I don't think I'll bother. Family and friends who I care about knowing will get a phone call, or be there, or will get word of mouth through our family lol
We did them with DS so will do again. Used Tiny Prints last time which turned out great. I like the postcard idea to save some money though so good suggestion! Tiny Prints messed up our holiday cards and gave us a $40 credit so that will be used towards this before I lose it!
Oh and I will just do it all after the baby comes. Didn't take too much time.

The ILs expected us to do them with L but we never got around to it. This time we know we won't do them and hopefully the ILs don't try to pressure is into it.
I think they may have paid to put a small blurb in their local newspaper about L's birth but we didn't ask them to or even want it. They may do that again without asking us.

We did Shutterfly last time. They always have some sort of deal or coupon. I hand addressed them, it didn't take too long. I'm going to order them this weekend since Shutterfly has 30% off for July 4th.

With DD we made announcement Christmas cards since she was born 11/21. I didn't do announcements with DS and probably won't with the girls. Everyone heard via Facebook.
We did with DD and will this time again. I don't announce our pregnancies on social media so this is the big announcement. We will probably use the pics from the service at the hospital and then I have return address labels. I'm going to have MIL address the envelopes since they're staying with us for a month. Gotta make them do something besides hold the baby while she sleeps.

We never announced this pregnancy on social media either. Still haven't and she was born on Tuesday. It's kind of fun to keep it to yourself!
We did last time and will again this time. I find something I like as far as design on Etsy and then order postcards through VistaPrint with our return address printed on them. I also use them as thank yous for the gifts you get shortly after baby is born.
