Dressy, refined, and distinctly modern, our Primrose Layered Birth Announcement blends classic calligraphy with clean contemporary structure.
This design features elegant Spencerian-style calligraphy — a beautiful nod to old-school penmanship — paired thoughtfully with a crisp sans serif block font for the supporting details. The contrast creates balance: romantic and flowing at first glance, yet modern, legible, and tailored in execution.
Printed on luxurious, archival-quality paper and finished with a coordinating layered backing, Primrose is elevated further with a hand-tied ribbon detail. The dimensional construction gives the piece heirloom presence while the typography keeps it feeling current.
Especially lovely for baby girls, this announcement feels feminine without being overly traditional — polished, expressive, and subtly fashion-forward.
Tip from Jody: I love how the Spencerian script feels beautifully dressy, while the clean sans serif keeps everything fresh and easy to read. It’s such a lovely balance of old-world and modern.
A sophisticated introduction designed to feel both timeless and of the moment.
