For parents who have just recently welcomed a child into the world, birth announcements are tremendously useful. They serve as an effective way to get the word out about the birth of your child to your friends and family members. You have loads of options to choose from in birth announcements, from the classic to the whimsical. If you are looking for a way to spread the news in as memorable a way as possible however, you may want to consider your options in photo birth announcements.
As you may have guessed from the name, photo birth announcements are simply birth announcements that feature photos of your little angel. This simple addition is often just the thing you need to make your announcement stand out from the crowd. You have heard of the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" and that is particularly fitting for photo birth announcements. No matter how verbose you are, words simply wont do justice to how cute your baby looks. Besides, you wont have nearly enough space in the typical birth announcement to describe just how precious your little tyke is!
You dont actually need very much in order to create your photo birth announcements at home, with a standard computer, printer and the necessary software being more than enough to do a good job. Of course you do have to be aware of a few things that can affect the final appearance of the photo.
A key factor to consider is the resolution in which the image is reproduced. You have probably seen several photo birth announcements printed at home using the above mentioned setup wherein the photo leaves a lot to be desired in terms of clarity. In most such cases, the creator of the announcement probably used a very low resolution. For the best possible image reproduction, it is essential that you use the highest appropriate resolution whether you are taking the picture or scanning it into your computers image editing program. That being said, using a too high resolution isnt necessarily the best way to go either, as overly high resolution pictures can eat up too much of your computers resources and possibly even cause it to grind to a halt. In general, setting your camera or scanner to capture at 250 dpi to 300 dpi should be enough to get you great looking results in a typical consumer printer.
Another important factor is the paper that you print on. As affordable and readily available as they are, you will want to avoid using ordinary copy paper since they are too thin for most purposes. You should instead print your photo birth announcements on papers that are specifically intended for clear photo reproduction.
