10 Unique ways to announce your pregnancy 

Sharing is caring!

How did you announce yours?

Did you find out together or surprise your other half?  A new craze seems to be announcing a pregnancy in the most creative way possible and then sharing with friends.  Here are ten of the best examples I’ve found:

1. Order a Chinese (or make chinese food), then give him or your intended a personalised fortune cookie

You can either tease out the existing fortune with tweezers and replace it with your own message, or buy some to make yourself.

 

2. If you’ve struggled to conceive and used IVF, incorporate your needles and medication for a triumphant announcement.

I thought about rewording the below, but @jess.ambridge has said it better than I ever could! I don’t think I honestly thought this day would ever come, but what Jess has been through for this to become a reality is nothing short of incredible! “In August 2016 we started tests for our fertility; after months of waiting for appointments, invasive scans, blood tests, mixed up referrals, massive weightloss and a whole heap of stress – we finally got our appointment with ACU at Guy’s and St Thomas’s in London 💜 For 12 days in June 2017, Jess injected herself twice a day and made almost daily commutes for more scans and blood tests 💉 Just before the wedding (20 days before), we tranferred one blastocyst and prayed like we never had before… Today, we’re here…with success from our first fresh round of ICSI IVF, we are beyond lucky and grateful ❤️ but we have so many friends who have suffered a lot more heartache 💔 Whilst right now for us this is an amazingly happy time, we pray everyday for the brave women and men battling with infertility 💕” Baby Ambridge is coming March 2018 👶🏻 💚WE ARE ONE IN EIGHT 💚

3. Involve siblings if you have them – usually a fun outfit or get them to hold an announcement! Bonus points if they look extra happy or extra miserable. You can pick up letterboards quite easily now, I got my letterboard from Amazon via this link.

4. If you’re announcing around a special event like Christmas or Easter, wrap up a framed sonogram or pregnancy test and leave that present until last. Get the camera ready!

5. Arrange yourselves for a family or couples photo shoot and put the camera on self timer and set to take a sequence of photos. After the first one, tell him you’re pregnant and the camera will record his reaction! Better still get a friend to take the pictures for you.

6. Try using  some photo props and play around with colored backgrounds, baby outfits, and little shoes to create a fun picture.

7. Give the Grandparents-to-be a customised wine bottle to surprise them!

8. The coffee cup surprise reveal, make them a brew and when they finish there’s a little message inside for them.

9. Use a creative onesie or baby vest to create your own flat lay photo with your sonogram picture or a calendar with the due date circled.

10. This Etsy shop sells pre made social media templates that you can customise with your special date!
