I'm using my app, so I can't post a pic (I'm a tad lazy to switch to the internet browser) but I wrote a cute little holiday poem. If any one wants to steal and use it please feel free!! (I'm a December due date, so it works with the holiday theme, but January works too in my opinion). We had little gift bags for all the great grandparents to be (first great grand child, they were very excited) with the card and poem and a binky in the bottom of each bag. It was a hit (:
"Girls are pink, boys are blue The two of us have exciting news for you... This holiday season comes a special surprise Filled with love, laughter and baby supplies..."
Then I had a copy cut out of my ultrasound photo with "Welcoming baby *last name* December 30th, 2015"
I absolutely love couples/families who do photo announcements and etc. They all look so cute and really special! DH and I, however, aren't really keen on photo or Facebook announcements - it's just not for us. We plan on personally and quietly telling our families, and then letting friends know as we seen them.
I had this cute idea that I'm going to use on my parents when we tell them this weekend. I'm going to hand them each a plum and just say "It's just to give you an idea of the current size." They will definitely be confused, and my mom will ask "Size of what?" She's going to have an absolute fit when I tell her - I can't wait :-) Anyway, it's a fun idea for anyone who wants to make more of a verbal announcement.
Love seeing all of the posts! We've told immediate family and some friends. I'm on the fence on making a Facebook/wide announcement. But it is lots of fun to see your creative ideas
