Creative ways to tell family the good news?

We're a little behind because we didn't find out we were pregnant until almost 7 weeks, but we have our first prenatal appointment next week at 11 weeks. This is our first so we wanted to have our first appointment before we tell family and friends. I'm wanting to tell them in a creative way, but don't know how. Anyone have any fun ideas or ways they broke the news?

My hubby & I made a copy of our sonogram, framed it, wrapped it & gave it to MIL. She had no clue what is was & she went absolutely crazy...loved it!

Good luck :)

Congrats! We announced on Christmas, we took a picture of my hubby's feet wearing converse, me wearing heels and then a little baby pair of converse beside us... I edited the picture to say "we're growing by two feet!" under it, got it printed and framed it. I put the picture frame at the bottom of a box, with the converse shoes on top. We actually made our family of 35 play a fun Xmas gift game first, and then had all the winners open their gifts one at a time knowing that we would have the person with the announcing box open last. My cousin ended up opening it and pulling the converse out first. Everyone was a little hesitant and unsure. Then she pulled out the picture frame with her jaw dropped and showed everyone. It was amazing! You could def do a similar idea without the Christmas side of things :

We announced to my inlaws at Christmas by having FIL open a little Redskins onesie, MIL opening a stocking that matches our family stockings with a ? Where the initial should be, and step daughter opened a box of decorated sugar cookies that said "Baby Petrie due July 2013".... For my family, we did it via Skype since we live far away, and had them open our family ornaments we exchange ornaments every year ad my ornament was a little cardboard oven with a little "bun" candle in it and says "Bun In The Oven". Even though its not Christmas, you could still have them open something favorite sports team gear, etc. Good luck! Have a happy healthy pregnancy!
