Mobile: Anyone sharing the news this weekend?!?!

I have my NT Scan today and 13 week appointment and, assuming all is well,  we are coming out on Facebook on Father's Day. I'm couldn't care less about making a big deal on Facebook, but since EVERYONE has Facebook now, my parents, in laws, and all the grandparents are itching to scream it from the rooftops. I thought Fathers Day would at least be meaningful. :D Anyone else have fun ideas for sharing on Father's Day this weekend? 

Me: 31 | DH: 33

DS1: 12.23.13 | DS2: 05.06.16

BFP: 06.30.19 | EDD: 3.9.20

**TW**
TTC3: 11.18
BFP: 02.05.19
CP: 03.07.19

    We were going to share on Father's Day but DH has a few ppl he wants to tell in person and he won't be seeing them until the 22nd. He is really excited about telling them face to face, so I want him to have that moment.

    I'd also prefer to have my MateriT21 results back also, and they should arrive Monday or Tuesday.

    I'm not [waiting for the anatomy scan to see what we're having before sharing on FB], but I think Father's Day is a nice time to share the news. Plenty of fun ways to do it!

    I am telling work today.  I've known these people for years and being 44 and a FTM, this will likely be quite unexpected.

    I am waiting till my next appointment. I will be 2nd trimester. I had a pervious loss so I want to wait a bit longer. I wanted to wait till we found out what we where having but my MIL is driving me crazy about posting on FB.

    We are! Since we're seeing both sets of grandparents this weekend, and I'm 13 weeks today, it just made sense. We are so excited!

    We are!  I'll be 13 weeks on Sunday so we're telling both of our parents.  We're scrambling to incorporate DS (2 yrs) into telling them as well.  We're excited!

    We are planning on announcing to our parents in person on Father's Day, and then telling work people and close friends over the course of the next week before announcing on Facebook.

    Our families both know, as well as close friends, but I think we'll be making a FB announcement on Father's Day. Something cutesy about how DH will have twice the responsibilities next year. ;)

    I bought DH a shirt that says "Real Men Make Twins" on it. I'm going to give it to him on Father's Day and make him take a pic in it.  After my appt. next Friday, 6/21 I will post on FB the pic of him in this shirt.  I'm a bit paranoid with PgAL brain but I think it's a fun way to incorporate him into the announcement!  We will be 14 weeks next Friday when we announce on FB.

     I'm dealing with the same thing as you - close family is dying to be on Facebook openly about it.  I'm just paranoid someone is going to accidentally slip and then the "announcement" won't be meaningful to me (and on my terms).  I know it's crazy. hah.

    We are having a party on Fathers Day for my sweet little boys first birthday. We are announcing to all our family (except my mom, who already knows) and friends by having my son open a "Big Brother" t shirt during present time.  I'm very excited.

    I got my father a happy Grandfather's Day card that I will give him from his future grandchild. I thought it would be a memorable way to share the news. This will be the first grandchild on my side of the family.

    We are debating telling this weekend.  We were planning on it, but now we are not doing a big family get-together for father's day.  Instead, we are having a big family get-together at my aunt's house tomorrow because my cousin has been studying abroad for the past year and just got home this week.  So, there will be all the family, but also a lot of her friends.  Would it be weird to tell people there?

    I wouldn't want to do a true announcement to everyone at the same time, but would it be "raining" on my cousin's welcome home party to mention it to family as we are talking to them? Otherwise, I will have to just call them because there are no other times that we do family parties with my dad's family until maybe September, but probably more like November.
