Airplane birth announcements perfectly compliment the arrival of our baby world traveler.
In an age of electronic everything, I'm a sucker for snail mail. Especially if the occasion is a happy one. So of course I had do so something to announce Oscar's arrival in an old school way. Sticking with the same inspiration for his nursery, we went with a retro travel inspired look.
Just like with all my mailings, I like to include a little treat (Agatha's birth announcements came with candy). This time it was a little balsa wood flyer. I admit I had never seen these before but they are fun to fly and race. Not sure who enjoys them more - the boys or their fathers!
So off they went on their little adventure along with a tag and photo, introducing our newest traveler.
Man, Stefanie. Could you get more creative??
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah!! These were so much easier to put together than Aggie's too.
DeleteI run out of superlatives reading your blog! What an incredibly adorable idea!
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet! Thank you.
DeleteSo cute! He was the same length and weight as my daughter!
ReplyDeleteLucky 7s!
DeleteHow did you print on the planes?
ReplyDeleteI considered printing on them directly but decided to have a rubber stamp made instead. Hope that helps.
DeleteWhat a great birth announcement! Love it. Vikki in VA
ReplyDeleteThese are the sweetest Stefanie! No doubt Oscar will enjoy many travel adventures ahead.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet - I always love your snail mail ideas! I might be prying way too much here but I always wonder approximately how many of these and your holiday cards you send out to family and friends? I imagine it adds up in time and money - but I'm sure the joy of sending outweighs the price!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty selective about who gets our mailings. I tend to limit it to about 50 people max. And that list is always changing b/c I'm super picky about who gets them! :)
DeleteThose are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWish I had your creativity.
We've been painting lately. Makes me happy. :-)

I love an old school mail announcement and this is just adorable. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the birth announcement tags---did you design these or order them online? I would love to use something similar for my son's announcement.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara. Yes they are my design and I had them professionally printed.
