What do you think?
We are ordering birth announcements from the photographer that took our amazing pictures. My MIL has given me a hard time because we haven't sent any out yet and I explained we wanted to send out these wonderful pictures. So here is the thing, who do we send these to? I mean we send them to our family and then how far out do we go from there? We could easily send out 100 but we aren't going to. Where do you draw the line? Do we send them to our parents' friends? I just don't want to offend anyone, but I was trying to keep it under 40 because that is about $100 and I want to use my money on pictures not announcements that aren't going to be kept or will be stuck away somewhere. I will happily send out the old hand written kind, but again I'm not sure who should get them. I mean my coworkers don't need them right? I will send them to my very good friends who happen to be coworkers, but still. I don't want to get in trouble yet again at work. If you haven't seen a friend in three or four years do you need to send one to them? I just want to do what is right, but again I don't want to be wasteful of my picture money. We are struggling with what we want to order because we are wanting a crazy number of pictures. The thing I keep telling my husband is that if we do this with Jake then if we have another baby we need to do it for that child as well. We each were that second child and his parents did a lot better than mine. But I think because he was a boy and their first was a daughter, where as I was the second daughter it wasn't as big of a deal. My mom recently gave me my baby book. There was not one thing written in it. Not one. Anyway, I just don't want to go crazy with these pictures because we are going to have lots of pictures over time. We just know these are SO special and really good.

I would send announcements to my christmas card list. Although if you are on a budget i would send out two different types. Could you just send one announcement to your work crew?
This is a tough one. I didn't go crazy with mine because I wanted to send them to our entire list. If the pictures are amazing and you can afford to splurge then go ahead. He's a star!
I realized every time I took my son to get professional pics done that I'd fall in love with a photo and order a bunch, only to leave them in the frames for 3-4 months tops and then we'd do it again! Seeing as though these are his first professional photos...you may want too....
I'm super helpful, huh?
Can you post one for us to see? :) He's a cutie from the ones you do have up!
