[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I did send an announcement, and I plan to send an announcement for DD's birthday.
Since DD was born, my grandmother passed away suddenly and and mother passed away after a long illness. There has been such an outpouring of love and regular questions about DD (probably with the hidden agenda of checking in on me) that I thought sending an announcement would be a nice thing to share with those people.
I guess some people do this sort of thing via email, but that won't work for me and for this group of people.
I mainly want to share a cute picture of her, not troll for gifts. I know I could do the same at Christmas, but that's far enough away

Well, it sounds like there aren't too many like-minded new moms on DCUM. So thanks for your help, anyway.[/quote]

OP, I think I understand what you are saying but I'd vote that you send out a one-year-old pic of your DD via a less formal method - like email. We did that with our son, and now with our daughter...send out a few pictures of her to family and close friends at one month, six months, etc. My SIL would send them out during her DD's first year at times that correlated with ped appts: Suzy just turned one! The doc said she continues to grow well...weighs XX now, etc. Sending out formal "announcements" in the mail just sounds strange (and yes, like you are fishing for gifts) but then again, you know the people in your circle best.
