Graceful and traditionally feminine, the Surrey Ribbon Birth Announcement features elegant script typography designed to feel poised, classic, and enduring.
The flowing letterforms give baby’s name a soft yet confident presence, creating a look that is heirloom-inspired without feeling overly ornate. Finished with a hand-tied ribbon detail, this design offers timeless presentation in a clean format without the mounted top card.
Especially lovely for baby girls, Surrey carries quiet sophistication and effortless charm — refined today and just as beautiful decades from now.
Many families choose to include a small wallet-size photograph tucked into the envelope rather than mounted. It becomes a keepsake loved ones can frame or keep close long after the announcement is saved.
Tip from Jody: I especially love Surrey in Peony, Slate, or Pink Mauve. Each color brings a slightly different mood — soft and romantic or tailored and chic.
A timeless introduction designed to grow beautifully with her.
