to think I should be able to find a classic birth announcement template on the internet?

No added teddies, flowers, hearts, dolls, angels, scrolls etc required...

Just want to upload a photo of my newborn, print her name underneath and have it sent to me as a postcard x 50.

I think the High Street printing outfits could do that for you.

eg ProntaPrint or KallKwik.

Yes, probably, but then would have to drag my newborn and 2 yo monster DS into an actual shop, and that's best avoided at present .

My guess is that you could email them the material?

Vistaprint have some simple designs here

try photobox. they have some basic ones or you can design your own with photo and text.
