A couple we hang out are about to have their second child over the next couple of weeks. We were talking about the cost of having another baby in the house. There are so many things to consider and so many ways to cut down on the cost of having a new baby. I am going to look into finding some articles and suggestions more in depth.

The first thing we were talking about was baby announcements. It doesn't seem like much but if you have a big family the postage and mailing can add up. I suggested finding a free webspace page like wordpress, myspace, facebook and making up a birth announcement page complete with information, pictures and comments for your friends and family to fill out. You can always email the link to your friends and family.

If you want, get the traditional mail outs and send them to your immediate family. You can always email everyone else and save a few bucks.
