1. Lafayette, LA - May 24, 2010 - With more than 4 million babies born in the United States each
year, according to the Centers for Disease Control, sharing the news with loved ones requires
going the extra mile. Expecting parents now send out pregnancy announcements to start
celebrating the new arrival ahead of time, but many of those parents face a problem. Wording
these types of birth announcements becomes challenging since few examples have been
available until recently.
Online stationery provider Cards-411 developed a solution for these parents: a database of
pregnancy announcement wording examples customers could use in their own cards or that
could serve as inspiration for their personalized messages. Furthermore, this service costs
nothing for customers, and they can access the database while placing their order so the
desired message can be printed onto the stationery in the ink color and font style of their
choice.
"As far as we know," says Operating Manager Dawn McIntosh, "none of our competitors offer
this service for pregnancy announcements. Having a baby is a big event so new parents don't
need the extra pressure of brainstorming creative verses to impress their friends and family,
too. We just want to make things a little bit easier on our customers."
While the database does include wording samples for baby shower invitation pregnancy
announcements, other wording examples are also included for the large selection of stationery
choices offered by Cards-411. These other types include twin baby announcements, photo
baby cards, and adoption announcement stationery.
In addition to the free database of wording options, Cards-411 offers 10 free cards with each
order, free personalization options including the choice to add a photo to any card sold on the
web site, and free shipping on orders of over $100. The site also allows customers to view
their customized cards before finishing the order so changes can be made quickly. To ensure
customer satisfaction, a proof of the card is sent to customers for approval before printing as
well. If the approved proof comes back by 2 pm, the order is printed and shipped the same
day to ensure prompt arrival of baby shower invitations for the customer.
