[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just had our third baby. We didn’t send Christmas cards (I always do!) and I really want to send announcements. I have some friends and family members who I know would love a card, even though we share plenty of photos with them. Plus we got beautiful family photos taken.

I don’t want gifts, of course not! I’d just like to send a card.

What can I write on the card, if anything, to make this clear? “Just sharing our news, no gifts!” some lame.[/quote]

The only reason to send birth announcements is to ASK FOR A GiFT.   ALso, other than immediate family, no one gives a damn about a third child.

Put NO GIFTS on announcement if you really want no gifts?[/quote]

This is stupid advice. I would be happy to learn of the birth of a third child. But sending a gift would never occur to me - perhaps for a close friend or relative but more often than not, I wouldn’t consider sending a gift.[/quote]

I clicked send too soon. Also putting no gifts on the announcement is rude. It’s as if you assumed that other ppl sending birth announcements were doing it for gifts even though they weren’t. [/quote]
