Ideas for Cute Twin Birth Announcements

Choosing the right card for your photo announcements doesn’t have to be a chore. There are templates all over the internet. You can design your twin birth announcements on a card-printing site like Zazzle or Minted, or find inspiration to design your own on a program like Photoshop, if you have it.

It really depends on what you want your birth announcement cards to look like, and whether you find a favorite design online or decide to build one from scratch.

Many times, if you want special textures like the gold foil that you see in printed cards, you’ll find it’s a good idea to custom order on a website. It’ll save you the time and energy it takes to design it yourself… unless you’re just that savvy!

One of the most common ways to share your twin birth announcement is with photo cards. These can be shots that you took yourself or your favorite photos from a newborn photo shoot. As long as they’re high-quality newborn photos and you like how they look, they make great announcements!

You can even do a custom photo book if you have too many pictures to fit on one card.

Another way to do it is to use standard greeting cards. You can either put a photo on the front of a custom card or print photos separately and stick them inside the cards as photo gifts.

Photos with letter boards, name tags, or date cards have been popping up all over social media, and they’re super cute and simple! Especially if you’re putting together your own twin birth announcements from scratch.

When Should You Send Twin Birth Announcements?

Like with any card, you’ll want to get your mailing list together before you place the order so you know how many you need. Printing out some return address stickers beforehand (and buying some stamps!) is a great idea too, so that sending your announcements out is quick and easy!

Look how sweet these twin girls look in their matching swaddles:

But of course, if you have one of each, you may have contrasting swaddles instead:

Or you can use little signs to announce the names of each twin, like this photo did with the wooden cut-outs:

I love the idea of using name tags, too:

And if letter boards aren’t your thing, you can always just do name tags, like these custom tags you can get on Etsy:

Twin Announcement Photos With the New Parents or Big Siblings!

Another great photo idea is to include the proud twin parents or new big brother or sister! You can have each parent hold a twin, like this photo:

Or capture that tender moment when you first hold them in your arms:

Or show Mom in the background:

Or just Mom with a twin in each arm:

And then, of course, you can show big sister or brother holding their new siblings:
