The holiday season is the perfect opportunity to make a big announcement surrounded by your loved ones in a festive atmosphere. So how do you announce your pregnancy at Christmas? Here are ten creative and unique ideas for an announcement your loved ones won't soon forget!
- A surprise gift under the tree
Slip a small pair of baby booties or a bodysuit marked "due in [month]" into a gift box. When opening the gifts, let your loved ones discover the surprise!
- A personalized Christmas ball
You can create or order a Christmas ornament with a message like "Our family is growing" or "Future grandmother." Hang it on the tree and let your loved ones notice it.
- Family photo with a hidden message
Offer to take a family photo and ask everyone to say "baby" instead of "cheese." Capture the moment of surprise!
- A personalized Christmas sweater
At some point during the evening, under the pretext that you're a little cold, put on a Christmas sweater with a message like "Mother-to-be" or "Baby on the way" and wait for the reactions. You can even match a similar sweater for the father-to-be!
- A special greeting card
Send or distribute greeting cards with a message announcing the good news, for example: "This year, our greatest gift arrives in [birth month]."
- Clues on the Christmas table
Place little clues on the Christmas table, like place cards for "future grandpa and grandma" or "future aunt"... If you want to wait a little later in the meal, you can distribute these little cards under the pretext of a game between the main course and dessert, for example.
- Personalized Christmas cookies
Bake or order Christmas cookies decorated with messages like "Baby's coming" or "1+1 = 3" and serve them during the meal.
- A revealing Advent calendar
If you want to make the announcement before December 24th, you can create a personalized Advent calendar for your parents, your brother or sister, or friends, for example. Choose a box to include a mini ultrasound or a little note "you're going to be a grandmother." Plus, you can check if they've respected the days or opened everything from the beginning!
- A Christmas gift list
In the same case where you want to make your announcement before Christmas, you can send a list of gift ideas that you like and include one or more items related to the arrival of the baby!
- A guessing game
Have a little guessing game after dinner. Give clues about an event planned for next year until someone guesses your big announcement.
With these ideas, you can share this wonderful news in a unique and unforgettable way during the Christmas holidays.
