Rants on the topic of announcements
New babies are famous for taking up a tremendous amount of time when you first bring them home. Many times placing phone calls about the birth is just not feasible. You can customize the birth announcement or just have all the traditional information included on it. You will need to include the name, date of birth, weight and length of the baby since all of your family and friends will want to know those things. Some websites will include an automatic contact notification of who signs the online guestbook.
