i did this, just with Paper Source envelopes. Best decision ever. Everything was addressed and postage on. So in sleep deprived mode, I just ordered (in my case from Walgreens) and mailed.

Costco. Super quick turn around time.

Plus, I liked the designs better.

Priced better too. I wasn't about to spend a ton of money (shuttetfly was like $1+ ea) on birth announcements which people will take once glance at, say "aww" for 3 seconds, and then just trash anyway.

Costco makes for a good keepsake. My first child was born 7 yrs ago and birth announcement still holding up fine.

TinyPrints has really nice paper, I think. Much better for saving.

I would like them to be nice enough to save as a keepsake, and not sure if I will be able to tell the difference from a cheap Costco picture ($0.69/card) or something more pricey (several dollars per card). I can't even remember the last time I printed pictures.

Thanks in advance.


I went with Tiny Prints - not sure why (complete sleep deprivation at the time) -but they did a great job and I am happy with what we went with. I would recommend finding a pattern you like - and go from there!

Also- I had newborn pics done (between 6-8 days) and used those for the announcement.


+1 on Tiny Prints. I like their selection and quality and they always have a discount code.
