Memorable ways to announce your pregnancy

When the adrenaline of that first positive pregnancy test starts to fade a little, it makes room for excitement to share the delightful news.Surprise future grandparents, aunts & uncles and other loved ones with a creative announcement. Fortunately, there are plenty of fun ways to share the big news! We'd love to tell you about our 5 most favourite ways to announce a pregnancy:

1. Reveal the news with some magic
A magic mug is a fantastic way to reveal this wonderful surprise. The mug starts off completely black and, when you pour in a hot drink, your photo or text gradually appears. Imagine inviting the future grandparents over for some afternoon coffee. One minute it’s still regular coffee and then the next, best news ever! Talking about magic, right?

2. Get a special wine bottle!
This announcement works well for everyone, friends, parents and family. Go for a cosy dinner and make sure to include your server in your plan. When it’s time to order some drinks, ask for their most special bottle. The server will return with a wine bottle adorned with a bottle label featuring the text “baby coming soon”. Watching your company piece it together will be great fun, but be sure to keep a straight face to maintain the surprise!

3. A onesie with a message
Gift a small baby onesie to the future grandparents, along with a card that says: “Hi Grandma and Grandad! Please keep this onesie close; I’ll need it when I come to visit. See you soon!”. We can already imagine the look on their faces!

4. Involve your pets
Get your cat or dog a little pet bandana with the text “Promoted to snuggle buddy”. Invite company over and let your pet greet them wearing the bandana. It’ll be fun to see who notices first and watch them slowly realise the exciting news.

5. Tell it with a sweater
If you’re expecting your second child, let the future big brother or sister in on the secret! Order a sweater Order a sweater and personalise it with the text “Big Brother” or “Big Sister” and gather family and friends. It will be delightful to see who figures it out first!

With these creative ideas, you'll make the announcement of your growing family an unforgettable moment!
