New moms might be torn between buying pre-printed baby announcement cards or printable birth announcements that they make on their own. There are many reasons that you may want to choose the latter in this case. While the pre-printed forms are convenient they may not match the printable birth announcements that you make yourself.

Deciding between the pre-printed cards and making my own was a no-brainer for me. I knew that I wanted a very personal touch for my printable birth announcements. I found a great kit online and made the order before I even had my daughter. I chose a neutral design because I didn’t know the gender of the baby ahead of time.

Knowing details like this in advance can help you choose printable birth announcements that are catered to the gender of your little one. I knew that I was having a baby and that was it. In fact, I actually thought that I was having a boy. I would have been ordering new printable birth announcements to replace the blue and white ones I had been eyeing.

Fortunately, there were plenty of designs that were perfect for either gender. The many choices left my head spinning and I really thought that I was going to have a very difficult time deciding which one of the tons of options available in printable birth announcements.

Just as some things just work out for themselves, I discovered that just browsing through the different designs led me to the perfect choice for my family. The printable birth announcements that I found had a rainbow of soft colors but mostly the purple and yellow tones stood out.

The design and color was so unique that these printable birth announcements seemed to leap out of the page, almost as if I could see them from across the room. These baby announcements were definitely the perfect selection for my new born infant, no matter if the baby were a boy or a girl.

I guess that I could have found a comparable design in baby announcement cards that I could have ordered pre-printed but I really wanted to put everything into the project. The idea of creating something from scratch is very appealing but I wanted to choose something middle-ground.

The printable birth announcements are the perfect mix between making something completely on your own and having the cards made by professionals. I also love that I got of create a personal message that I could change for different cards.
