FUN WAYS TO ANNOUNCE YOUR EXPECTING

FUN WAYS TO ANNOUNCE YOUR EXPECTING

One of the most exciting moments of your life is finding out you’re pregnant.

Here are some ideas to announce your exciting news........ 

BABY SHOES: 

Baby shoes are just the cutest!

Share a picture of those stylish tiny shoes to let the secret out, a simple picture of you and your partner holding a little pair of shoes is a sure give away. 

If you have other children or pets already, you could also take a picture with all of your shoes/feet lined up together with the little baby shoes in the mix.

USE YOUR PETS:

If you are also an animal lover, chances are you became a pet parent first. Why not use your 'first baby' in your announcements?

If you have an inside pet, invite your closet friends and family around, place a bandana on your pet that says "mum and dad are getting me a human" and see how long it takes for someone to pick up on it!!

You could also just take a super cute photo of your pet wearing glasses reading a how to be a big brother/sister book.

BABY GIFT BOX:

Get an old shoe box or something similar, fill it with your positive pregnancy test, a onesie that says hello daddy, some baby shoes or blankie?

Wrap it up and tell your partner that you have brought them a gift. 

Film their reaction as they open it up and see how long it takes them to catch on.

BALLOON OR CANON POP:

Don't peak!!! Put the gender of your baby into an envelope, give this envelope to someone you trust and get them to buy the right colour canon's or balloon reveal balloon.

You can film this with just you and your partner popping it to reveal gender colour, then post online for all to see or get all your friends and family together so they can be there with you in person when you find out the gender of your baby.

You can also get someone to fill a large box with the gender colour balloons then get expecting parents to open the box and have the gender reveal colour balloons float out.
