Parent-to-be Tip of the Week: Prepare your electronic birth announcement in advance

If you are like many families, you have family and friends in other states and possibly even other countries. If you communicate via email, you will want to announce the birth of your new arrival this way as well. It is an instant way to share pictures and information about your new bundle of joy.

Get ready to tell everyone by creating your draft email a few weeks prior to your due date. This allows you to customize your announcement and have everything ready except adding your delivery information and pictures. Go back to your draft a couple of times after creating it to make sure you have included all of the information you wish to share and to make sure every recipient is listed. After baby arrives, just type in the final details and out it goes without the worries of forgetting to email it to someone important or omitting information you wanted to include but forgot.

Happy Spring!
