Let your parents know they’re becoming grandparents with these fun pregnancy announcement ideas for parents.
I’ll never forget making the rounds to our different sets of parents to share our pregnancy announcement with them.
We wanted to tell each set one-on-one as opposed to a big group setting and it was so fun to see all their different reactions.
My mom squawked like a chicken repeatedly saying “what” over and over again excitedly and it made for a very memorable day!
We loved going from house-to-house with the different ways to announce pregnancy to family.
Telling your parents that they get to be grandparents is a great joy!
