Unique ideas to share the news the 2nd time around!

Hello ladies...

I'm looking for your clever thoughts/ideas....We just got a BFP and already my wheels are spinning on how to share they news with both sides of our family.

For my daughter, we were out to dinner with my husband's family and had inserted a "specials" paper into his mom and dad's menu only..listing items like baby carrot, bite sized baby crab cakes, baby back ribs, etc., becoming grandparents again..priceless and it was a huge success.

For my parents, my sister had just delivered my nephew so I had a onesie made, "Can't wait to meet my cousin in October!" and had a nurse switch him into it while still in the hospital. Another sucess!

So here I am trying to top what was already done! 

I've been searching the net and have read a lot about "Big Sister" type tees (my sister did that with her second though!), pink and blue flowers, and leaving baby items around the house.  Just wondering if any of you have some idea to pass along. I would really appreciate it!

TIA!

    We got DD a onesie made on etsy...the front says "I have a secret"...the back says "I'm gonna be a big sister". She wore it for a few min before anyone figured it out. It was fun watching them trying to figure out what her secret was (it wasn't until DH picked her up and turned her around for my SIL to say "what does that sayon her back?"

    I bought the same "Big Sister" shirt from Carters.  She wore it when I shared the news w/ DH.  My mom just figured it out so we plan on saving the shirt for when we tell others.
