Default Birth announcement?

What are you doing? With my first 2 we did the HereSHEis and HereHEis candy bars. They were cute, and I liked having something to give people when they came to visit the hospital/house (kinda like the dads used to give cigars). With Hannah we just ordered the picture cards from her pics. at 1 week old. They were cute, but I didn't have anything to give people right away. Anyway what are you guys planning to do?

Not sure what we are going to do yet. With DS and DD I did the photo card announcements. I've been looking around on Etsy and there are some really cute cards out there and I might have some of those done. Not sure yet.

These magnets are something different.

I have thought about what to do, but haven't decided. Any ideas you ladies have would be greatly appreciated! I do love the announcements with photos and the baby's name, size, birthday, etc. but they aren't available right after the birth, there is a waiting time.

Here are the ones we did for dd and ds. The top 2. I'm not sure if it's the same site since that was along time ago. But we ordered them the day they were born and got them before we left the hospital. My ex's parents did all the ordering, so they must have had them overnighted. Like I said it was nice to have something there to hand out. Personalized Chocolate Bar Announcements: BabyBar.com

What do you think of this one? It says valentine, but only on the order, not on the bar (as far as I can tell). I don't really think love or hearts has a season, what do you guys think? Carson Wrapped Hershey's: BIRTH GIFTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS: ALL Girls

I did the cards with Ian, but not til he was about 1 month old. Had to get just the right pic I'll probably do cards again this time.

I will make my cards up with photoshop when she is a week or two old, mainly for the family out of town who won't get to see her right away. Didn't think of at the hospital. Will have to see what everyone comes up with for suggestions.

Well my husband already made fun of me for this, so you all can, too! lol
I'm a graphic designer and wanted to put together some matching birth announcements and thank you cards... came up with this:

Pretty sure he'll be the only baby around with his own logo!
I'm going to put that on his thank you cards & announcements--haven't finalized those yet, though.

Cheri- I love those magnet announcements! My sister sent out Save the Date magnets and everyone has been complimenting her on them. I might just have to send out little magnets for Tatum!

I was going to do just regular photo announcements, but I'm loving these magnet ones!
