Luke Connor Barrett has arrived.  That&#39;s him to your right ... sleeping.
</p>
<p>
Since
I know a mass email is not the right way to announce his arrival, I
have to purchase baby boy announcements to send to family and friends.
Sure I could walk into a stationery store on Madison Avenue and order
baby announcements for my newest arrival but I prefer using the time
that I am awake in the middle of the night catching up on work to also
do some baby product and gear shopping.
</p>
<p>
Whether you want baby
announcements with the little tots photo or some with adorable
illustrations and the perfect font, there are amazing baby
announcements available online.
</p>
<p>
Here are my picks for the best places online to find and order your baby announcements -
