Cute Ways To Announce To Your Family And Friends That You're Pregnant

No matter how you spin it, telling your close friends and family that you are pregnant is going to be a memorable and happy occasion. Of course you can just come out and tell them but since this may be a once in a lifetime experience why not make a little effort to make it even more fun and memorable? Below are a list of creative ways to announce to your family and friends that you are pregnant.

'I'm Pregnant!'
This is a fantastic way to immortalize the moment you announce to your loved ones that you are going to have a baby. During your family or friends gathering, have everyone come together for a group picture. Before you take the photo, instead of yelling, "Everyone say 'Cheese'," yell out, "Everyone say 'Anna's (insert your name) Pregnant'!" Take the snapshot at that moment to capture everyone excited expression.

A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words
Give your loved ones something to keep on their dresser by giving them an engraved photo frame. Buy a frame and have it personalized with your due date month and year on it and put either a poem, picture of your positive pregnancy test, or your ultrasound picture inside. When your baby is born, you can send them a baby picture to replace the placeholder. What a perfect way to announce your pregnancy at a gift giving occasion.

Potluck Surprise
Are you in charge of bringing a dish for the next potluck? Sign up for dessert and bring cupcakes, cookies or donuts that are frosted with pink and blue icing. Watch to see who picks up on the subtle hint.

A New Family Tree
A fantastic way to announce to your family that there will be a new baby in the family is to give them an updated version of your family tree. There are many great resources where you can buy or download a family tree. Just leave a blank space under yours and your husbands name and write in pencil your due date. This would make a perfect gift if you had it framed or for those who have scrap booking loved ones, a scrap book page would be perfect!

Pass the Peas
At your next dinner party, announce your pregnancy by slipping in a subtle, "Can you please pass the peas? I'm eating for two these days!"

Site Update
A great way to keep friends and relatives updated on your pregnancy is to create an online pregnancy journal, so why not use this as a way to announce your pregnancy also? Do a search for “free online pregnancy journal” and get started building your site today.

Game Night
If you routinely play games during family or friend get-togethers, try switching out one of the game pieces to announce your pregnancy. For example, tape a new note over on the Community Chest cards in Monopoly to read, "Anna's having a baby, give $10 to each player," or pull out the right letters from your Scrabble Crossword Game game before your guest arrive and hide them in your pocket so you can lay down, "Pregnant" on the board while you play. Or instead break out Candy Land and Hungry Hungry Hippos Game and tell your guests that you have to practice now because soon there's going to be a new player on game night.

However you decide to break the news that you are pregnant to your loved ones, have fun, be creative and enjoy the moment.
