Poem for birth announcement: let love speak in a few words
A birth announcement is more than an announcement. It is a small work of art full of love, in which you give something of yourself. A poem for a birth announcement makes it even more personal. A few lines can say more than a hundred words. Especially if they are warm, small and loving — as Toon Hermans could do so beautifully.
Why a poem for a birth announcement adds so much
A poem for a birth announcement gives feeling to paper. It makes your birth announcement not only more beautiful, but also memorable. You can say a lot with a simple sentence. Simplicity is where the power lies. Think of a soft thought, a warm smile in words — as if the verse is looking at you and saying: “Welcome little one”.
In my designs for birth announcements there is always room for a poem for birth announcement. Whether it is your own text or a verse inspired by someone else's text, the choice is yours.
Where can you find a poem for a birth announcement in that warm, tender style?
Many parents are looking for a poem for a birth announcement that is soft, sincere and timeless. In the style of Toon Hermans, for example, who captured love so beautifully. Think of short sentences, simple words and a lot of feeling. For example:
"You came quietly
and brought light."
Such a poem for birth announcement is small, but feels big. Of course you can also get started yourself. In my blogs about birth announcements I share more examples and inspiration.
How do you incorporate a poem for a birth announcement into the design?
You can place a poem for a birth announcement in different places:
-
At the top
Place the verse directly at the top of the card as a soft introduction. -
On the left inside of the birth announcement
This side of a birth announcement often only contains the parents' name and address details, so there is plenty of room for a poem to stand out beautifully. -
On the back
Let the poem break away from the rest and let it speak for itself.
My birth announcements with illustrations are designed in such a way that there is room for a sweet, playful or cool poem.
Which type of birth announcement poem suits your style?
The atmosphere of your birth announcement determines which type of birth announcement poem suits it:
-
A calm, minimalist card requires a subdued text.
-
A light, playful verse is just right for a cheerful card with illustrations.
-
And with a classic design, a poetic, loving poem really comes into its own.
Many of my designs are suitable for a soft and friendly poem for the birth announcement in a warm, recognizable tone of the parents.
Writing a poem for a birth announcement yourself? It really is possible
Are you thinking: but I'm not a poet? That's okay. A good poem for a birth announcement doesn't have to rhyme or be complicated. Think about what you feel, what you want to give your child, or what the moment of birth was like for you. An example:
“Very small,
but you fill our days
with everything.”
Or:
“The sun came out.
That's you.”
In these sentences you hear the softness that is so beloved in birth poems. Exactly the kind of language that stays close to your heart.
Make your birth announcement unforgettable with a personal poem
A poem for a birth announcement leaves something behind. For family and friends, but also for your child later. Those few lines can stick for a lifetime. Whether you choose an existing verse in the style of a famous poet, or write something yourself: it makes your birth announcement unforgettable.
