Birth Announcements From Pear Tree Greetings {$25 GC Giveaway}

Having a baby is one of the biggest milestones in a person's life! Of course when that event happens, you want to share your news with your friends and family and show off your new bundle of joy.

I was so excited to have birth announcements made for my children that I just ordered them right in the hospital from the hospital photographer. I will say that they came out pretty cute, but honestly, they could have been a little nicer. I was so excited, though, and wanted to get those announcements out as quickly as I could!

Pear Tree Greetings has recently launched a new collection of Birth Announcements! From classic announcements that show a picture and vital statistics, to chic monogrammed tri-fold announcements, to really cool round announcements, there are so many different styles to choose from! You will definitely be able to find that perfect announcement to show off your new little one.

To celebrate this new product line, Pear Tree Greetings is holding a baby contest where you can win $1,000! Tell Pear Tree Greetings how you announced your pregnancy to your family and friends. Was it funny, memorable or sentimental? If you have the best story, you may win a $1,000 Visa Gift Card or $100 off baby announcements from Pear Tree Greetings!
