How to Write this Announcement Letter: Expert Tips and Guidelines
Start with expressions of joy and excitement. Mention the baby's weight and length (optional) to personalize the announcement. Welcome family members without an overload of names. End with a positive and forward-looking statement.
This announcement will normally be sent to a newspaper or posted on social media and will contain fewer personal comments than a personal letter. There are no hard and fast rules about how to state the names of parents. Although most parents will share the same surname, some parents will be unmarried, some will be single parents, and others, although married, will have different surnames. Your choice will reflect your own situation, attitude, and values. If you want to add any commentary beyond the basic information of birth, weight, height, etc., check with your newspaper for guidelines.
Steps
- State the sex of the child, date of birth, parents' names and hometowns, and grandparents' names, if appropriate. Include weight and length, if the newspaper allows it.
- To the degree you feel is appropriate, add additional personal sentiments, or comments about other family ties.
