Page 1: The Stats

Include a picture of your little one from the day they were born and the stats from a typical birth announcement:

• Name
• Date & time
• Weight & length

Although not on a typical birth announcement, we suggest that you also include:

• ​City
• Hospital name

Page 2: The week you were born

This page should list for the week your little one was born:

#1 movie
#1 song
#1 children’s book

Also include any major headline that happened the week your little one was born. If it was a slow news week, you could include a statistic – the price of a gallon of gas or the high and low temperature in the city they were born.

2nd to last page: The week you turned one
