Tiny Prints for Baby Shower Invitations and Birth Announcements
Baby Invitations, Baby Pictures, Baby Shower, Birth Announcements, Reviews
If you have a baby, are having a baby, or are giving a shower for someone having a baby, you’ve probably heard of Tiny Prints. Perhaps the most popular online company for baby stationery products, their reputation is well-earned.
Available Features
The selection alone makes Tiny Prints stand out. I had a difficult time deciding which images to share on this review, because so many caught my eye. From classic to contemporary to chic and then some, the only trouble you may encounter at Tiny Prints is choosing your favorite. Setting Tiny Prints apart is a commitment to this selection process. From the frequently asked questions page comes this claim, “We are obsessed with finding the finest, highest quality stationery cardstock that is unique, simple and modern. …Tiny Prints sends seasoned buyers all over the country to source truly unique products that match current trends and styles. …Almost every design that you see on Tiny Prints is exclusive to us and cannot be found anywhere else.”
For the green conscious shoppers (and shouldn’t we all be?) many choices are offered on recycled paper.
A feature that I found clever is the Pre-Ship Envelope Service, whereby you may order your and receive your envelopes then personalize your card when you’re ready. This service would be an exceptional idea for soon-to-be parents to choose the design for birth announcements, order their envelopes before the baby (otherwise known as the blessed tornado) arrives, then finalize the photo and text after the baby comes.
User Friendliness and Support features
Offering quick views for each selection makes browsing faster. Detailed instructions for photo uploads and personalization in the Tiny Prints Personalization Suite aid in making the right choices of images and text
As for support, customer service is available by live-chat or telephone Monday - Friday from 6 a.m. - 8 p.m. and Sunday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., PST You may e-mail outside business hours and expect a response within 1 business day.
Processing and Shipping
If you’re shopping for birth announcements, let me call your attention once again to the Pre-Ship Envelope Service. Particularly if this is your first child, I urge you to do everything you can in advance! The early days of bringing home baby will exceed your wildest imaginings in wonderful and not so wonderful ways. That said, processing time for a regular order is 4-5 business days, with 3 day processing offered for a $5 charge. Shipping options range from standard ground to next-day air for the continental United States. Alaska and Hawaii residents may choose from 2nd-day or next-day service.
Pricing
Tiny Prints packs quite a bang for the buck seventy-five. Most birth announcements cost $1.74, although some start at $1.09. Invitations are around $1.25. Once you see the selection and snoop around the customer service and testimonial areas, I believe you’ll be thrilled with the value.
Tiny Prints offers a lowest price guarantee for easier shopping. The policy states that Tiny Prints will happily match the price of a competitor’s item, including shipping, that meets the following criteria: competitor’s item must be identical, by the same designer, and in stock.
I’m a big believer in do-it-yourself projects, but I couldn’t clip-art and ink-jet my way to baby stationery this lovely. If you’re in the market for baby shower invites or birth announcements, let your keystrokes do the walking to Tiny Prints. Happy Hunting.

I was recently looking for some great birth announcements and like many parents, came across TinyPrints. I do like them, but they seem expensive and there are so many other companies out there that do a better job, offer more and at a cheaper price. Just a couple you might want to look at:
