I just came across this link while perusing a favorite blog of mine. I think it's a genius way for sharing the big news! I've been Facebook-free for about 9 months now and just recently I sent out individual emails to share the news that we are expecting. It was great to reconnect with good friends, but it was pretty time consuming to write all of those emails.

While the convenience of pushing out information to a lot of people all at once was nice on FB, I don't miss the distraction at all. I also don't miss the way it used to control a lot of my free time. It's not to say that I haven't easily found new social media outlets to fill the void, but most of those outlets aren't ways for me to share the big news.

It allows you to register a domain name. You can use a real name or a fun one. Then you send it out to your friends and family. You can include registry information. And once your baby arrives it looks like a pretty simple process to update the website and then people receive notice!

Take a look at the site for more information - scroll down on the initial page. I thought it was worth sharing.

How do you plan to share the big news once your baby arrives?
