Pregnant?

How you can announce your exciting news to everyone.

Pregnancy announcement, Finding out you are pregnant is one of the most exciting yet slightly terrifying times of your life.

As you are filled with a huge mixture of emotions as well as morning sickness you will start to plan how to announce your news.

Who will you tell first? In the early weeks you may be so excited you want the world to know or you may want to keep the news a little more low key. You will need to discuss how do you tell family and close friends? Should you gather them all together and tell them at the same time? There’s really no right or wrong way.

Gift

You may want to give a special gift or card to your immediate families announcing their going to be a granny, grandad, uncle, aunt ect.

Once you have told family and close friends it’s time to start thinking about how to tell everyone else. Many parents wait till after their 12 weeks scan to make that special announcement.

In the last few years pregnancy announcements have become very creative with lots of thought and planning. There are special photos, videos, t-shirts and much more.
