Simple, clean black and white letterpress birth announcements? Swoon. And that name? Totally besides the point, but Jackson Dixon is so southern and absolutely precious (as is his cute little face!). I saw these announcements on Oh So Beautiful Paper by Lauren Chism and love them. The black-and-white makes them very classic – almost newspaper-esque (like these). What do you think? Too simple? Or simply perfect?

I am constantly scouring in the internet for creative baby announcements, and I absolutely love this modern card, designed by Kate Stoltz. I really like the incorporation of baby Gemma’s footprint and the wrap-around ribbon tying the trifold together. And how sweet is that sleepy picture? Have you seen any other cute announcements? I’d love to see!
If you’ve seen some of the nursery inspiration I’ve posted so far, you can likely guess that the color gold will have a huge influence in all things related to our baby girl! When I saw these golden calligraphy baby announcements by Val Marie Paper on Oh So Beautiful Paper, I swooned. I fell in love with Val’s stationery skills back here.
Favorite pieces of these announcements: First, the name Vivi Mae is so darn cute (we’ll share our name soon!); secondly, that baby is adorable; third of all, that calligraphy by Katherine Holly is amazing. I cannot wait for my two upcoming calligraphy workshops!

I super, super love Antiquaria. Their store is to-die for. All of the rubber stamps are gorgeous, as well as their entire collection of paper goods. I found this unique save-the-date on Oh So Beautiful Paper and thought it was an excellent DIY option for a wedding, or even for a baby announcement (obviously what’s on my mind now)! Antiquaria has a number of stamps (this is my favorite), even this baby one and this too!. The step-by-step instructions for the stationery shown below are in the post here. I’m seriously considering this for baby Petrovic!
I’m also in love with this clay DIY save-the-date. It’s such a great idea. I wish I were that creative!
Of course, the minute we find out that we’re pregnant, my brain immediately thinks about the birth announcement. I’ve posted a few of my favorites here and here in the past, but have been scouring the internet a lot recently for other ideas.
