My name is Jane O'Neill and the birth of my first born child, Molly inspired Babycards.ie. As a first time Mum I was so overwhelmed by the number of baby gifts received for my new baby girl from family and friends and also from people whom I didn't know very well! New baby gifts started arriving as soon as the happy news was announced and seemed to go on for weeks. Everyone was so generous my husband and I just wanted to thank everyone and a personalised baby card seemed the perfect way to do this.
At the time of my daughter's birth my husband ran his own digital print company so we set about making our own baby thank you cards. To add a personal touch to the card we included a cute baby photo of Molly surrounded by her teddies and a blanket. She was 5 weeks old when we created our cards and we were so delighted with the results we couldn't wait to send them out to friends and family.
The number of positive comments received about Molly's thank you card was phenomenal and the response was so unexpected. I thought if so many people liked the cards wouldn't it be a great idea if I could provide cards to other Mums and Dads. Whilst on maternity leave I set about doing some market research and to my surprise I found very few sites offering cards personalised with a photo.
A new business idea was conceived and Babycards.ie was born in 2004.
I have been on a fantastic journey as a new mum and been able to venture into the world of business. In addition, I have been able to combine motherhood and work and whilst sometimes there is a lot of juggling to be done the work/life balance overall is great. I receive a tremendous amount of satisfaction from my work and love providing a service in Ireland which helps other Mums and Dads. Our baby thank you cards and birth announcement cards have been professionally designed by a fellow Mum and are professionally printed using the latest digital print technology to ensure beautiful quality products.
The website is easy and convenient to use and our online proofing facility means you can view your card on screen before you place your order. It also means you can have a go at creating your cards in many different designs before deciding which is the cutest.
I hope you find the site fun and easy to use. I have tried to include all the relevant information on the website but if there is anything I have missed or if you would like to offer any feedback please email me at info@babycards.ie
