      Write a headline above or to the left of the baby's name and birth information. Decide if you want the announcement formal or casual. For a formal announcement, write something such as, "We are pleased to announce the birth of our son..." or "Announcing the arrival of our new baby boy."

      For a more casual announcement, you can express more emotion with messages such as "He's here" or "Look who's finally arrived!" You can also word the announcement as if it is written by the baby with a message such as, "Hi everyone, my name is..." and continue with his name and birth information.
