Graceful and traditionally feminine, the Surrey Motif Birth Announcement features elegant script typography designed to feel poised and enduring. The flowing letterforms give baby’s name a soft yet confident presence — refined today and just as beautiful decades from now.
Surrey feels timeless without being ornate. The script brings movement and romance, while the overall layout remains balanced and composed.
Printed on luxurious 120# Italian laid paper in a soft creamy white, the 3.5 x 4.875" size feels intimate and heirloom-worthy — a keepsake scale designed to be preserved.
Hand engraving is available for those who appreciate added depth and richness in ink tone. The engraved impression creates a subtle raised finish that enhances the heirloom quality of the piece. Flat printing offers a crisp and elegant alternative.
For families who would like to include a photograph, a traditional wallet-size photo can be tucked into the envelope alongside the announcement — a sweet and practical addition loved ones can frame or keep.
Surrey is especially lovely for girls and is a font many families choose to carry forward into calling cards, personal stationery, and even future wedding invitations — a design selected at birth that grows with her.
Explore coordinating pieces from the Surrey Collection, including calling cards, personal stationery, cups, and napkins designed to carry this style through life’s milestones.
