If you are like us, super close to your family you will probably want to let them know just as soon as you find out you are expecting like we did! No matter how you tell them, whether it be creative or you just blurt it out their reaction will be just as excited and happy for you.
In this being our first child we wanted to do something unique, but that wasn’t expensive and could be done the same day. We don’t live by either of our families, so telling them in person was limiting. However, my husbands family happened to be visiting that week, so in person it could be! We waited until after work and bought a cake that said “I can’t wait to meet you Nonna and Papa!” When we came in the door, we told his parents that there was something not quite right with the cake and to come take a look. It was so cool watching them read the cake and see their amazing reaction!
My family was not in town at this time, but I still wanted to tell them immediately. So what else would you do then FaceTime them! We put the positive pregnancy test on the screen so as soon as they picked up that’s what they saw. It was yet another amazing moment watching them realize we were pregnant! Screams of joy and excitement bombarded the other end. How did we ever live without FaceTime?
There are so many unique ways to announce your pregnancy to your family, choose one that represents your personality and works best with your circumstance.
