Creative ways to tell your family the great news

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone!!!

I realize that I don't find out officially until Monday, and part of me is

still suspicious about all of this, but I'm wondering if anyone has any great

ideas (creative, cute, meaningful, etc) on how to tell parents and siblings

(as in my and my hubby's siblings) we're pregnant?? I was thinking about

buying plain bibs for each of them and cross stitching or, more realistically

with the amount of time I have (or don't have), using fabric paint on them, that

would say something like " I love Grandma, " " I love Aunt Ali, " " I love cousin

Sophie, " etc.

I know this is a very resourceful, creative group, so I'd really love to

hear all the ways you broke the news to your family (and friends).

Thanks for the ideas!!! I can't wait to read them.

Love and peace...

You could have them over to dinner and have pink and blue food, lol.. I don't

know how that would work since I just thought it up right now, lol..The

little bib idea sounds cute too.

Invite everyone to dinner. Serve them baby back ribs, baby peas,

baby new potatoes, and baby carrots, mini croissants. Ask them if

they see a theme going with the dinner and then have fun watching

them try to figure it out. Note the look on thier faces when someone

finally " gets it. "
