Baby Announcements - How Creative

One of my friends created darling “we’re expecting” cards with a picture of her two-year-old son holding two pregnancy test sticks and wearing a t-shirt that says “Big Brother.” Another friend sent an announcement card with a close-up picture of her baby’s first heartbeat scan. What have you seen—or created—in the way of creative baby announcements? Tell us. 

The giveaway ended June 17th, but you can still add your story to this chit chat. Look for more giveaways soon and stand by for an announcement about our winner.

When I was pregnant with my 2nd son, I announced the pregnancy to my family by painting a Tshirt for my other son that said "Big Brother".

I sent an announcement to my husband on a note with congratulations flowers delivered to his office. It was a fun way to surprise him.

The company for which my husband works likes to communicate via interoffice memo where the first person signs that he/she has read the contents and then forward it to the next person. That continues until the sender gets the envelop back with everyone's signature. To announce our pregnancy, my husband created an official looking interoffice memo and included a full page size picture of our week 15 ultrasound. That was passed around the company as everyone signed and made congratulatory comments. Everyone got a real kick out of the surprise content of the interoffice envelop and we plan to include the completed memo / announcement in our baby's scrap book!

To announce our pregnancy I made "sour cream" style containers from scrapbook paper. The pattern / idea came from splitcoaststampers.com. Inside the crimped tube, I put Hershey's kisses and a poem that read Roses are red, violets are blue, we are expecting Baby Number 2!

I'm a soon to be daddy and I normally just whip out (just how it sounds) the ultra sound image and allow time for the big picture to come into focus then prepare for the QnA followed by the congratulations and fan fare.
