Everyone caught on real quick &amp; were thrilled to hear the news. It was awesome. We annouced the twins with the cupcakes &amp; said "if you notice there are two fish". Our niece came running over &amp; gave me a hug right away. We called Dh's brother to tell them &amp; he laughed an evil laugh. </p> [attach=2642/13/mp6jpq.337x600.20130629_184328.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-895266 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 11:22:15 +0000 Pink Champagne 895266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cupcake idea is super cute! Good luck!! </p> <p>In terms of telling the rest of the world, I'm a big fan of in person or a phone call from my friends when they announce their pregnancies. I hate, hate, hate cutesy-wutesy Facebook photos, with buns in ovens, three pairs of shoes, or jars of spaghetti sauce. If you MUST do a FB announcement, a simple status update saying how excited you and your husband are about your upcoming addition to your family is so much more elegant and classy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-895254 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 11:12:05 +0000 googly-eyes 895254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my family the after grace idea would go over well, I think, so I like it!</p> <p>But in full disclosure, I am not a fan of elaborate announcements, for pregnancy, gender, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-895180 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 10:38:41 +0000 kjpugs 895180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the grace idea! It would work with my family so I get it. I think maybe you could say you're thankful for the baby you're expecting in January... and then as everyone is like OMG have him say, and the OTHER baby we're expecting in January.... two shocks for the price of one :)</p> <p>Let us know how it goes!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-895173 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 10:35:22 +0000 Bao 895173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: eeks let us know how it goes, so exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-895166 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 10:31:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 895166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: let us know how it goes! I didn't see this earlier or else I would have suggested slipping it into while you say grace for the meal! "and thank you God for our family that will be expanding in 2014..." lol!!!</p> <p>have fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-895147 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 10:18:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 895147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: cute!!

Just have them open a get with everyone watching and have them pull out two onesies or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892789 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:40:34 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 892789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: minus the toddler biscuit bit that might work :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892778 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:37:30 +0000 brownie 892778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: you could us the math without the pictures. So you could put your names or nicknames. Daddy biscuit + toddler biscuit + mommy biscuit + bun in the oven = 5 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892769 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:35:03 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 892769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: could we pull that off with the inlaws already knowing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892762 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:33:20 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 892762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This seems kinda fun... DH isn't crazy about these type of photos though. </p> <p>ETA: MINUS THE TODDLER lol</p> <p>[attach=2642/13/mp3uzk.320x214.fa5e4aab0bcfa921e95f144d557a04a8.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892751 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:31:28 +0000 T.H.O.U. 892751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: what about making an announcement that you have a gift for the grandparents. When they open (and very one watching) the gift reveals that its twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892699 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:18:26 +0000 LuLu Mom 892699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about doing a 1+1 = 4 and have your husband holding a sign to your belly saying twins or do the shoes with 2 pairs of shoes with coming soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892684 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:14:25 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 892684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: hmmm never thought about eveyone not hearing. Mostly everyone will be in the kitchen area of the cabin when we say grace. But I'm sure a hand full of guys will be outside. Everyone is fairly close so I don't think the ils will mind finding out with the rest of the family. DH'S parents know just not his siblings &amp; their kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892632 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:55:48 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 892632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about bringing King cake with two toy babies in it? Everyone will be happy with they find the first baby, and busy with excitement when they find the second baby!</p> <p>Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892624 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:53:35 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 892624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: I like your video announcement idea. </p> <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: saying right after grave when everyone is ready to eat their hot food and seated. Meh. There would be so much comotion trying to get up and hug you and then food gets cold. Can you wait until dessert or mid way make a toast? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892546 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:21:41 +0000 anbanan15 892546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: oh I see! I thought the heart onsies was cute for a Febuary babes, but you are close enough :) I hope you can come up with something awesome. I agree that just announcing might get lost in a crowd that big. Might need to spell it out more (giant letter balloons "twins"? I kid!!). Good luck and congrats again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892529 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:14:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 892529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: Congrats again. I think the only problem with just announcing it may still be that people don't hear and you loose some of the Wow effect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892528 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:14:25 +0000 regberadaisy 892528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG twins?! Yay!!!</p> <p>I'm not really liking the announcement after grace idea for some reason? Also with that many people how will you get everyone to hear your announcement? I'm assuming not everyone will be eating in the same area?</p> <p>What about making a dessert of some kind? Is it important that the whole group finds out at the exact same time?</p> <p>How are you going to get them to all keep quiet and not tell your brother??? </p> <p>Also don't you think your ILs might want to know before aunts and uncles? I can imagine after everything dies down everyone going up to them and asking if they knew, etc etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892519 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:08:58 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 892519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: I'm 9 weeks and they are due January 30th. DH's parents already know. This is mostly for the rest of the family. I may have to check out Etsy. </p> <p>@Mrs. J: love your picture! I was thinking about something like this. I've also thought about a picture of jeans on the clothes line or even undies ao I can hang two cloth dipers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-ides-on-how-to-announce-twins#post-892497 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 06:53:59 +0000 anbanan15 892497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When are you due again? </p> <p>I saw some cute twin announcements on Pinterest for FB. Things like 2 buns baking in the oven, a picture of a pea pod with 2 peas on it and for a February baby there we two heart onsies the parents were holding with a caption that said "double the love". Those were my favorites!</p> <p>Did you check Etsy for a shirt for yourself? I'm sure if you had an idea of something you liked better you could get a seller to make it for you.</p> <p>No other real ideas. What about having DH's parents open a "gift" simultaneously to announce? Maybe a pair of booties each or a copy of the ultrasound? I'm sure they would be confused by why they have to open two items at first! </p>
