Bakery Baby Announcements

This Fun Pregnancy Announcement Appears to be Freshly Baked

— February 6, 2015 — Lifestyle
This fun pregnancy announcement idea created by LittleElephantCrafts on Etsy is an awesome way to surprise loved ones with good news. Although this message could easily be relayed in person or through a card, this boxed announcement makes a delightful treat for the eyes that's out of the ordinary.

The inside of the small box comes printed with "Bun in the oven," a message which is supported by an adorable bun that's been sculpted from salt dough. To add to the surprise, LittleElephantCrafts also includes a slot where a custom paper message can be added in. The neutrally-colored boxes are wrapped in raffa ribbon, which is a clever way to ensure that the outside of the box doesn't hint at anything to do with babies or pregnancy.
Trend Themes
1. Personalized Pregnancy Announcements - Creating personalized and unique pregnancy announcements using creative materials like salt dough presents opportunities to disrupt the traditional announcement methods.
2. Surprise Gift Announcements - Using unexpected gift formats, such as a boxed announcement, to surprise loved ones with good news provides potential for innovative gifting experiences.
3. Non-traditional Baby Reveals - Exploring non-traditional ways to reveal pregnancies, such as through baked goods, offers scope for disruption within the realm of baby announcements.
Industry Implications
1. Handmade Crafts - The handmade crafts industry can seize the opportunity to create and sell unique pregnancy announcement materials and kits.
2. Gifting - The gifting industry can capitalize on the trend of surprise gift announcements by offering specialized, customizable gift products and services for various occasions.
3. Bakery and Confectionery - Bakeries and confectionery shops can explore new possibilities in offering customized baby announcement treats, expanding their products beyond traditional baked goods.
