Shop / Birth announcement poster

The day they arrived, on one sheet

Their name, the date and time, the weight and length, and what the name means. Type it in, pick one of 3 looks, print it. £2.99.

Welcome to the worldNamebabynamesarena.com

The watermark comes off when you buy.

First name, or first and middle. We fill in the meaning for any of 35,000 names.

2. The day

Fill in what you want shown. Leave a box empty and that line is left off.

3. Pick the look

Serif type on soft paper, a thin rule, nothing else. The one that goes in a frame.

4. Print it

Card payment on Stripe's page, then your poster, clean, to print at home or save as a PDF for a print shop, and a link by email to keep.
Free, to see it on paper first.

The one everybody makes, done properly

You know the print: the name, the date, the weight in a neat little grid. Everybody has one, and most of them were bought from a stranger on Etsy for twelve pounds and arrived a fortnight later. This one is on your wall tonight, it says what the name means underneath, and it costs less than the postage on the other kind. Make one for the grandparents while you are at it.

Only what you want on it

Some people want the time to the minute. Some would rather forget it. Every box is optional and the poster rearranges itself around what you fill in, so a name and a date on their own look just as finished as the full set.

Questions

How much is it?
£2.99, any name, any look. Card payment on Stripe's secure page (Apple Pay and Google Pay work too), then the poster appears without the watermark, ready to print, and a link to it is emailed to you to keep. Print a free watermarked test copy first if you want to see it on paper.
What goes on it?
The name, a heading ("Welcome to the world" unless you change it), the date, the time, the weight, the length, and what the name means. Every one of those is optional except the name. Leave a box empty and that line is left off; the layout closes up around what is there.
Pounds or kilos? Inches or centimetres?
Whatever you type. The boxes are plain text, so "7lb 4oz", "3.3kg", "51cm" and "20 inches" all work, and so does "a very long night" in the time box if that is how it went.
Where does the meaning come from?
The same place as the name pages on this site, and we only offer one when we are confident of it. If we are not, the box arrives empty and you can write what the name means to your family, or leave it off.
What size is it?
A4, as a vector file, so a print shop can print the PDF at A3 or bigger and it stays sharp. Choose "Save as PDF" in the print window to get the file. It makes a good gift printed on card and framed.

Also in the shop

The name meaning poster on its own, in the same looks, and the name banner, one big letter per sheet with an animal on each. Everything in the shop.
