[quote=Anonymous]I’m shocked at the amount of people that aren’t understanding why you would want to send a one year announcement. Maybe it’s because I’m from the south?????, but this is totally normal. We do announcements for everything! However announcements are after the fact. Such as an engagement Announcement is done after the proposal. A marriage announcement is done after the wedding. A birth announcement is done after the birth. Rule of thumb is an invitation is before hand and an announcement is sent after. Inviting everyone we know and love to a one year olds birthday party would be overwhelming for them. An announcement is absolutely acceptable. It’s a way to let all of your friends and family/extended family know what’s going on in your life and to make them feel included. It is not a gift grab? Such a weird mentality. Send your invites to whomever you want to invite to the actual party  before hand and send your announcement after the party to all of those people that you want to include in this happy time in your families life. My Grandmother, who is a classic southern belle, will hound me for announcements to send to all of her sisters and cousins and all of those family members that we just don’t see on a regular basis. She would be appalled if I didn’t send out an actual, tangible announcement for everyone to hold in their hand.[/quote]
