Your birth announcement
Design one here, or upload a design you already have.
This is how the card will look. Screen colours always differ a little from printed paper — order a sample card if you want to be sure.
Template
De naam groot, de gegevens rustig eronder.
The press cannot set these characters: —. Could you replace them with plain letters? Otherwise they drop off the printed card.

How it works
- We never invent an address
- If a postcode or house number is missing, we ask you. We never guess — a guessed address is a card that never reaches someone who was waiting for it.
- You see every address before you pay
- Your list is read automatically, but you always see it as a table and can correct every line. Nothing is printed before you agree.
- Your names on the envelope, not ours
- Envelopes go out blank: no sender stamp, no printer’s logo. What the recipient opens comes from you.
- Delivery
- We print with priority and hand the cards to PostNL. Expect one to two working days within the Netherlands. We do not promise an exact delivery day — that is PostNL’s call.
Frequently asked questions
When should birth announcements be sent?
Most parents send them within two weeks of the birth. You can prepare the design in advance and only order once the name, date and measurements are known — after the birth it is then a matter of filling in and sending.
How many cards do I need?
Count households, not people. Most parents end up between 40 and 100. Add a few spares: addresses always turn up that you had not thought of.
Can I put a photo on the card?
The templates here work with text and shapes, not photos. If you want a photo, have the design made by a designer or in software of your choice and upload it as a PDF — we print and send that.
Do I need a print-ready design?
No. You can design your birth announcement here: pick a template, fill in the text and you see the result change as you type. If you already have a print-ready PDF from a designer, you can upload that instead.
How do I supply my address list?
Paste it, or upload an Excel or CSV file. It does not have to be tidy — a column from an old address book, a block of text from a document or a few lines typed by hand all work. We turn it into separate address fields and show you the result as a table you can correct.
What happens if an address is incomplete?
We flag it and ask you. We never complete an address ourselves, and never guess a postcode: a guessed address means a card that does not arrive, and you would only find out far too late. You cannot order until every flagged line has been filled in.
Who sends the cards — you or me?
We do. Each card is printed, put in an envelope, franked and handed to PostNL as a separate item addressed to that recipient. You do not stick, write or post anything.
Is your name on the envelope?
No. Envelopes go out blank: no sender stamp and no printer's logo. What the recipient opens comes from you.
How do I pay, and when are the cards printed?
By iDEAL or credit card, handled by Stripe. Nothing is printed until the payment succeeds. Spot a mistake straight after ordering? Email us — as long as a card is not on the press, we can hold it.
Can I see a card before the whole batch goes out?
Yes. Tick the sample card option and one extra card goes to your own address alongside the rest. If you want to see it before the others leave, place an order for just the sample card first.
Can you send abroad?
Yes. Put the country in your address list and we handle it. Delivery outside the Netherlands takes longer and costs more than domestic post.
