New Birth Announcement Designs!

To kick of 2008 we just added new photo birth announcement designs to both our boy and girl birth announcements galleries.

Our newest birth announcement designs reflect the fun and unique style of the current trends. We incorporated fresh color palates and subtle backgrounds in many of our new designs. We also added elegant monograms on several designs to add a classic look.

We are looking forward to welcoming 2008 by adding many new products and designs on a regular basis. Check back soon for even more new birth announcement and photo invitation designs.

As always if you don’t find what you are looking for please contact us about a custom design.

Holiday card solutions for last minute shoppers.

It is not too late to order traditional photo cards from Addie Kate Creations. We do not have an official "deadline" but cannot guarantee that orders will arrive before Christmas if ordered after December 15Th.

We do have a variety of options though that can help you out if you are still waiting to take holiday card pictures.

Our print at home option is a great last minute choice. You provide your pictures and we customize your holiday photo card, birth announcement or invitation. After we have designed a proof that is exactly what you are looking for we will e-mail you a high resolution file of the photo card. You can print this file at a one hour photo lab and have your card in your hands the same day!

Another way to beat the clock is our full service mailing option. You send us your excel address list and once your proof is approved we will mail your holiday photo cards for you within two business days. Talk about hassle free!

Our traditional photo cards still feature a fast turnaround time. After we receive your pictures we provide a proof within 24 hours. After the proof is approved we will ship your photo card order within 2 business days.

Ideas for Holiday card pictures

Every year I have a great time coming up with a new fun idea for a Christmas card photo. I decided to compile a list of all the great ideas I've used and seen on others holiday photo cards.



Baby with Christmas lights

Place your baby or toddler on a dark background with a lighted string of Christmas lights to look at. Turn of all lights and utilize the natural light available. Take lots of photos of your baby looking at the lights. (Disclaimer- Christmas lights contain some lead so do not let your child put them in their mouth and wash your child's hands thoroughly after your photo shoot).



Santa's Cookies

Take a picture of your child in their holiday outfit "stealing" Santa's cookies. You can caption your holiday photo card to say "I'm sorry Santa". Or a similar fun saying.



Naughty and Nice

Pick a collage holiday card design and feature one photo of your child smiling sweetly and one photo of your child mad (we all have those!).

Christmas wreath

Take a close up of your child peering through the middle of a Christmas wreath. This makes for a beautiful, simple photo for any of our individual picture holiday cards.

Our Christmas Gift came early

This is a great idea for to use on a holiday birth announcement. Place your baby in a large box to appear it was unwrapped.

Ho Ho Ho

Place your baby in the bathtub with a Santa hat on. Put bubbles on your babies face as a beard. Too cute!

These are just a few ideas to get you started. Have fun capturing that perfect moment!
