How did you let "everyone" know that you were PG?

Did you tell close friends and family and have them pass it along?  Call people individually (like aunts, cousins, etc)?  Send an email?  Wait until you saw them in person?

All of my close friends and family know and I'm sure a few have told some of the other, not as close, friends and family but I'm not sure who exactly knows.  When I was PG with DD she was the first grandchild so my mom told the entire town and beyond.  But this time she doesn't seem to be doing that which is both good and part of me wishes she just would!

I made a montage for our parents and put that on a DVD for them to learn of the news.  After they got it and found out I sent that montage to everyone else via email.

I have a ginormous family.  I would have been on the phone until my due date.  I told the important people in our lives, they passed it on from there.

we told everyone seperately and then DH announced it to the audience at one of his shows.(mostly friends and fans).

I told DH by buying a couple dozen pink and blue balloons.  I had made copies of a cute little baby at work and tied it to the bottom of each balloon.  I set up our video camera to record his reaction when he walked in and damn if he didn't walk through the wrong door from where I had the camera set up!

We waited until I was 8 weeks and saw DS on the ultrasound before telling everyone else.  We were going to a family reunion on my Dad's side and staying at a condo with my parents.  We got there really late so the next morning I woke up and took a shower.  I had a tank top that had baby written across the top with an arrow pointing to my stomach.  I heard my parents in the kitchen so I walked out of my room with DH behind with the viedo camera.  My mom walked past me chattering about something when she suddenly stopped, backed up and read my shirt.  She started screaming it was so funny!  I asked my parents to keep it to themselves because we hadn't told DH's parents, but they couldn't resist telling everyone at the reunion.

When we got back we stopped by the in-laws house and I wore the same tank top.  FIL saw my shirt right away but it took awhile for MIL to notice. 

We told our friends mostly by email (those long distance) and on the phone to everyone else.

Told our parents and siblings personally. I told a couple of my best friends in person and told the rest of my groups of friends via emails. DH will call his buddies whenever he gets around to it - he's such a dumb boy.

The first time around, we called immediate family and happened to be with my family over Thanksgiving so we told the rest of the relatives in person.  We had a big family b-day that weekend for my mom's 65th b-day so she was able to tell all of her friends at the party.  We then told everyone else with our holdiay - I wore a "Due in June" t-shirt in the picture.  We might have also sent an email out to some of our closer friends and I called some of my friends as well.

With #2, we told family over the phone and again, had a family event around the time we were going to tell everyone so was able to tell family in person.  We then just sent out an email to tell everyone else.  We had taken a picture of our older DD in a t-shirt that said "I'm going to be a big sis" and we included that picture in the email.  She wore the t-shirt to daycare which is how I told them.  Actually, we sent the picture to our parents in an email along with other pictures and that is how we told them but they couldn't tell anyone or show anyone the picture until we gave them the go ahead many weeks late.
