-
About a month? We had newborn pix done at a week old and then got them back in two weeks, made the announcement and mailed them out.
-
Ok, looks like I'm okay. Average is about 2 months so far.
-
after we received our newborn pictures, so I'd say about a month or month 1/2 later.
-
Ummm...never? Oops...
-
About 7-8 weeks PP for each kid.
-
Never did one.
