Romantic and refined, the Mayfair Ribbon Birth Announcement is defined by its flowing script typography — graceful, timeless, and beautifully balanced.
The elegant letterforms give baby’s name a soft yet confident presence, creating a look that feels heirloom-inspired without being overly ornate. Finished with a hand-tied ribbon detail, this design offers classic presentation in a clean format without the mounted top card.
Especially lovely for baby girls, Mayfair carries an enduring elegance that never feels tied to a particular trend. It is a style families often return to for milestone celebrations and wedding invitations in years to come.
Many choose to include a small wallet-size photograph tucked into the envelope rather than mounted — a meaningful keepsake loved ones can frame or save.
Tip from Jody: This is one of my favorite fonts for wedding invitations. How special to begin her story with the same typography you may one day use again.
A timeless and romantic introduction.
