Aloha and congratulations on your new arrival!

The Honolulu Advertiser invites you to announce the birth of your new baby in the Island Life section of the Sunday newspaper and on our Web site.

You can mail your announcement to The Advertiser via one of the addresses below or fax it to 535-8170. Feel free to attach additional pages or a copy of an invitation. No street addresses or telephone numbers will be published or given out; they are requested for verification purposes only.

IMPORTANT: You must attach a photocopy of your baby's official state-issued birth certificate; we cannot print your announcement without it.

You can also submit your celebration announcement using our online form.

The Advertiser publishes announcements up to six months after the baby's birth. Only parents named on the birth certificate can be mentioned. At least one parent must be a current or former Hawai'i resident or Hawai'i-stationed military member.

Here's the legal stuff: All submissions may be edited for length, accuracy and clarity. By submitting a photograph and/or announcement information, you grant The Honolulu Advertiser the right to publish, distribute, archive and otherwise use the photograph and information, in whole or in part, in print, electronic or any other media and for promotional purposes related to The Advertiser's products and services. In addition, you represent that you have the right to authorize The Advertiser to use the photograph and information submitted.
