If you are hosting a shower and want to send out some truly beautiful and custom invitations, check out www.tinyprints.com or http://www.tinyprints.com/baby-shower-invitations.htm. They are some of the most beautiful invitations I have seen.
For the mom who is excited to send out birth announcements, you can include a photo and all the information about your new baby. They offer an idea center to help you design a card but the process looks very intuitive. They offer free ground shipping and free address labels too for orders over $75. Its quite a bit more expensive than your traditional Hallmark "fill in the blank" card but its definitely a keepsake and, in my opinion, well worth the money.
