What You Need:

* Plain White Tee Shirts: Figure out how many people you will need tee shirts for. The amount of tee shirts you need depends on how many family members you will be giving them to. Generally speaking you should have shirts for both sets of grandparents, any sibling that you and your partner may have, as well as any children you already have.

* Fabric Paint or Permanent Markers: While permanent markers are equally as efficient, I suggest going with fabric paint for a cleaner appearance.

* Ribbon: The color ribbon you choose should depend on how quickly you want everyone to figure out what you’re trying to say. A red or black ribbon will keep things a mystery for at least a few more minutes. However, pink and blue ribbons will give away your surprise pretty quickly.

* Camera: Capture everyone’s reactions with a camera. Use the picture to start a baby book for the newest member of your family.

3. Sweet Messages: Make your pregnancy announcement even sweeter with some sugar cookies or cupcakes. This works particularly well if you have a huge family or if you want to let your co-workers know about your pregnancy. Purchase or bake the confection of your choose. Decorate the cupcakes or cookies with blue and pink icing, sprinkles, and a few baby themed decorations like tiny rattles and bottles.

A New Family Tree.

A fantastic way to announce to your family that there will be a new baby in the family is to give them an updated version of your family tree. There are many great resources where you can buy or download a family tree. Just leave a blank space under yours and your husbands name and write in pencil your due date. This would make a perfect gift if you had it framed or for those who have scrap booking loved ones, a scrap book page would be perfect!

What You Need:

* Cookies or Cupcakes: If you’re purchasing the cookies or cupcakes, check with your local bakery. They should be able to accommodate your needs by making cookies and cupcakes without the Icing or decorating them in blue and pink icing there. If your baking them be sure you have all the ingredients you need including the frosting.

* Baby Decorations Put a personal touch on your sweets by decorating them with tiny baby trinkets like baby bottles, rattles, and toys. You should be able to find these things in an arts and crafts store or department.
