Expressive and refined, the Primrose Photo Ribbon Birth Announcement pairs elegant Spencerian-style calligraphy with clean, structured typography for a look that feels both timeless and modern. The flowing script adds romance and movement, while the crisp supporting type keeps the design balanced and beautifully legible.
Designed to feature a traditional wallet-size photograph in a horizontal layout, Primrose allows the portrait and typography to complement one another naturally. The calligraphy brings softness and personality, while the photograph adds warmth and intimacy.
Finished with a hand-tied ribbon detail, this announcement offers a graceful, heirloom-inspired presentation in a clean and tailored format. The ribbon adds subtle dimension without competing with the photograph or the script.
Especially lovely for baby girls, Primrose feels feminine and polished — expressive yet refined.
Tip from Jody: I love this one with a simple, bright photo and letting the script do the rest. It feels dressy without being too much.
A beautifully composed introduction to your newest arrival.
