If  you have decided to place an order with Belly Tickles, but haven't had your baby just yet, pre-ordering envelopes is a smart idea because it will allow you to go ahead and address them to friends & family. If this is your first child, you will benefit from doing so ahead of time, because once the baby arrives, it's easy to become overwhelmed with all the craziness of being a first time mom. Pre-ordering will allow you to go ahead and address each one, and when you are ready to place your order, you will be able to apply a credit towards your order for the envelopes, so you won't be paying for them twice.
