Want to get your own card from the White House greetings office? These are the instructions I followed (I did the snail mail route):
Once your baby is born, mail your request to:
White House Greetings Office
Room 39
Washington, DC 20500
Alternatively, you can fax your request to 202-456-2461. Include the following information in your request:
* Name and address of the baby
* Exact date of birth
* Your (requestor) name and daytime phone number
* Both parents' names
* Any additional mailing instructions (if other than baby’s residence)
They'll send greetings for other things too. And I think it's v. weird that there's no online form option. Because who uses a fax machine these days?

Thank you for this blog! Not only did I enjoy the adorable picture of Jane, but the blog reminded me to send my request to the White House for David's welcome letter.
I was stumped on whether I should snail mail it or fax it - but who has a fax machine?? I googled ways to send a fax online and it turns out that you can send free fax messages at GotFreeFax.com. The website even sends you an email to confirm that your fax was received. I just used this service to fax my letter to the White House. Pretty handy. But really - the White House needs an easy website for this service and do away with the faxing. I am lucky I am old enough to remember what a fax machine does. I am sure kids today would be stumped!
