Getting more from these captions

Decide how much you want to share
Some families avoid posting the baby's face or full name. A hand, a foot or a shadow on a blanket is a lovely alternative.
Write the caption early
Nights after a birth are a blur. Draft your announcement and save it so you only add the name, date and photo.
Announce after family is told
Grandparents and close relatives should hear first. Post after you have called them, and keep the hospital details out of the caption.

Questions

What would you write in a birth announcement?

The baby's name if you want to share it, the date and one line about how it feels. Keep it short.

What works as a good caption for a newborn photo?

Something short that matches the picture, like "Tiny hands, huge love." A funny line about sleep also works.

How do I write about a naming ceremony?

Mention who gathered and what the name means. A warm line with one photo is enough.
