When you have a big announcement to make do you just drop the news or do you plan something special to reveal it? My husband and I have tried to think of creative ways to tell our families when we are expecting a baby. Fortunately, timing has always been right around an event when all our family is together. When I was pregnant with Autumn we told everyone at our college graduation party by doing a fun game with questions about us. One of the questions was something along the lines of "What job does Melissa have lined up and when does she start?" It was exciting to let everyone know I was going to be a mama! This time everyone was together for Autumn's first birthday and we had her open a present that I made, a onesie that said, "big sister to be!" 
I love surprising people, it is so much fun! How have you surprised people with news before?
