Christmas Baby Announcement

Christmas, Holiday, and New Years Baby Announcements

Congratulations on your growing family this holiday season! Share the joy of your baby’s first Christmas with a beautiful holiday birth announcement photo card from Minted. Our baby's first Christmas cards combine a pregnancy or birth announcement with our winning holiday card designs. You only get one chance to introduce your child to the world, so this is the year to go all out with your Christmas baby announcement card!

Tips For Getting The Most Out of Your Holiday Birth Announcement Cards:

Take plenty of photos, both for your card and for your own memories. This is truly a magical time. That said, remember to put the camera down too and relish the Christmas season with your new addition. Cherish the now.
Choose Minted’s heartier paper stocks to make this milestone announcement last. Many friends and loved ones enjoy holding onto holiday birth announcements as keepsakes. If there was a perfect year to splurge on our TripleThick paper, this is it. Instead of triple thick, perhaps try our stylish vellum overlay options. We especially love velum because you can use the custom vellum overlay for text, while underneath will be a text-free keepsake image perfect for your family and friends’ refrigerators. Maybe grandma will even frame it!
Another way to make your Christmas or New Years' baby announcements extra special is to add custom foil text. A selection of our cards includes the option to customize with foil. Add a little extra sparkle and shine this year with designs featuring gold, silver, rose gold, red, and even green foil elements!
At Minted, all of our designs you see are submitted by a collection of independent artists from across the globe. Know that each design you browse on our site is exclusive to Minted and has been voted top in class through our intricate selection process.
Card backers are an artistic way to tell the story of your little one. You could add a timeline to the back of your card with significant dates about you, your partner, and the newborn. You could also opt to have a collage of photos of your baby on the backer, to give your recipient's even more shots of the new baby.
- Backer personalization options: Create a custom backer by choosing from over 20 options that will allow you to provide more detail to your very curious friends and family. The backer template includes numerous photo slots and arrangements. There are spots for you to include the day and time your little one was born, as well as their height and weight. This way, you can have a more traditional family holiday card featured on the front, with a Christmas baby announcement backer on the back. Truly a two in one!
- Backer themes to consider: Pick from holiday-specific backer options designed with iconic holiday motifs. These motifs include watercolor pine trees, snowflakes, wreaths, and pine needles. One creative way to combine your holiday birth announcement with your holiday card is by using the “Family Chronicles” backer option. This backer option allows you to upload two photos, one of which can be of your new addition. The layout of this background has a likeness to the first page of any hometown newspaper with the top story being your little one’s arrival! Extra, extra, read all about it!
If you want room for more pictures and text to talk about your growing family, our booklette cards might be the best choice for your holiday birth announcement cards. Did you have an incredible trip to Yosemite? Dedicate an entire page to tell your family and friends about your time together. We love the booklette option especially for families with more than one kid. This way, each kid can have their own page without feeling left out that their new baby brother or sister is getting all of the attention.
In the vein of keepsakes for years to come, consider getting some baby's first Christmas ornaments personalized and added to your shopping cart. That way, you can send a traditional Christmas greeting showcasing your new family addition that can then double as an ornament to hang on Christmas trees year after year. These are great keepsakes for extended family or even the babies when they are all grown.
Don’t forget about the envelope! The envelope is the first thing your family and friends will see when they receive your card, so don’t forget to make it count! First, we have free recipient addressing. We know you have so many things on your plate during the holiday season, especially with a new baby! We’ve made sending your holiday cards easy for you. Simply update your online address book in your Minted account and you will be able to select family and friends’ addresses to be printed on your envelopes. We also offer free addressing designs that showcase illustrations, stunning typography, and beautiful script fonts. Along with the free recipient addressing, we offer front flap return addressing. No need to take the time to handwrite or stick your return address on the envelope, your home address will already be printed!
To add even more sparkle and shine to your Christmas baby announcement, think about adding an envelope liner! Your family and friends will love the extra touch you’ve included. Choose from foil colors which include silver, gold, and rose gold. If you prefer your liner to not have a sparkle and shine, we have coordinating liners that will add an extra bit of Christmas spirit to your holiday birth announcements.
Seal your card with love! Custom stickers are most definitely our favorite way to seal our cards. Our 1.5” by 1.5” custom stickers are the perfect size to seal your holiday birth announcements. With Santas, wreaths, doves, trees, ornaments and more, there is a design suited to every family’s personality. Also, stickers are a fun and easy way to involve the entire family! You sign the back of the card, your kid puts the card in the envelope, and your partner seals it with a sticker! Don’t forget to put some holiday tunes on to really get into the spirit!
When it comes time to send out your cards, don’t forget the stamps. No matter if you’re sending a standard letter, square letter, or postcard, a beautiful stamp can set the right first impression. Consider purchasing some holiday-themed stamps from your local post office to enhance the holiday theme of your correspondence.
