Cupid’s Advice:
Once you newborn arrives, you will want to tell the entire world. A big question is how to do this. No longer are the days of passing out cigars and mailing announcement cards. Thanks to modern technology in communication, here are a few ways to spread your news:
1. Status update: One of the fastest ways to instantly inform your loved ones is by either updating your status on Facebook.com or tweeting a message through Twitter.com. It’s simple and straight to the point. You can include your baby’s first photo. To be really ambitious, you and your mate can even update them periodically throughout the delivery.
2. Baby blog: If you and your partner want to share more than just a simple announcement, you can create a baby blog. This allows you to memorialize your baby’s entire life, from pregnancy onward, through including multiple photos, videos and writing your experience every step of the way.
3. Edibles: To send something more than just a baby announcement card via mail, you say it with sweets. It is easy to order online your favorite candy bars with your newborn’s birth information printed on the wrapper. To make the candy bars extra special, there are gourmet candy stores that will hand-stamp the chocolate bars with the announcement.
