By Barry Jensen

You can cut the costs of photo birth announcements by doing them yourself rather than busting your wallet for them. On the negative side of this, you may find that photo birth announcements take more time than you have to spare. This is why you should consider your situation to see if hand making your announcements will work for you. Though at first you may think this too daunting, know that there are many tips and guidelines to help you on your way.

One reason many people go with handmade announcements is that they provide a personal touch you cannot get through store bought ones. In addition to this personal touch, you can tailor-make your announcements to be exactly what you want them to be.

With do it yourself announcements, you have many options for creative outlets. You are not held to any particular standard, and can do everything your way. No matter what type of paper you want, you find something that suites your personality. Rather than settling on a trite saying, create your own in order to add some personality.

Another reason to consider homemade photo birth announcements is that they are likely to become keepsakes for a long time. Because they are so unique and creative, your family and friends will keep them up on the fridge instead of throwing them away when they receive them in the mail. Because this is such an important milestone in your life, document it in a way that shows off the uniqueness of your child.

At a scrapbooking store, you will find all your paper needs and embellishment materials. Embellishments such as stickers, ribbon, punches and brads will add texture and dimension to your photo birth announcements, which store bought announcements are unable to accomplish.

Another way you can save both time and money is to do all the printing on your home computer. Check out the various fonts and typesetting options that you have on your computer, and see what works best with your design. This will create a uniform look throughout your photo birth announcements, but will also deliver the personal touch for which you are looking.

Computer fonts give a clean, crisp look and feel for your announcements. You will find that handwriting everything becomes tedious after only a few minutes. Another reason to consider printing is that you are less likely to make mistakes, as each of your photo birth announcements will look the same.
