Creative ways to tell people you’re expecting
Finding out you're pregnant is such an exciting time. Sometimes it's hard to keep it to yourself. If you want to share the news in a fun way, I found a whole topic on the MotheringDotCommunity forums discussing fun and creative ways to share that you're pregnant.
We didn't do anything special for my in-laws, but we did when we told my parents. My daughter is their first and only grandchild, and we live a few states away, so we wanted to do something fun. We took a party invitation and filled it out using information about my due date, etc. It said, "You're invited to: the birth of your first grandchild! When: May 17th, Where: The hospital." We mailed it to my family right before Thanksgiving and thought they would call us when they got it. They always go to my grandma's for Thanksgiving so we weren't sure if they would get it before they left or not, so we didn't say anything about it at all when we talked to them. Turns out they got it, and didn't call us! I found out when my sister who was in town for Thanksgiving called me to find out why I hadn't told her!
Have any readers shared the news in a fun and unusual way?
