Why not just do it for free? Use a free online service like http://www.amigram.com. You can upload photos, video, links and your own content to tell everyone about your new baby. Save yourself some money by skipping the printing and postage charges. All you have to do is upload your email contacts and send it out.

People appreciate the opportunity to share their good news without having to let all their relatives and parents’ friends onto their Facebook page, pay for a newspaper listing, or create a website.

Of course, they can also send their announcement to Facebook and Twitter, if they want to spread the news; or if they want to keep their announcement private, they can restrict it so only friends and family see it.
