Baby Tessa’s Birth Announcements

So all of Tessa’s baby announcements should be out and received by now! I was so excited to use pictures from her one week old basket photos we took. I did my best to make sure all of our milk donors received one, but if I missed anyone, please let me know!

As gaga as I am over pictures, I haven’t actually had much experience in working with things like birth announcements, Christmas cards, and the like. But now that I have the prettiest princess on the planet as part of our family, that is of course going to change.

I didn’t know where to start with the announcement prints or where to go. I was shying away from places like Walmart because – well, it’s Walmart. I shop there more than I shop anywhere else, but I still leave the store longing for a shower to wash off the reeking stigma of Walmart people.

That said, after shopping around (Walgreens, Shutterfly, etc.) the price and simplicity of Walmarts online Digital Photo Center won me over. The designs were clean, easy to tweak, and each order came with an envelope included. And! They were one hour in-store prints. Quick, easy and awesome. I’ll most likely be using them in the future for other cards and projects.

So if I missed anyone, please speak up! I’m in the process of actually organizing my street addresses and such, so I don’t have to do the mad address scramble each time I want to send out cards. See? Gettin’ all domestic and shtuff. Go me!
