Those 2 little lines on a home pregnancy test give you a rush of happiness like no other, and it\u2019s almost as exciting for the expectant grandparents and everyone else that\u2019s close to you. As a pregnant woman, you might want to surprise your partner by telling them the news in a creative way. Luckily, there are lots of fun and creative ideas on how to reveal the big news. We have listed our top 7 ideas in this blog post. Do you have other suggestions? Feel free to leave a comment!<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Serve morning coffee in a magic mug with a big surprise!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"announce<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Your significant other will really wake up when you tell them you\u2019re pregnant over breakfast! A magic mug<\/a> is an incredibly fun way to announce any news, but especially news as good as this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The magic of this mug is that it is completely black until you pour hot liquid into it. Then, your picture slowly appears on the mug. An incredibly fun way to reveal that you\u2019re expecting a baby. Put your ultrasound image on the mug, and maybe some text. What about \u201cYou\u2019re going to be a dad!\u201d or \u201cHello daddy, see you in January!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, this method works just as well for future grandparents with the text \u201cCongratulations on becoming a grandmother!\u201d or perhaps \u201cThe world\u2019s best grandfathe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. When the wine has to wait!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"announce<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is an idea that will work for everyone, from your partner to your best friends or parents. Invite them to a cosy evening at your home. When it\u2019s time to refill the glasses, use a wine bottle with a self-designed bottle label<\/a> showing your ultrasound image and the text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot to be opened until January 2022!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Or you could create some engraved glasses<\/a> where the mum-to-be says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo not refill before January 2022!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It will be great fun to see how long it takes for the penny to drop, but you\u2019ll have to play it cool to not spoil the surprise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. A dinner with a completely unique table setting!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"announce<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Invite family and friends to a dinner and make sure to have table placement cards, even though it\u2019s a small and relaxed event. But instead of writing their usual names, instead write Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunty, for example, on the placements. They\u2019ll get the idea pretty quickly! There are several ways to make stylish and personal table placements (see below). You could make it extra fun by creating personalised coasters that guests can then take home, such as these cork ones<\/a> or these round ones<\/a>.Tips: Other ways to create personalised placements: Prints in a box<\/a>, placement cards<\/a>, decorative stickers<\/a>, luxury photo prints<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. A baby bodysuit with a greeting from the baby!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"announce<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Give a package containing a small baby onesie<\/a> to the future grandmother and grandfather (or someone else who is close to you). Insert a small card<\/a> in the package that says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi grandma and grandad! Would you please keep this bodysuit with you? It will be good to have an extra when I come and visit you. See you in January!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Tips: This will work just as well with this bib<\/a> or <\/a>hooded baby towel<\/a> for lovely evening baths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Let the guests reveal the exciting news themselves!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"announce<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Invite loved ones to a cosy games evening and tell them that you need help doing a jigsaw puzzle. You can decide how long it will take before the news is revealed by creating a unique photo puzzle<\/a> with anything from 24 to 500 pieces. Use a photo where you\u2019re holding an ultrasound image. The smaller the part of the photo that the ultrasound image occupies, the longer it will take before the guests get the big news! So fun and exciting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Send a postcard from the baby<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"announce<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Do you live far from your family but still want to tell them you\u2019re pregnant in a creative and unique way? Send a classic photo card<\/a> from the baby to the whole family with the text: \u201cSee you in January!\u201d. On the back of the card you can write a little greeting where the baby says<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Hello grandma and grandpa!<\/em>
Here’s a little greeting from me. I\u2019ve haven\u2019t had time to look around the world yet, but my mother takes me around, and I can hear that it\u2019s very nice out there. See you in January!<\/em><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

7. Tell the future big brother or sister with the help of a sweater..<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"announce<\/figure>
\n

If you\u2019re expecting your second child, it\u2019s a wonderful family moment when you let the future big brother or sister know that you\u2019re pregnant. Print the text \u201cbig brother\u201d on a t-shirt <\/a>or sweater<\/a> and invite family and friends round. It\u2019ll be exciting to see who\u2019s first to realise that you\u2019re pregnant!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
