Creative ways of telling the grandparents-to-be???

[homebound]

I would really like a creative way of telling our parents that we are expectant parents, any ideas and/or experiences that were fun?!

At DBIL wedding we told DH's Grandparents - (3 of them) - BIL asked us to btw.

We said - now it's all over etc. (at reception) we have some news too - all 3 said in unison "You're pregnant"

We said "how do you know?"

They said (again in unison) "PBR isn't drunk yet..."

Oh and for some heart warming videos if you go on You Tube there are loads of Grandparents finding out - alot are cheesy and most are American but it's all very heart-warming.

like this one

Honestly - you will now be here all night going from one to the next....

I disovered promotions company which could organise those banners behind aeroplanes. So they hired a plane, and tied a banner to the back with "LYNETTE is HAVING A BABY" on it. It was flown over my parents house when I went round for sunday lunch.

Actually, I made that up, incase you hadn't guessed.

My Mum knits a lot and my brother and sister-in-law handed her a baby pattern and asked her when she would be starting to knit. She was ecstatic and has since knitted loads of gorgeous stuff for my nephews and my DS. And DC2 will be next.

Not the same but... for DH I found his tshirt with 'Who's the Daddy!?' on it and put 2 pregnancy tests on it on the bed, he came home from work, went to get changed and just stood staring at it for a good few minutes!

We told my parents that dd had learnt something new today, shes 20mo and they were expecting a new word or dance. We then told them she had learnt she was going to be a big sister. My mam clicked immediately but it took a few seconds for dad to catch on.

P.S at 6 weeks pg this thread is not good for my emotional instability. Welling up at each post.

Lynette you're wicked - nearly spat my coffee out.

With dc3 I could barely tell my mum as i was laughing so hysterically as it was a total surprise and dc2 was still a baby.

Congratulations!

PortBlacksandResident -- That a very cruel link to show to a highly emotional woman!! Ive just watched a few and now in floods or tears!!

My booking-in appt was just before Christmas and the mw did a foetal heartbeat scan on the audio thing, so it was like an early scan. DP recorded it on his phone right there (took a lot of attempts, mw was very patient with us!) We were giving both sets of parents those digi photo frames anyway, so we loaded the audio on it and waited for them to notice. Actually we'd told my parents already because otherwise we knew there'd be no non-alcoholic drinks in the house and we were going there over Christmas. DP's parents didn't get it at all, they asked their neighbour what she thought this funny noise was when they switched their present on. But after that they loved it!

PBR just watched the link and I'm also in floods on tears. I want to tell my family again

I found out i was pregnany on December 16th. i waited to tell my Mum till we saw them at Christmas. I gave her a Xmas card address to nanny and Grandad and wrote inside 'to Nanny & Grandad.....see you in 34 weeks. Love baby.

Took a few seconds for her to realise - then she cried !!
