How much should I budget for birth announcements?

Most families send between 30 and 75 printed birth announcements, so the budget is modest and driven more by paper and finishing than by sheer quantity.

• Prioritize paper thickness and print quality over ordering a huge count.
• Standard stock keeps costs low while still looking clean.
• Specialty finishes like foil or soft-touch add a premium feel for a small upcharge.
• Order a few extras as keepsakes for the family album.
• Factor in envelopes and postage if you plan to mail them.
