How to announce my pregnancy to family and friends overseas via Christmas card?

Family
hiya asked:


I cannot make it home for Christmas to share the exciting news so I thought it would be nice to share it via Christmas card. I would like a fun and creative idea that is not too expensive and can fit in a small envelope. I have many close family members and friends to send it to. I cannot find pregnancy announcement cards living in Ireland to send and I am running out of time.. Thanks for the help…:0)

    Maybe you could hand make a card shaped like a baby diaper and close each card with a diaper pin or ribbon before inserting it into the envelope?

    You can download and print a pattern here

    Congratulations!

    maybe you could just sign
    lots of love from
    you,ur husband and baby bump!!

    Perhaps.. if your married (with no kids yet), you could simply write:

    Merry Christmas,
    with love from the 3 of us.

    And they’d be like “WHAT?!? 3?!?” and call you! I like when people have creative ways of telling others of their pregnancy instead of just flat out.

    a copy of your first scan would be good!!

    If you have had a scan yet, put the little scan picture inside each card.

    or

    perhaps be all….

    Love From X and X and a tiny miracle.

    Hi,
    How far gone are you? If you have had scan get it photocopied and put the picture in with the xmas cards!

    Good Luck on telling everyone!

    Well if you’ve already had an ultrasound, I would take that and make copies and turn them into cards or take them print one side a regular card and on the inside of the ultrasound with a funny smart little paragraph.

    My family lives in Germany and this is how I told my parents:
    I pasted a picture of a stork and baby into a word document and wrote that they are going to be grandparents. I then emailed it and called my parents via msn messanger. We both have a camera. I talked to them and then told them that I send them a funny email. They opened it up and read it and the whole time I could watch their faces. It was great!

    I use an online service. You can create your own card there and then they would print it and mail it for you.

    Congratulations on the baby!
