This is how it works – personal, clear and with attention
Ordering birth announcements from Story of July is personalized and editor-free. No quick input fields, but a careful process where we work together to find the perfect fit for you and your little one. This guide will take you step by step, so you know exactly what to expect.
Choose a design that suits you
It all starts with choosing a design. In our collection, you'll find birth announcements with a timeless look, soft colors, and illustrations that allow room for a personal story. Each design is intended as a foundation: a starting point that we can further refine together.
A digital layout is always possible . This way, we can visualize the chosen design for you, keeping your wishes in mind. We always discuss the feasibility of all your wishes in consultation . We collaborate with you, provide honest advice, and let you know what works well within the design—and what might not.

One type of paper as a basis, shapes are negotiable
We work with a single type of paper as our core business . This choice was a conscious one. The paper perfectly complements our designs, allows colors to pop beautifully, and ensures a smooth, high-quality end result. By using a single type of paper, we can maintain quality and keep the process streamlined.
That doesn't mean everything is set in stone. Options like folded birth announcements or other variations are always open for discussion. Do you have a specific request? Let us know, and we'll work together to find what's suitable and feasible.
Get an impression with samples
Would you like to see the card in person first? You can order a sample with fictitious information . This sample is printed with sample names and texts and gives you a good idea of the size, paper, colors, and look of our birth announcements.
The sample is not a proof of your own card, but is intended to give you a chance to experience what a Story of July card looks and feels like.

Order birth announcements in advance or after the birth
You can pre-order birth announcements from Story of July, for example, during pregnancy. This gives you peace of mind: the design is already ready, and after the birth, you only need to provide the final details. Think of name, date of birth, time, and weight. You can easily provide this information later using our form.
Would you rather order birth announcements after the birth? That's also possible. We'll discuss what's feasible together and guide you through the process.
Submit your wishes and details
When ordering, you can indicate what you'd like to see changed. For example:
-
name and birth details
-
a personal text or quote
-
address details or visitor information
-
minor adjustments in typography, order or layout
You don't need to know exactly what you want something to look like. Feel free to describe what you have in mind. We'll work with you and contact you if something isn't possible or if we see a better suggestion.
Personal layout & approval
After receiving your information, we'll carefully create your birth announcement. We don't use an automated editor : each card is manually designed and reviewed.
Once the digital layout is ready, we'll discuss it with you. Only after you've given your approval will the birth announcement go to print. This way, you can be sure everything is perfect—from spelling and order to appearance and details. If you need any minor adjustments, we'll make sure to include them.
Printing and shipping
After you've given your approval, the birth announcements go to print. We work with trusted printing partners who know our quality and designs. The result is a birth announcement that you not only see, but also feel.
After printing, the cards are carefully packaged and shipped to you as soon as possible.
Order birth announcements with peace of mind
When you order birth announcements from Story of July, you're choosing personalized service, clear choices, and a seamless process. A single paper type, digital layouts in consultation, and samples with fictitious information ensure clarity and confidence—without the stress of making a choice.
