We all know how exciting it is when our pregnancy test turns out positive. But sometimes, hubby isn’t around and you have to recreate the magic with him, so what’s the best way to deliver a pregnancy announcement to husband?
Well, there are plenty of ways to make the pregnancy announcement to husband. From shirts, mugs, onesies, scavenger hunts, t-shirts and the like, you’ll find all sorts of crazy things on Etsy and Amazon that do it in a fun and creative way.
Some of them you don’t even have to buy as there are plenty of DIY surprise pregnancy announcement ideas that only require some basic materials and a steady hand when handling scissors or glue.
Personally, the most fun pregnancy reveals are the ones you make for your second child and onward because you get to work with the older kids on a big surprise that you can all show to your hubby.
So, outside of just handing over a positive pregnancy test, what are the fun ways to deliver the big news about a new baby? Read on to find out.
Ideas For A Pregnancy Announcement To Husband
1. A scavenger hunt
There’s nothing better for a baby announcement than to play a little game with your husband. Something during family game night or a similar event or even just as a casual surprise with the promise of a gift at the end.
A scavenger hunt is ideal for that. Make him follow the clues until he finally reaches the prize, a positive pregnancy test and the news that he’s going to be a dad.
2. A surprise in a box
Something simple that you can do at home is grab any baby gear you have lying around and a note, shirt, or onesie that says “Hi, Daddy” to announce the new arrival to your husband. Put it all in a box and you’re good to go!
3. The key to his heart
Why not get a custom-engraved keychain to tell your husband that he’ll soon have a partner in crime for all his favorite pastimes.
4. Finally some good food
