Both of our families live quite a distance from our home. We weren't sure how to make our announcement and include everyone at the same time. So-my husband and I called our families and friends to announce that we were planning on having a formal event and would notify friends and family by mail after all the details had been arranged. We then had invitations engraved that included the due date and the name of the hospital. We asked people to RSVP. We popped them in the mail and waited for a response! it was so much fun getting the phone calls from friends and family! Some were shocked, some confused, and all were overjoyed at our happy news!
