Unique Baby Announcement Ideas

Any mommy-to-be will be more than thrilled to announce the birth of her baby to her friends, family and loved ones. Take a turn away from plain old cards and go with something a little bit more unique. From personalized beverage mixes, mint tins, chapsticks and more, we have tons of great unique birth announcements and alternatives for you to scream "It's a Boy!" or "It's a Girl!" After all, you want to create something just as special as your new baby.

Typically birth announcements are printed or handwritten on cards and mailed out to everyone that matters. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with this classic method: there's unlimited designs and styles to choose from, it's cheap, simple and quick. If your heart is absolutely set on handing out those cards you couldn't resist buying, why not add something a little more unique, such as a personalized beverage packet? Our cappuccino, cocktail mixes, hot cocoa, lemonade and tea bags are small and thin enough to easily slide into a card. Our coffee packs, available in silver, gold, white and red, are a bit thicker to fit into a card, but would look great inside an organza bag. You could also give out two or three to each person and tie the packs together with a ribbon. We also have coffee soft packs, that stand up and have a tiny box at the top of the bag. Other great ideas are honey, Hershey bars and miniatures (or just the wrappers) and Hershey kisses. All of these items are offered with basically the same designs, and can be personalized at no additional cost.

Personalized mint tins are also a great alternative. These tiny tins are roughly two and half by two inches in length and width, and about half an inch tall. The hinged tins are already labeled, filled with candy and shrink-banded to ensure freshness. Choose from three different delicious flavors: peppermint, sugar free peppermints, or a yummy cinnamon candy. Your guests will be able to enjoy their tiny treat, and can use the tins later, too. The tins are ideal for storing thumbtacks, paperclips, pills, and more. We also have adorable and yummy lollipops announcing the birth of your baby. The strawberry flavored pops are delicious, and the lollipops are neatly packaged in clear cellophane and tied together with a white ribbon. Each order of 24 is included with a white display box to stand the lollipops up and show them off. We also have all natural chapsticks packaged in a gingham or polka dotted label. So cute!

Hopefully all you moms-to-be out there decided to go with one of these unique birth announcements. Or at the very least, inspired you to think outside the box and create something one of a kind.
