I don't think I have talked about that on here yet. When a baby is born here, the parents send out fancy birth cards ASAP (as in the day the child is born or the next day). The cards normally take many hours to make and match the little gifts (called doopsuiker -click for examples) they also make to give to anyone who gives them a gift...make sense? You give a gift and they give in return a little something that normally says the child's name. It's cute and nice, but takes a huge amount of time to prepare and costs a lot.
Gefeliciteerd!! (congrats ;-) )

Though we'd have "beschuit met muisjes" -- either pink ones for a girl or blue for a boy (http://www.google.com/images?q=beschuit+met+muisjes)
5he's sweet! I like the tradition they do there...although like you said, it's a lot of work!!!
