There is nothing more exciting than the arrival of a new baby. The build up of anticipation culminates with a joy like no other. And of course,  there will be lots of picture taking of the new arrival.  A picture is, after all, worth a thousand words.

One of the first things on the to-do-list of most new parents is to send out baby announcements to friends and family. Now with the help of Ever After Postage, your baby announcements can arrive in style and even the envelope can provide of a hint of the special contents that lies within. Each postage stamp you affix can be customized to suit your announcement. You can choose from "It's a Boy!" and "It's a Girl!" templates or create your own by uploading a photo of your adorable little one and adding his or her name.

This is a wonderful way to add an extra personal touch not only to baby announcements, but to any mail you are sending.  These stamps are great keepsakes as well as a unique addition to scrap-booking projects.

The site also has the brilliant idea of Mommy Cards ,  basically a 'business card' for Mom's to easily swap information without scrabbling through diaper bags and purses for a pen or paper.  The cards can contain handy info such as your name, child's name and phone number, making it simple to exchange numbers as well as keep track of which child belongs to who!
