Posted a few weeks ago asking for ideas to announce the news to family, and decided to go for boxes for everyone. Have loved buying bits and getting the Cricut out to make bits! So excited to give them to people next weekend! Will be 19 weeks - anyone still yet to share the news?

I am a bit confused, are you gifting family members baby clothes for your baby?

@Charlotte no, there's just a baby grow/bib/booties in each box for people to open and get the idea š lots of people do this, got the idea from Pinterest etc. I don't mind if they do want to keep them though as keepsakes!

Aw this is so wonderful and thoughtful! Really kind of you!

Yes, people work hard and earn their own money to do with as they choose! š If you don't like a post, I would recommend scrolling on by, rather than leaving inflammatory comments - being kind costs nothing! šø

I love this! Absolutely adorable

omg I love this!! I did little promotion cards for everyone that said ācongratulations! Youāre being promoted to nanny/grandad/auntie/uncle/Godmummyā etc & then my work is probs my favourite announcement story. Iām an avid āfriendsā fan and showed up to my last shift at the nursery before the Xmas break in a hoodie that said āthe one where everyone finds out sheās pā¢rā¢eā¢gā¢nā¢aā¢nā¢tā. I was 15 weeks and had only just started to show but you couldnāt tell under my work uniform so everyone was gobsmacked š¤š¤£ xx

@Courtney awww I loved the "promoted" cards too, but already had the boxes and thought OTT to add cards aswell haha! Aww that's cute! My colleagues don't know at work yet, and I'm weirdly anxious to tell them haha! Xx

I love the box idea and itās such a personal touch because youāve made them yourself rather than ordering cards from a company like I did š¤£š¤£!
I couldnāt wait to tell the girls at work because theyāre literally like my family. Itās such an amazing nursery I work in and they were amazing! I told my managers the week after I found out (so wouldāve only been 3 weeks) but only as Iād suffered a loss previously in 2020 so I wanted them to know in case I had to leave to go to hospital if I had any bleeding etc and they were amazingly supportive and kept it a secret which I loved!! š
