He's the D.J., I'm the wrapper
Hopefully, I'm not dating myself too much with the reference to the classic Will Smith rap album from 1988, "He's the DJ, I' m the Rapper." Yeah, you know the one with the song, "Parents Just Don't Understand."
Little Elvis is almost three weeks old, and I have yet to send out baby announcements. Before you think I'm the world's biggest slacker, let the record show that thank-you notes have been sent to those who sent gifts for the baby. In fact, they weren't just cards, but were customized postcards with the baby's picture and a hearty "Thank you . . . Thank you very much" from Little Elvis.
However, I've been a little behind in creating baby announcements. Meredith came up with the idea to use Hershey's candy bars (she'd seen it several times before), but rather than ordering them (just do a Google search and you'll find plenty of options), she knew that her cheapskate husband would want to make his own.
She was right -- it has just been a matter of finding time to design the Word document (mine is about 5" wide and 5 1/2" long), printing the wrappers and assembling the final packaging. Now it's a matter of getting them into the mail before the warmth of Spring rolls around (I don't want the announcements to melt en route).
What creative ideas do you have for baby announcements?
