[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]

I understand this.  It's a nice idea, but I would definitely avoid making it a birthday announcement.  Wait until the birthday has passed, then send a personal note reflecting on your first year as a parent and your gratitude for all the love and support from friends and family.  Enclose a couple of photos.  Or, if you really want to do something custom-printed, make foldover notes or 5x7 cards with DD's picture or pictures on the front and a blank inside.  In other words, do exactly what you plan to do but don't style it as a birthday announcement.[/quote]
