When I picked out my birth announcements, I certainly needed to take my time. I am picky in all things, especially important ones. There is nothing in this world that is more important than presenting a good appearance to friends, colleagues, and anyone you might pass on the street, and whether it is clothes or baby announcements, appropriate care must be taken to pick out just the perfect thing. Fortunately, the internet was chock full of baby birth announcements, and so there was an adequate selection to satisfy even the most demanding consumer, such as myself.

Yet, after hours and hours at the computer, I could not find quite the perfect baby announcements. A lot of them had that perfect cutesy bubbly lettering, some of them even embossed, and they had those adorable pictures of little boys in blue diapers playing with kitties and balloons, but none of these letters seemed to express the full extent of my emotions, although they did come close. I had thought that I would have to compromise and settle for some second rate baby announcements, when I saw it – the perfect one.
