Mine wasn't fun, but I ran out of the bathroom screaming at 4am and waving the pee stick in his face. Like, literally less then an inch from his face. Without turning the light on.
Not fun, but memorable, and we still laugh about it at least every couple of days, lol
They have some really good ideas on youtube.com. I was checking them out the other day. I got DH a shirt that says, "Growing up on Oklahoma Football" since he is a Sooners fan. But he already knew before that. I too woke him up yelling, "two lines, two lines" and shoving the test in his face.

DH refused to let me test w/out him. He actually wanted to see me POAS. We settled on me collecting a sample and inserting test. We watched the results appear together.... quite romantic! LOL All in the bathroom.

When we started trying I bought a couple creeper sets for his fave sports teams. ?When I got the BFP, I gave him a gift bag with those in there. ?He pulled them out and said "those are adorable, but you're not even pregnant." ? just kind of looked at him for a minute and he jumped up and shouted OH MY GOD! ?It was great. ?:)
With my first, I made him a Build-a-Bear teddy dressed up as a baby and recorded my voice telling him I actually cringe when I think about it now, lol.

I bought my youngest a 'I'm a big brother' shirt. And I had to point out the shirt about 500 times to get him to look at it closely. He kept looking and saying oh a new shirt, cool. I was like BABE! READ THE SHIRT.

Yep that was me tooo!!!! HAHAHA!! I did not have time to think of anything....
It's still close to Christmas, you could give him a late Christmas present...or a New Years present?
I found out a few days before Christmas, ran out and got a "Baby's 1st Christmas" outfit (that will fit our baby next year) and wrapped it up. I couldn't wait to tell him so I said "Honey! I got you an early Christmas present, open it up!" Thankfully I put the test in too because it took him a minute to realize I was pregnant. He teared up, but LOVED it! We weren't expecting the baby but what a lovely surprise .
Anyone have any fun or creative ways to tell your husband you are pregnant?
Hey, I wanted to send you a PM, but I didn't know how. Just wanted to say that I don't think it's a big deal for you to send repeat messages. Who cares really?

When we got pregnant with my daughter, I woke him up at 6 am asking him if he saw two lines..this time, I made her a onesie while he was out running errands that said "I'm going to be a BIG SISTER - Aug '09" and asked him to dress her. It took him a good minute to realize what the shirt said. He was like "this is cute. i haven't seen this one yet". I was like "really"..Then he realized and asked me if I was serious..then he started tearing up (he's such a sap but I love it)
I had all these grande plans but then when I took the test I THOUGHT there were two lines but couldn't tell. I was so exciting I was screaming for him to come to the bathroom he thought something was wrong! When he got in there he was like OMG are we pregnant?! I said I don't know are there two lines?? He said I don't know, I think so , take anohter one! It was funny, we still laugh about it!

For our first pregnancy, when my husband was out- I bought pink & baby blue balloons and filled our living room with them- and had a sign that read "Welcome home Daddy".
I saw the cutest commercial a few years back that I thought was great. I think this would only work if this was your first baby though...
In the commercial it shows a guy coming home from work and he goes to his bedroom to hang up his suit jacket. There's a shot of him putting his jacket in his closet and in the closet is a shelf of shoes where he keeps his work shoes (dress shoes). In between a couple of pair of shoes the wife had put two little baby booties there. With it being a commercial the guy got it right away...it may not be so obvious in real life, haha! I thought it was a cute way to tell DH.
When I discovered I was pregnant I had to show each stick to hubby to make sure it was true. I'm a silent reactor...I just smiled and cried while handing him the stick asking if he saw what I saw...
I am not very good at suprises and I had not even had a cycle yet since going off BC so I just told him he needed to come in to the bathroom because he would not believe me if I told him. It is our first so I was shocked it happened so fast!

None here but you can Google for ideas a lot comes up.
Baby #1 I was Screaming WE ARE PG at 4am that was a great memory!
Baby#2 and #3 are both surprises so it was the both of us in the bathroom watching/waiting for 2 lines
.
Same thing I did. It was such a sweet moment and a Christmas he will NEVER forget!

You're welcome.
I got mine the day after Christmas and did the same thing with a 'late' Christmas gift!
