Seeking Baby Announcements

I'm expecting my first child in about 2 1/2 weeks. I'm looking for unique but not too expensive baby announcements. I would love your feedback!

Thanks!

So What Happened?™

Thank you everyone for the great responses! I used to make handmade cards for a living and was going to make our baby announcements but not sure if I will have the time so I thought I should do a little research. I didn't realize Sam's Club did announcements so I may look into that too since we shop there all the time!

Thanks again!

My friend creates the most wonderful cards! I keep telling her that she should go into business some day. If interested I can give you her number or email address. She also does scrapbooks as well. She gave me one has a shower gift and it was the best thing ever. Since I'm not very creative all I have to do is plug in the pictures because she did the rest.

I've used www.purplestork.com and www.metrobabycards.com for baby announcements, baptism invites and stationary and they both did a great job and are very easy to work with.

I made my own announcements by buying card stock paper at Michaels & printing a baby picture on velum (sp?) then using a paper puncher and affixing the velum to the cardstock with a bow. It was really quite easy and looked very professional. Best part was I saved a TON of money this way and really enjoyed making them myself.

Good Luck!

I've always used www.naptimecards.com. They have some unique designs and do quality work.

We did ours through Shutterfly (www.shutterfly.com) and were VERY happy with them. I also have a friend who does gorgeous custom ones, but they are more expensive than the Shutterfly ones. Here's her website: http://www.katherinejakobs.com/

We ar epicture freaks in this house so we developed the first roll in the 1st week (ok like 4 days) after each of the boys were born. Then I picked my favorite and had Sam's Club do them. You can get 100 printed out for I think $25. And they can be done really quick!! They do a great jo and have a few different designs. We liked it because it was cost effective and wonderfully done.

So I'm totally late on this request but...
Take a baby announcement anysize and use it as a template. When you're little princess/prince comes- take an adorable picture and scrapbook around it. Then? Go to our friends at kinkos- and have them copy it on their special glossy paper. It'll look amazing with the 3-D accents, and you'll have done it all yourself, (but only once.) :)

Good luck, and congrats! :)
