This week Baby Fever hits the Smock blog! We’re sharing some of our favorite recent baby announcements and baby shower invitations. Starting us off on the right foot is this darling letterpressed baby announcement submitted by Salutations. Baby Grey’s family chose our free crab motif to add a personal touch but you can select from our comprehensive options for the one that best suits you!

Announcing a “blue eyed baby girl with chubby cheeks” calls for a letterpress baby announcement that is pretty and pink – and that’s exactly what the Inviting Place sent over for us to print! We fell in love with the soft and feminine look of whisper and mint used throughout.

Our wonderful friend, Deborah at RSVP Today in New York City submitted these beyond charming Hekla baby announcements to us for printing. What we really adore is the dove ink as a beautiful soft flood of color against the eye popping persimmon ink used for the text – these are looking edgy. These are a stand out piece all their own – and we also printed one color thank you cards – matching back to the baby announcements. Huge CONGRATS go out to the proud parents welcoming the arrival of their new baby boy!

Libby from Byrd + Bleecker in Fort Worth, Texas strikes again! Birth announcements are such a joy to print, particularly when they are original and beautiful in design.
