Within Baby Cards
A birth announcement is one of the few pieces of mail people actually keep. Parents tuck them into baby books, grandparents pin them to refrigerators, and close friends hold onto them for years — not because they're obligated to, but because a card with a name, a birthdate, and a weight written out by hand feels like evidence that a real person arrived in the world. A text or a social post announces; a handwritten card commemorates. The difference matters most in exactly this moment, when the news is still new and the feeling is still raw.
Cards From You takes the logistical pressure off new parents entirely. Every birth announcement card is handwritten in real ink by a human writer, addressed, stamped, and mailed directly to your recipient list — whether that's six people or sixty. You can place your order from the hospital, from the couch at 2 a.m., or weeks in advance if you want to get ahead of it. Include the baby's name, birth date, weight, and length, and we'll write it out exactly as you'd want it to read. No printing, no stuffing envelopes, no post-office run required.
Most etiquette guides suggest sending within two to four weeks of the birth, but anywhere up to three months is widely accepted. Earlier is generally better — the news feels more immediate and the gesture lands with more weight when the baby is still newborn.
At minimum: the baby's full name, date of birth, weight, and length. Many parents also include the time of birth or the names of siblings. If you're sending to people who may not know the parents well, a brief line like 'We're so thrilled to introduce her to the world' gives the card a personal, complete feel without being excessive.
Yes — you can submit a full recipient list with individual addresses, and each card will be handwritten, addressed, and mailed separately. This is especially useful when you're sending to family members spread across multiple states, since you don't have to coordinate addresses yourself or make a single bulk mailing.
