Announcing the birth of your baby is one of the biggest announcements you will ever make. For some, it is an announcement they will make multiple times – each new time just as enthusiastic as the last. Because this is such an important declaration, you may struggle with how to word your announcement. We have rounded up all the dos and don’ts for Birth Announcement Text Messages.
After all, this is how you are introducing your baby to the entire world!
Baby birth announcements have evolved over the years as ways of communication have gotten faster and more immediate. You no longer need to snail mail your invitations after the baby’s birth or gather up all of your family and friends’ email addresses for a mass email announcement after birth. Now, you can design your announcement and have it ready to text to all of your family and friends as soon as possible.
The best part of being able to text message your birth announcements is that it’s incredibly easy for anyone to do for you while you recover from birth. Another great part of being able to message the announcements is that you can deliver to news to everyone quickly and accurately, and then you can get right to enjoying your new baby!
Wording Ideas for Baby Birth Announcement Text Messages
Possibly the most difficult part of your birth announcement is coming up with the perfect words to introduce your new bundle (or bundles) of joy! Typically, birth announcements include the same informational details about the birth plus a customized remark or favorite quote.
Usually, all birth announcements will include a picture of the newborn baby or babies with the following information:
- Baby’s full name
- Birth Date
- Birth Weight
- Birth Length (in inches)
- Parent or Parents’ names
- (optional) Time and place baby was born
There are a variety of ways you can welcome your new baby with words. Baby announcement wording can meet any preference. Some parents choose a theme like sports or princesses and focus on the gender of their baby. Other parents enjoy announcing their newborns biblically.
Parents that are welcoming multiple newborn babies and want to make sure to show their love and appreciation for every single one of their new babies.
Additional information that can be included on baby birth announcements is:
- Names of siblings
- Time of birth
- Names of pets
The most important part of planning your baby’s birth announcement is to make sure to reflect your family’s personality. If you are a family of artists and performers, you can introduce your newborn as a star. Maybe you’re a family of athletes, you may want to feature sports in your announcement.
If you are a family of educators or readers, you can feature books or quotes from your favorite authors – or even the traditional teacher’s apple or letter blocks!

You can take two routes when designing your baby birth announcement text messages.

You can save an electronic version of these designed announcements and attach them to your text message announcement.
The other way to design your baby birth announcement text message is by using your phone. Smartphones are equipped with many ways to design your own announcements. You can place words directly onto your picture with the photo editor on your phone, or you can download an app to give you more design options for your announcement.
Getting Your Announcement Together Ahead of Time
Since having a new baby is a huge adjustment (and having multiple new babies is an even bigger adjustment), getting your announcement together before birth is highly recommended. You can decide on what you will say on your announcement and get the entire design layout ready to add in any specifics and the newborn photo after the birth.
The Added Convenience of Birth Announcement Text Messages
Having your baby birth announcement designed for text messaging allows for easy posting of the announcement on social media and gives the option for emailing the announcement as well.
Once you’ve sent all of your personal announcements out, you can easily post on social media to inform the world of your new bundle or bundles of joy! You can also conveniently email your announcement to anyone whose number you may not have – like coworkers and more distant family members.
Are Baby Birth Announcement Text Messages Appropriate?
Absolutely! Today’s parenthood is much different than parenthood of the past. Often, both parents work in the household and paid maternity leave is not often provided in the United States. Therefore, mom is usually taking care of the new baby or babies and any siblings at home alone while her partner continues to work in order to provide for the growing family financially.
With the rise of social media and the ease of text messaging, electronic baby birth announcements are more than appropriate. In fact, people check their phones much more often than their mailbox, so many will appreciate a text message sent directly to their phones.
In Conclusion…
Announcing the birth of your baby or babies doesn’t have to be hard anymore. With baby birth announcement text messages, you can quickly and easily introduce your beautiful newborn or newborns to the world with the single press of a button. Make sure to find the perfect wording for your new arrival(s) and match them with the most adorable picture for a beautiful and sentimental birth announcement that you can be proud of!
