Who wouldn't want to receive a luscious chocolate bar proclaiming a new baby has arrived happy and healthy? As the recipients bite into the delicious candy, they will be sure to appreciate the wonderful news. And, these close family and friends may think of your little blessing each time they indulge in a delicious chocolate treat.
A chocolate birth announcement contains the same general baby information as a more traditional announcement. The baby's name, date of birth, weight and length at birth, and the names of the parents are usually listed, perhaps along with the names of older siblings or even grandparents. This information is printed on a candy bar wrapper and wrapped around the delectable chocolate bar. However, simply listing the baby's pertinent data is usually not enough; parents can choose from a wide array of themes and images to include on the front or back of the candy wrapper.
Deciding on images to include on your announcement wrapper is a personal preference; how do you want your baby's announcement to look? Do you love animals? You can include pictures of smiling giraffes, their long necks looking down upon your baby's name, or cheerful puppies or kittens playing with little round balls. A classic yellow rubber ducky or snugly brown teddy bears are also popular images that remind recipients of their own childhoods. You may even be able to include a beautiful picture of your little one. Candy wrappers come in a wide variety of colors; you can choose a pastel pink for your little girl, a bold blue for a baby boy, or a sunny yellow for a more gender-neutral announcement. You may want a royal gold or silver announcement, or even a white or multi-colored card.
The baby's name is often prominently and largely displayed on the front of the wrappers. The back usually lists the other important information. Cute phrases, such as "serving size: one baby girl," along with ingredient lists and "manufactured in" cities are sure to cause laughter and smiles and add to the feeling of an authentic candy wrapper.
Should you purchase candy birth announcements, or should you create them by hand? Making this type of announcement would be time-consuming and challenging; therefore, many parents opt to purchase the chocolate bar wrappers. Search the Internet for sites that sell these adorable announcements. You may also order them from stationary stores or mail-order catalogs (advertisements can often be found in baby or pregnancy magazines). Some companies may even mail the announcements for you if you supply the addresses of your friends and family.
Sending candy birth announcements is the perfect way to celebrate the birth of your new baby and your love of chocolate at the same time. Although the treats cannot possibly be as sweet as your precious bundle of joy, they will still be sure to please.
