November 2015 Moms

Fun idea for Announcing baby

Hello fellow mommies!
After I confirm with the doctor and have my first ultrasound, were planning on having our family (aunts, grandma and cousins) over and surprise them. It's going to be big b/c I'm the oldest and it will be the first baby of the family... Does anyone have any fun ideas bout how to announce it? I've been recording everyone's reaction and I plan on making a video to play at my baby shower and for memories. I need something creative!!

I've made cups for my parents and sisters saying grandma, grandpa and aunties to be. Est. November 2015. The reaction was priceless!

I surprised my inlaws with a cake for my bro in laws birthday, it was very cute as well!

  • That video sounds like a lot of fun! We are planning on sitting a second Easter basket out when our son gets his on our family vacation with grandparents! Have fun!

  • One friend of mine put a bread bun in her oven and asked friends to open the door and look inside!
  • I am a huge fan of Game of Thrones so I photo shop'd my head on Khaleesi and had my two girls' faces put on dragon bodies and I held a dragon egg. Our GoT fan friends and family loved it!!!!!
  • I just came across Wine Labels that I ordered! I'm so excited! One says "We're Preggers! Congratulations you're going to be GRANDPARENTS!" I'm going to give to my MIL since this is their first grandchild. My parents bottle says "Drink this for me I'll join you soon! Baby (last name) coming November 2015!
    We are going to tell them after Easter at 8 weeks and tell others at 12 weeks.
  • We're announcing it to family on Easter. I'm hollowing out eggs and decorating them. I will put a note inside saying we're pregnant or something like that. I'll put it in a box and have a little bits that says "crack me" I figure that's perfect for an Easter announcement. I plan to record the reactions of my family as well.
  • The eggs sound so cute! For my parents I ordered onsies that say 'nana loves me' and 'papa loves me' and will wrap those up. For my in laws is ordered iron on transfers for my nephews to wear that say 'big cousin' (as this will be their first cousin) and put the shirt on them before dinner. And for everyone else I am getting those big foil balloons that spell out baby and we are getting pictures done!
  • I am also hollowing out and decorating eggs with a note inside along the lines of: "We're egg-specting another baby! Due November 2015" and giving to my family members at Easter since my sister will be in town.
  • I saw this on Pinterest-super cute for an Easter announcement!
  • Found this on Pinterest as well and am putting it in a bowl of jelly beans as a sign.
  • We are announcing to our parents on easter too! We will be just under 10 weeks and have our u/s to show off. I'm getting white mugs and writing "Kiki" and "Papa" (that is what my nephew calls my parents) and "Grandpa" and "Grandma" on them and then putting the u/s photo inside with "Baby [last name] coming November 2015"

    We will announce to everyone else after 12 weeks (except my cousins since her bachelorette party is coming up and she will wonder why I'm not drinking). I want to tell my friends individually before we announce on Facebook or anywhere else.
