Clean, refined, and effortlessly modern, the Richmond Ribbon Birth Announcement is defined by its classic sans serif typography — simple, confident, and beautifully balanced.
The uncluttered letterforms allow baby’s name to take center stage with clarity and intention. Free of ornamentation yet rich in presence, Richmond feels polished without being overly formal.
Finished with a hand-tied ribbon detail, this design offers heirloom presentation in a streamlined format without the mounted top card — substantial, timeless, and versatile.
Equally beautiful for boys and girls, Richmond is one of our most adaptable styles and carries seamlessly into personal stationery and milestone celebrations in the years ahead.
Many families choose to include a wallet-size photograph tucked inside the envelope rather than mounted. It’s often a more meaningful keepsake — something loved ones can frame or keep close.
Tip from Jody: This might be my favorite option for boys and girls alike. In Peony, it feels especially fresh and refined — proof that clean typography never goes out of style.
A modern classic designed to be treasured.
