Remember this adorable poster celebrating the couples baby-to-be? Well, they had their little one and this is the birth announcement. I have to say, this is hands down, one of the most beautiful birth announcements I’ve ever seen! Every tiny detail was thought out and executed brilliantly. Papa Allan Peters must be one proud dewd!

I am so excited to share today’s post with you. A few months ago, Ty Mattson gave me a sneak peek his son’s birth announcements and I have been giddy with anticipation to post them. Well he finally mailed these out to his lucky friends and family so we can now all appreciate them as well!

Ty used two colors to letterpress these circus themed announcements and the red/blue combination brilliantly overlaps to create the third darker color. Every last detail of this birth announcement is perfection and I can’t imagine a more cheerful design to celebrate the birth of a son. Congratulations to Ty, his wife and their new bundle of joy!

Since this week has been all about babies I thought I’d continue the theme through Friday. And luckily for us, Carolyn Giordano of Two Brunettes, posted these lovelies on Tuesday! Carolyn, a designer in New York, created these custom baby announcements for Janine and Bryon who didn’t know if they were having a boy or a girl.

I particularly love the use of bright orange as a gender neutral color for the special surprise. The foliage illustrations are perfectly cheerful and celebrate the occasion beautifully.

Congrats to the Manokloka’s on their baby girl and to Carolynn on her stunning work! These will be available for purchase in the Two Brunettes Shop soon so keep an eye out.
