Creative Ways to Announce Pregnancy to a Group

I am 5 weeks pregnant and just itching to tell everyone!  DH wants to wait until I am 12 weeks and tell everyone on the 4th of July (both of our families will be together) - it gives us plenty of time to think of a fun and creative way to tell the group at our 4th of July outing!  Any suggestions??

Re: Creative Ways to Announce Pregnancy to a Group

  • Write "I am pregnant!" on the face of all the cards in a deck of cards (or if you're good at card tricks, only on one). Tell the group you just learned a trick and ask them to pick a card, then have them show the card to everyone.

  • 4th of July is a fun day to tell everyone!  Do you want a patriotic idea?  I would work it into whatever dish or beverage you are bringing to the party.  Decorate a cake with a baby theme or something. 

    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

  • Sorry for butting in, I lurk usually - I'm not even pg yet!  LOL!  But here's something I've always wanted to do!

     Get everyone together for a group pic, then instead of having them say "cheese" tell them to "Say Izzourclue's pregnant" and then take the pic!  Not only fun, but you get to have a picture of the moment everyone found out and the looks on their faces!

    Good luck!  And congrats!

  • I told my team of coworkers by brining in donuts for a meeting and told everyone that "I wanted their bellies to get as big as mine will be getting"  You could do something like that will fourth of july themed cupcakes or something!

    Love this idea!
  • What about those poppers/crackers that you pull?  They're usually around during Christmas, are about the size of a toilet paper tube, and have treats inside. 

    Maybe make some and have one for everyone at the 4th of July party.  Have them all "pop" them together. 

    To announce I was PG w/DD I got our parents Easter baskets with a large plastic egg.  Inside was a bib that said, "I love my Grandma/pa".  Same idea.
