Got any cute ideas for telling loved ones you're pregnant?

I'm not pregnant yet (hoping to be), but I'm always thinking about stuff like baby names, and baby room decoration ideas, etc.  My brother and sister-in-law told my parents by taking them out to eat for their anniversary and giving them a "Happy Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa, from new baby!" card which I thought was so cute!  How did everyone tell their loved ones they were pregnant, whether it be your husband or parents or kids, I'd like to know.  Thanks!

My friend did this when she was pregnant....she changed her email address to say "and baby" Then she just started emailing everyone... It was adorable... So, if her email address was ***@**** changed it to ***@**** thought this was adorable!

My husband and I just found out we are pregnant for sure yesterday. We are going to tell our mothers on Sunday for Mother's Day.

We're giving them each a bottle of Almond Champagne and a homemade card with a picture of our positive pregnancy test on the outside and on the inside it will say, "Happy GRANDmother's Day!"

We hope they like it!

I love the idea of putting a "I'm gonna be a big brother" shirt on your dog.  We have a 135 pound bloodhound and just found out we are pregnant for the first time- I am going to go find a shirt today (it may need to be in the toddler/older boy section).  For our close family and friends we can show in person and for my siblings that live far away we will send a picture through email.

Thanks for the idea!

We found out we were preggo 2 days after Christmas and decided to wait until the 2nd trimester to make the big announcement.  We were all getting together for my birthday around that time and decided it would be the perfect opportunity to tell the whole family.  We had the US printed right on the cake (Stop and Shop, Carvel's can do this) and has "We're Pregnant!" written on it instead of Happy Birthday.  We dimmed the lights and everyone began singing "Happy Birthday".  My husband brought the cake in with lit candles and placed it on the table in front of me.  A few people loked confused, but then one person yelled out "Is it true?!" and then everyone knew!  I couldn't stop crying!!

WELL I DONT HAVE ANY GREAT IDEAS, BUT IF SHOWING THE PREGNANCY TEST IS A MUST THEN WHY NOT JUST TAKE A PIC OF THE POSITIVE TEST AND SHOW THE PIC.....THAT WAY NOBODY HAS TO TOUCH SOMEONE ELSES URINE.
