I came across this thread on Apple's discussion boards which discusses how to customize Apple's built in 'Baby Announcement' Mail.app template to make it pink (because the built in template is surprisingly only available in blue)

The method suggested for customizing the template is more than I believe I can pull off on my own, and unfortunately the link the OP provides at the bottom of his original post where people can download the customized template he pre-made is no longer valid.

My wife is due to give birth in about 1 week (which means she could deliver at any day really). We don't know the sex of the baby...If it's a boy we'll be fine using the built in template as is, but if it's a girl, we're screwed and my bright idea on how we could save some money and at the same time be a bit more 'Green' by not sending out snail-mail baby announcements is likely to wind up coming back to bite me in the ***!

Any help with putting together a pink version of the baby announcement template would be really really really appreciated... Thanks!

Personally, I had my baby announcements printed up, afterwards. I waited until after the birth so I can send out the appropriate color and I also included a picture of the wee one.

Here's a quick "pinkification". should just have to put this file somewhere and double click it--after you unzip it of course. Mail will open up a blank new message using it.

edit:: I forgot to change the blue font to pink, but that can be done easily in Mail.
