How did you announce?

How has everyone announced their pregnancy/gender? We are still young (25) and this was a surprise but my fiance and I are so excited. Since we don't have the money to get all the professional pictures done or throw big parties we have been taking pictures on our phone and I edit them up a bit with a free app.
I know I struggled/still do sometimes with the fact that we didn't have the money to do everything we would like. Hopefully this gives some other people in our situation some great ideas to share with everyone and feel great about it :]
I also thought it would be fun to see how everyone shared it with their loved ones!
I added the photo the gender announcement. I had my friend take it in our living and used my free photoshop app to fix it up! We did the same thing with announcing we are expecting, we got a toddler Seahawks jersey and held it on both ends down on the waterfront wearing our matching jerseys.. again had my friend take it on my phone and edited it on my free app!

I made a sign saying
"Big sister duty.... February 2015"
Put it around my dogs neck:)
And snapped the picture.  Posted it on my social media sites and sent it out to the family and friends who don't use it.

My hubby and I were low on funds at the time-we were 10w, so we just picked up a greeting card for the grandparents and wrote a little note from the baby's pov.  The following weekend, we had a big cookout and announced to the rest of the family/friends.  Everyone else found out on Facebook after that.

well for us it was a.little different we had  2ms and finally got pregnant again. but we didn't let anyone know for that reason. thwy say after 12w they say the risk is less. so when we went to get the u/s and saw our BABY moving and all was ok. we told.my dad and his parents  then we told everybody else on Facebook so no one could say " how come you didn't tell me"
