Cute Reveal Ideas?

imavera · August 2011

Hello ladies! Excited to be here!

Anyone have some fun/creative ways that they're announcing to the family? I really don't want to do the "Big Brother" shirt, but I'm clear out of other ideas. Grandparents Day is coming up, and I figured that might be a good time. That's as far as I've gotten...

My dad's b'day is tomorrow, and I'm giving him a wrapped gift with 2 bibs that say "I love Grandma" and "I love Grandpa" on them and a card from "the baby." My mom will be there when he opens it, so they will find out at the same time. I wouldn't want to tell so soon ordinarily, but the opportunity is now, and I'm really excited for them to know!

No cute ideas for us, unfortunately.

But when I was pregnant with the first planned pregnancy, we randomly had a photography session scheduled and so we asked the photographer to take a picture of us holding a sign that said "Look closely . . . there are 3 of us! Baby S coming early June!" and when the pictures were available for viewing, I sent the link to my family and told them to go through and let us know which ones they liked best. It was fun.

Oh, and we told my mom early with that one. We got a bib that said "I Love Grandma" and gave it to her as a gift for dogsitting for us. There was a card as well that said "I'm pregnant! EDD June 4, 2009!"

The problem was that she didn't open the card. At all. She thought the bib was cute, but despite it being a bib, she thought it was because we occasionally jokingly called her 'Grandma' to the dog, and she just completely missed the point. So I had to tell her to open the card. . . lol.

For my pregnancy in April (that ended in m/c), I told my parents at 5.5 weeks but making little onesies that said "Grandma spoils me" and "my pappy is the coolest"... and I stuff one in a pink balloon and one in a blue balloon. I wrote 1.4.2012 on the balloon and they popped them to get the onesies out. It was relaly cute and chaotic with the popping balloons and everyone was laughing - made for a great picture. We told DH's parents by putting a "big sister" shirt on the dog.

For this pregnancy, my parents were sort of expecting it be they knew I had an IUI 2 weeks ago and my mom had been asking me everyday the past 5 days if I knew anything yet. We wanted to wait a little bit longer with this one, but couldn't I wrapped a cute chrome piggy bank and tied the positive digital to it and gave it to me mom

I've had a couple ideas so far. I'm the last in my family to have kids (both brothers are done), so one idea was a big cousin t-shirt on my youngest nephew. Another idea was to finally build the parents' albums from our wedding and add a "next chapter" page at the end with the sonogram pic. Also, my due date is my dad's birthday, so I was thinking maybe an early bday card with a sonogram pic in it. So many choices, so much time to decide!

Of course, this is all granted I make it through Labor Day weekend without them guessing.

We won't tell until at least we hear the heartbeat after our first u/s on September 27th but since we are Jewish and that date falls right around the Jewish New Year I was thinking of sending M/FIL a card and wishing them a happy new year from the 3 of us.

Oh my goodness, I LOVE this!!

We're telling my mom tonight. I bought a bib that says "Grandma give the best hugs" and I wrapped it in a gift box. We'll give it to her when she comes over. I can't wait to see her reaction. But that's the only thing we have planned. Everyone else we'll just tell the old fashioned way Wink

We don't really have much in terms of cute ideas. MH's 30th birthday is coming up and we're having our immediate families and few close friends over. It will be right around 7.5 weeks, so I'm going to have him spill it in his general 'thanks for coming' talk. Telling everyone at once, may be a little overwhelming. I'd like to break it up, but I don't think we'll be able to!

My dog is my furbaby and my mother calls him her furgrandson. He is mine and DH's spoiled rotten pup. I will visit my mother on weekends, she is about an hour away, and I plan on having my dog wear "I'm going to be a big brother" t-shirt as w walk in the door. The first thing he does when he walks into her house is run around searching for her to cover her in sloppy kisses, so I will have to be quick to follow him to get her reaction. Cheesy- yes, but totally fits in, though DH doesn't like the plan, but he has no choice. He gets to tell his family however he would like! To which he said I am just going to tell them straight out.

Umm I dont think it's cheesy! ::looks down at ticker:: There is one online that says "my mommy is pregnant and all I got was this lousy tshirt". I wanted that one but it was like $25 and I was feeling cheap

We're waiting for a bit since of the m/c last time, but one that we thought was cute was when we tell our friends/family - gather them together to take a picture. It won't seem like anything since we take pictures all the time, tell them to say "Cheese!" Then DH will look at the camera and say someone's eyes are closed, and to do it again and this time say "Krystal's pregnant" and then click. We'll be able to capture everyone's expression.

Well, I am going to tell my husband tonight! He doesn't know yet and I don't think it will feel real until he does!

I am going to put a little onsie and the pregnancy test in the oven and say that I am cooking up something special for him and to go take a peak!!! He is going to freak!!

Thanks I don't think it is cheesy either, but I know a lot of people do! To each his own I guess I personally thing the idea of it is perfect for me! The shirt you got is very cute! I must say your dog is posed perfectly for the picture as well.

I found a coupon code for my through zazzle and paid $14 and change including shipping!

Did you use your dog in the shirt to announce your pregnancy to anyone yet?
