Open Question: if I order checks, do I need to tell my bank?

Yeah. I have my account numbers and everything, but I never have had checks on my account, just a debit card. So do I need to tell them I am ordering checks or does it matter? I know the bank will give me checks, but they were going to charge me for a book of checks (not free like they used to be at my old bank) and since I have to pay anyway, I'm going to a third party place to get them, so I can get a style I like. Since I have never ordered checks without going through the bank, I would like to know if I need to let them know.
