Creating birth announcements is something I really enjoy. I think because I truly love receiving birth announcements, I put a lot of time and thought into the ones I get to send. We’ve used Classic Kids Photography over the past few years for photos of our children. This is the first time we were lucky enough to have them take newborn photos. To my surprise, they visited our house the week after Miles arrived (more on that to come!) and I was even more surprised to learn that they can upload photos to Minted for creating birth announcements.

 

During my proof viewing session, Lindsay explained how easy it was to use their photos to make birth announcements. She said people tend to be so excited and in a rush to make birth announcements, they upload the first iPhone photo they can. Instead, if you wait a bit, you can use beautiful newborn session photos to make them.

Minted Birth Announcements

 

Creating the birth announcements in this post took me minutes. When I logged into my Minted account, the photos Lindsay and I selected were all there waiting for me. She helped me select different looks so I would be able to find cards that fit the image well.

She also recommended using some of the fabulous sibling shots and parent shots she got for announcements too. It’s wonderful to see the new baby and also fun to see him or her with the family!

Baby Thank You Card Ideas

In addition, Lindsay mentioned how easy it is to use your Classic Kids photos for thank you cards too. When you are adding announcements to your cart, you can add thank you cards that match or even design totally different cards. It’s such a special way to thank people that give you a baby gift or help you out when the new baby arrives. Everyone loves an extra photo of the new little babe!

It’s so hard to choose a photo for your announcements, so it’s also a huge plus to get to have your photographer help you. The staff at Classic Kids is incredible. Not only are they phenomenal photographers, they also patiently sit with you during your proof viewing and really help you decide what to use where: photos to gift family, prints to enlarge and even what photos would make good birth announcements.

Once you use your Classic Kids photos to design announcements and thank you cards, you know you are getting the high quality cards Minted creates. I think Classic Kids and Minted make a great partnership – beautiful images on beautiful paper!

All of the designs in this post were created quickly and easily on Minted. I used the “view photo in multiple cards” feature and updated the cards with Miles’ info. Then I saved the designs and could compare/ decide on my favorites. It’s pretty tough to choose which I like best with all of the adorable, squishy newborn poses Classic Kids captured.
