Sweet and timeless, the Heath Motif Birth Announcement features our hand-drawn duck illustration paired with a classic serif font. The motif brings softness and warmth to the design, making it especially perfect for welcoming a new baby.
The gentle detailing of the ducks feels nostalgic and tender — charming without being overly decorative. The typography remains clean and traditional, allowing baby’s name to feel balanced and composed beneath the illustration.
Printed on luxurious 120# Italian laid paper in a soft creamy white, the 3.5 x 4.875" size feels intimate and keepsake-worthy — a beautiful scale for preserving in a baby book for years to come.
Hand engraving is available for those who appreciate added texture and depth. The engraved impression creates a subtle raised finish and a richness in ink tone that enhances the heirloom quality of this sweet design. Flat printing offers a clean and equally lovely alternative.
Heath is especially fitting for gender-neutral baby announcements and first children alike. The motif feels classic and Southern in the most understated way.

What Makes This an Heirloom Announcement
Tip from Jody: We are naturally drawn to the blues and greens for Heath — they feel classic and traditional. But Pink Mauve with this motif would be so chic and unexpected.
