Baby shower invitations What the media say
There are no strict rules regarding baby announcements and proper etiquette. However, the announcements should be sent out within two weeks of the baby's birth. Because of this limited time frame, consider buying the cards online, which will make purchasing them easier. After all, there are so many more things to do when a new baby arrives, the parents should not have to worry too much about shopping for announcements! Once cards are purchased, they can be sent out to just about anyone. For new mothers who have been on maternity leave for awhile, it may be a nice idea to mail the announcements to her office coworkers.
