New parents, we know you couldn’t be more proud. You’ve waited months–years, maybe–for your new baby to be here and you are so ready to share him or her (or him and her) with the world. We get it. So, in honor of the sunniest months, we’ve scoured our favorite sites to find cool summer birth announcements worthy of your big news.
You can catch up on sleep now instead of clicking through the thousands of designs out there with snowflakes or Easter eggs on them. Consider it our gift to you.
At top: Nothing says summer like surfer style. Check out this cool round personalized surfer girl birth announcement print from Project Cottage. While it’s designed to be a frameable print, you can get it as a digital file and print it yourself in a smaller format to send out to loved ones.
We are so charmed by this ladybug birth announcement at Paper Culture. Sweet for any baby boy or girl born during the hot season. Or get one of each if you have twins. Twin ladybugs!
Talk about cool summer birth announcements — the totally custom fireworks at night announcement is amazing for a baby born on or around July 4. Look around Colorquarry on Etsy and find all kinds of spectacular custom letterpress birth announcements handmade in their Providence studio.
They are so special and different–some fairly quirky–though probably not priced for you to send 500 of them out to every person you know. That’s letterpress for you.
A nautical theme is always great for summer, and while you can go for traditional anchors or navy stripes, I like Minted’s Sea Creatures birth announcement.
Also at Minted, the whale motif gets a contemporary take with the Modern Splash birth announcement
Or hey, why not go traditional? This Anchors Away birth announcement from Paper Culture has that preppy summer vibe that screams Nantucket weekends, and we really like the anchor motif repeated on the back. (Now get ready for baby’s first Izod Lacoste gift.)
This Retro Cute Lemon birth announcement from Tiny Prints feels like a refreshing sip of lemonade on a hot day. The baby has to wait a few years to enjoy the lemonade, but you don’t.
A sunny sunshine birth announcement is pretty on the nose for July and August babies. Unless you’re in San Francisco, of course. This one from Regina Frank on Etsy.
While not actually a mail-friendly announcement, this summer birth announcement print from Etsy’s Little Pink Press is made ready for framing as a nursery decor keepsake. It comes in two color schemes (and we happen to think both are fun for girls).
