Baby shower AND birth announcements?
Did you/would you send out birth announcements if you had a shower? I'm thinking about doing it, even though I'm having a shower. I'm afraid that people will think that I'm expecting another gift, which is not the case at all. It's just that DH and I are moving halfway across the country next week, far away from family, so I want to send photo announcements out to everyone when the baby is born. What do you think?

Oh YES Im sending out announcements!! I cant wait to pick them out!! I'm having a shower too. I dont think people will think its hinting for more gifts, I never felt that way when people send me announcements.

Ok, I'm hoping that's not what they'll think. I know my mom goes to the shower and also will send a gift when the baby is born, but that's her.

I did. We didn't get many gifts from the birth announcement. I personally love getting them and seeing people's babies.

We did both. To be honest, most of the people who gave us a gift gave it before we sent out the announcements or if we didn't see them told our parents they had a gift for us.

Re: Baby shower AND birth announcements?
I had a shower and I did photo announcements. I wanted family & friends who didn't see her in the hospital to see what she looked like. I would not think that a person who sends a birth announcement is looking for gifts.
