I want to announce via a holiday card! Do y'all think early nov is too early to send one? I would wait to send one later but need to tell my MIL... And if I tell my MiL than EVERYONE finds out ugh
Posting here as well since we have 2 threads going. Made this after our 11 week appointment and won't post on social media probably until Halloween - gives us time to tell extended family and friends before we put it out to the world!
These are all so great! We want to announce to FB/Social Media in December, so I still have some time to figure out but I love the ones with cartons of ice cream and jars of pickles and such. Subtle but funny. Like this one:
I don't know what we will do for a Facebook announcement yet. We did have my parents, DH mom and grandparents over for dinner last night and told them with a cake. I had all the food set out and the cake. I told everyone to make sure to leave room for dessert.
I'm on mobile so I had to take a picture of my picture!! We are planning to announce next week on Halloween!! We did this fall shoot a couple of weeks ago!
First time posting but love all the ideas!! This is what we sent to family after we told our parents.. We'll be doing family pictures for a Christmas card and plan incorporate a "boys vs girls" picture with "tiebreaker coming soon" on the card to announce to friends.
Goodness gracious, I feel like a Pinterest fail. I tried for a least 30 minutes to get DS and either the ultrasound picture, or a sign in the same picture to no avail. DH wants no part of the announcement, so I'm on my own. Hopefully I'll have something to post later!
What a fun thread! All of these are so cute and creative, I love all the ideas.
blockedrose, yours is my favorite! It's great to see another gamer on this board.
We're probably going to announce in a couple of weeks at the end of the first trimester (plus I have the 12-week ultrasound next week so I'm hoping to be able to use a picture from that). I hadn't even really thought about doing a FB announcement but this thread has very probably changed my mind.
We just took this last night. We're telling our family next weekend when they come to visit. My husband collects soccer jerseys. We're showing them his newest jersey!
We announced it yesterday on Facebook and received so much love already! Initially we wanted to announce it with some balloons, but since it was Halloween, we just decided to wish everyone a Happy Halloween from Family Shelton and Baby Shelton coming Spring 2016, snapped a quick picture and that was it. I'm in my 14th week now.
