We don't have any other relatives that live close by, so we may try to keep my Mom from telling everyone until they get their cards. Thanks for all the great ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14931 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 14:39:22 +0000 heffalump 14931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw somewhere a girl holding a sign that said. "I'm " and her hubby was next to her holding a jar of prego sauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14919 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 14:13:32 +0000 tequiero21 14919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i got a picture of an u/s baby for a xmas card last year. i love personal (pictured) xmas cards. i tend to throw out the others, but always keep the photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14889 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 13:03:24 +0000 mrskc 14889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that sounds like a really cute way to announce your pregnancy. What about taking a photo of you and your SO with a chalkboard sign that says, "+ 1" You could hold it near your belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14866 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 12:07:01 +0000 Mrs. D 14866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could write something about how their Christmas present will be arriving at your house in May? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14841 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 11:12:30 +0000 duetletterpress 14841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think it's a great idea. you can say from x, y + baby to be! we sent out bump announcements to let our families know we were expecting. it's a little momento that they've all held on to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14830 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 10:43:37 +0000 junebugmama 14830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing the same thing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14802 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 09:31:51 +0000 pelikila 14802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of mine did something similar. They had family photos done and in one of them, she was holding the ultrasound photo and that photo was a close up of the ultrasound.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14800 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 09:30:23 +0000 winniebee 14800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's an awesome way to let family and friends know! (I might still tell my parents before they got the card!)</p> <p>You could wear a cute shirt with a present on the belly of your shirt and say something like "In 2012 we are expecting the greatest gift of all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14792 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 09:22:57 +0000 PBandBaseball 14792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that sending a Christmas card announcement is a great way to let people know that you're expecting. Are you going to tell your parents &amp; other close family beforehand? I'd want to see their reactions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14668 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:34:49 +0000 mediagirl 14668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mh.albania: super cute idea. A friend on Facebook just did that with their FB announcement! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14667 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:29:40 +0000 Andrea 14667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mh.albania: I love that idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14664 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:15:39 +0000 MH.Abroad 14664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about you buy a pair of baby shoes (gender neutral), and then take a picture of your and your husband's feet standing side by side with the baby shoes and a caption that reads "The Blank Family is Expanding... By Two Feet!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcing-the-pregnancy-christmas-cards#post-14663 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:08:49 +0000 mediagirl 14663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How would you feel if you received a Christmas card from a friend or family member where you found out they were pregnant in the card - or on the front of the card? My husband and I are considering taking a picture of some sort, making a Shutterfly card and sending it to all of our friends and family. We're going to be 12 weeks on Black Friday, so the timing would be perfect.</p> <p>I guess my next question is, what type of picture to take (since no one here knows yet, we can't really ask someone to take it) and then what to say? I was thinking something like , "Merry Christmas from X, Y and ....(and this is where I'm stuck). I'm super creative like that. :) One thought I had was to take a picture of a sticky bun in the oven and say, Merry Christmas from J, D and the bun in the oven. Too dorky? :) </p>
