Pregnant? Planning a big announcement when the whole family is together this holiday season? Well, go big or go home.?Use these cute announcement ideas we?ve compiled to share the good news with the ones you love.
Great Ideas for Telling the Family You?re Expecting
- Make a YouTube video and send the link to loved ones you can?t be with for the holidays. Start by showing baby pictures of yourself and your partner, and lead up to the picture of the ultrasound snapshot with a nice song in the background. Follow it up to announce the birth by taking a snapshot of your growing belly every week until delivery.
- Enclose a picture of the ultrasound picture inside holiday cards you send to loved ones. Even though you won?t be able to see the surprise on their faces, you?re bound to get a few phone calls!
- Frame a picture of the ultrasound photo and wrap it as a present. Give it like any other present to the parent or loved one who will likely have the best reaction. Video tape him or her opening the gift, then post the video to YouTube to announce it to everyone else!
- Fill a scrapbook or photo album with pictures of your family and give it as a regular present to your loved ones. Encourage them to flip through it right after it is opened. Fill one of the last pages with a message such as ?And now for the next branch on the family tree?? and insert a photo of the ultrasound picture.
- Find an item that is the same size as your developing baby (for most women, it will be about pea-size at the time a pregnancy is discovered). Have your loved ones close their eyes and hold out an open hand. Place the pea or other object in their hands, let them open their eyes, and announce that your baby is about that size right now.
- Buy t-shirts as presents that hint at the good news, such as ?World?s Best Grandma-to-Be? or ?Another grandchild on the way!?
- Set up a family portrait and instead of screaming ?Cheese!? shout ?We?re pregnant!? This way you can announce the news and catch everyone?s reaction in a photo that will last forever.
- Take a picture of the positive pregnancy test and frame it or send it via email to friends and family to announce the happy news in a creative, modern way.
- Wrap a baby-themed ornament or a baby bottle like a regular present, complete with a due date written on the side, and watch for everyone?s reaction.
- Have your other children wear a shirt that says something like ?Big Brother/Sister Duties Begin [Due Date]? and see how long it takes your loved ones to pick up on the clue!
