Creative/ interesting ways to break the news?

So far, only my DH and my doctors know about the pregnancy!  I wanted to wait until I at least made it thru the first trimester (which is coming to a close soon).  I'm planning to tell my family when we get together for Thanksgiving. And we're planning to invite MH's family over soon after that to tell them.

I will see my sister first, before we head over to my parents' house for Thanksgiving.  I'm wondering if anyone could share any fun ways that they've made the big announcement?

  • We lined my IL's up for a picture. As the timer was going off to take the shot, MH said "Say Lisa's pregnant!" instead of saying "Say Cheese!" The picture is awesome!!
  • LOL - it must be a great pic!   

     

    We never do photos with my parents or ILs, though!

     

    One idea I had was this:  We got a new car recently that my parents haven't seen yet.  I will find one of those "Baby on Board" signs to stick in the rear window.  So, when we get to their house for Thanksgiving,  I can say, "Come check out our new car!"  And hopefully they'll be paying close enough attention to see the sign (both have difficulty seeing w/o glasses, so may not even notice!).   Anything to avoid just saying, "I'm pregnant!"  I would find that awkward.

  • I bought a shirt off of online that said:

     

    on the front-- I have a secret

    on the back-- I'm going to be a mommy!

     

    I waited until someone commented on the front and then took off my jean jacket (it was warmer out then)
