The poor kid hasn't got a chance!

Order one from me and your baby will not be a "generic humanoid",
but will start life off as a true individual.
My nephew's arrival was announced via the missive at left. His pre-natal history from conception to the birth is shown in the imagry on the postage stamps accomanying letters addressed to him as OCCUPANT.
Storks appear on these cards delivering the bundles of joy.

At left the image has a movie-poster look. That growing family loves film, so that became the motif for their announcement.
In the one at right the poor thing has double duty as the stork also delivered the growing family's new (rather heavy) home along with the bouncing baby.

Cards can do double duty, too. If there's a way to have a card designed to convey two or more messages in one, why not?

Just don't wait too long. A birth announcement doubling as a bar-mitzvah invite might make you look a bit disorganized.
Here's a charming announcement based on the popular children's book.

A portion of the broken eggshell becomes the ducal crown of the first-born son.
Lyssa was born just before Christmas so I suggested that the birth announcement could be paired up with the holiday greeting. Two messages for the price of one stamp.
A very simple and elegant announcement is the one above. The decorative elements are small, tasteful and meaninful in the (Asian) Indian traditions.

(They thought there's no need for the dimensions and tonnage to be listed.)
The one above shows the previous generations of the family tree.
