I recently had a baby and am sending out birth announcements. I am also planning on sending out Christmas cards. Would it be OK to mail out the 2 together to save on postage since both will be going to the same set of 50 people?

I don't see what's wrong with that. At least, I wouldn't feel offended if I were one of the recipients.

I don't think it's tacky, but I would still keep them separate. Maybe I'm just overly sensitive since I am a true Christmas baby, but the birth of a child should be a special event separate from Christmas. And it doesn't make too much sense to me since your due date is a whole month away from Christmas. If you have your child on time, that's the perfect excuse to send out an announcement with the birth of your child with photos, and then a separate Christmas card with more pictures for all those relatives to enjoy! Edit: You could send them together, or just send them at the same time. I had some friends that did that. They had their son in November and sent out a birth announcement and a week later sent out Christmas cards with a picture of the whole family and it was a "baby's first Christmas" themed card.

Either way is okay. If you send the birth announcements, then a Christmas card later it would be okay, or you could write a Christmas letter to include in the cards and mention the Birth of the baby, and include a small picture. Congratulations and Merry Christmas!

A close friend of mine did this. She had postcards made that were both a Christmas card and a birth announcement (had details on the baby, and said mother and baby both wish you a very Merry Christmas, or something of that nature). I thought they were very nice.

yes it is ok to do just as long as you are not sending a shower or thank you note for the baby along with you cards. if it will be a simple birth anouncement along with a card its ok or even get a new family picture an say merry chrismas from our family to yours jim stacy an baby dillon 12/3/2006.

I cannot imagine anyone having an issue with them being sent together. If you are really worried about it:
~ you could put them in seperate envelopes, placing them in a larger mailer envelope.
~or you could create a greeting that wishes them joy, and shares your news.
Bottom line:
I think you have a certain amount of leeway with friends and family; but if it is going to keep you awake, the postage is probably a small price to pay.
Congratulations and Merry Christmas!

Umm.. yes but maybe include a picture of the baby or the baby and you. That would be a lot nicer then just sending out the two using one stamp.

Yes !!! Send them together. Isn't Christmas about Joy and Birth? Maybe not your baby's birth, but it is such a joyful occasion. All your loved ones will be thrilled !
Congratulations!

Better still just add the infor/announcement to the Christmas card.
