The introduction can be said in many different ways. Or you can skip it all together. Here are a few bitten and a few original ideas:
"It is our pleasure to announce the birth/arrival of"
"With joy in our hearts we welcome the birth/arrival of"
"We are proud/pleased/excited/overjoyed to announce the birth/arrival of"
"Without further ado"
"Someone new to love"
"And baby makes three (plus our dog)"
"At long last, she/he has arrived"
"We've expanded our family be two feet"
"We've added a branch to the family tree"
"Oh boy! Oh boy! It's a girl!!!"
"We welcome with love our new daugher/son"
"A new little YOUR LAST NAME has arrived"
