birth announcements

New arrival notices

Birth announcements are formal notices declaring the arrival of a new baby, typically sharing the child's name, birth date, weight, and parents' names.

Traditionally sent as printed cards to family and friends, they now often appear on social media: We're sending out birth announcements next week.

The term also covers the announcements section in newspapers where such notices are published.
