| I gave a nice baby shower gift although I couldn't attend the shower. Now I have received a birth notice. Am I expected to give another gift? I am not close to this family and they live 1000 miles away. |

| No, the birth notice is just sent to announce the baby has finally arrive, the name, and weight and such. You could send a gift if you want or bring one the next time you visit but there is no obligation. |

| i think its a personal choice really. they might just be letting you know they had their baby cos they think you'll be interested and happy for them. it doesnt mean they want a gift, so do what you feel is right |

| People who aren't the direct family typically do not give gifts for birth notices. Those are just a way to tell everyone that the baby has arrived. Most couples will send them out to whoever attended the shower or gave gifts. |

| No you don't need to send another gift at all they are suppose to send birth announcements out to everyone. |
