Of course Chelsea Peretti styled her own birth announcement after Beyoncé

You can't outdo Beyoncé, you can only imitate her.

There is no way you can overshadow a Beyoncé birth announcement -- all you can do is pay respect.

That's the lesson Chelsea Peretti thankfully learned when she made her own birth announcement on Saturday. Peretti, who is married to comedian Jordan Peele, announced their first child on Instagram.

Peretti, wonderful though she may be, has nothing on Beyoncé. None of us do. All she can do is take a blurry selfie and be proud.

And just compare it to the original:

We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. - The Carters

Nothing screams Beyoncé like a beige sweater and a black purse, as Peretti knows so well.
