For my first pregnancy we decided to wait 3 months before telling anyone. I was going to be 12 weeks on June 27 which was my in-laws 25th wedding anniversary. On the Saturday prior to the 27 we planned a huge dinner for the occasion with my husband sister and brother including there significant other. Dessert came around and I went to get the Ice cream cake saying: "On your 25th anniversary how about being grand-parents?" Everybody just screamed and laughed! They were all so happy!
Our second pregnancy, I bought a single white rose and wrote on it for my husband: "We are due July 6."
And for this little on it was my oldest daughter's job to tell everybody. She called my parents(they live 13 hours away) and said: "There is a baby in maman's tummy". They were very excited and my mom started crying. She used the same line for my in-laws and they did not believe her right at first but with us saying that she was right made it all the happier!
