Birth announcements may be as simple or detailed as you wish. They should include the mother’s name, father’s name, baby’s name and date of birth and what city the family lives in.

You might want to include the baby’s height and weight at birth and the grandparents’ names. Descriptions of showers may also be included.

You MUST include a name and phone number where a family member can be reached for confirmation. Birth announcements can not be published without verification.

Here’s a sample story to get you started.
