How to tell your husband about your pregnancy in a nice way

There they are - the long-awaited two stripes. You are overwhelmed with emotions: boundless joy, intense excitement, fear of the unknown - all at once. And of course, the first person with whom you share this great news is your beloved. But how to do it? Today we will tell you some original ways to tell your husband, boyfriend, and even your parents that you will soon have a baby. Don't forget to take photos and video of this wonderful event - these emotions should remain in your memory.

Set up a quest right at home. Or cover a larger area. Put the test or ultrasound scan in a pretty envelope or trunk. Tell your husband there will be a surprise at the end.
Speaking of surprises... A surprise kinder is one of the most appropriate ways to announce a future addition. You can put the test in a bunch of kinders. Or you can get fussier, but the «WOW» effect will be cooler: carefully open the kinder - it is better to take a big one, divide the chocolate egg, put the photo or test in the plastic egg, with a hot knife connect the chocolate halves, seal the foil back. Done!!!
Give a T-shirt that says: best dad in the world or something along those lines. T-shirts can also be made for future grandparents.
A cake - beautifully decorated, made to order, with an inscription to your taste. The main thing is that the box must be opened by your husband.
Another sweet option is chocolate. Here there is room for imagination. You can order chocolates with letters on each candy.

Or order chocolates from us: on one of the chocolates you can place a picture of ultrasound, on the other an inscription, on the rest your joint photos, so that it was not so easy to find the message, or choose a large chocolate bar and make a photo collage on it.
But the coolest option is of course a big chocolate puzzle or chocolate puzzle "Heart" - let the future dad collect it and only then will know what kind of surprise awaits him. When ordering use promo code SURPRISE to get 5% discount.
A ribbon around your tummy. Just tie the ribbon around your tummy. It will be the best gift of your beloved's life.
For pizza lovers. Order your husband's favourite pizza, preferably so that he is not at home and you can safely make the inscription inside the box. You can also bake the pizza at home and make the inscription with ketchup on the dish itself.
Write «Hi Daddy» on your tummy. Or draw the word «Maternity», and below it «1% downloaded» and further free cells imitating the subsequent «download» of pregnancy up to 100%. A good option for a dad-to-be who is a computer programmer or those closely associated with computers.
Postcard. It can be either store-bought or handmade.
A romantic dinner. Why not? It is a very important event and it deserves to be celebrated in a restaurant.
If you already have a baby in your family, prepare a big brother (big sister) t-shirt in advance and have your child wear it before daddy arrives.
Photo shoot. Invite your husband to a love story photo shoot. Prepare boards or sheets of paper on which you will have to write something nice to each other. At one point the photographer should ask you to turn to face each other and show what you have written. And of course he will capture the reaction of the future daddy.

If you want to share this moment with your loved ones, you can invite everyone to a big family photo shoot. The photographer will say at the right moment: «And now all together on the count of three shout: Cate (insert your name) is pregnant!» Most likely, not everyone will get the information at the same time, so it will be very funny to watch the resulting pictures. Then print out the photo cards and give them to all the participants of the photo session.
If your husband likes to be given jewellery (chains, bracelets or cufflinks, for example) and a box from a jewellery shop won't make him suspicious, then this method is for you.
For lovers of board games, this option will do the trick. If you like to play "Erudite", then lay out on the playing field or next to it the necessary words. Or vice versa, in the process of the game, when the husband will not suspect anything.

If you often play «Crocodile» and similar games, then you have a great experience in explaining words to each other, so try during the next game with friends to show or draw him your interesting position.
There is also a popular nowadays game with headphones. Husband needs to put them on, preferably so that they were dense and do not let the sound from the outside. Then you have to say the words, and he tries to read his lips. The same can be done with parents. The main thing is for everyone to realise that this is not part of the game, but for real.
Make a photo album. You can order an album with black velvet pages with a white helium pen and square photo cards from Instalook. You can decorate it with your own hands. For example, paste a photo with the most important events in your life together, starting from your acquaintance and up to today, make signatures about your feelings then and now, and at the end paste an ultrasound picture.
Put the ultrasound scan in the pocket of your husband's clothes. But then you may not be able to see his reaction.
Just tell your husband: «We're expecting a mystery guest tonight, and you'll find out who it is at dinner». You set the table for three. You sit down to dinner. The husband asks, "Well, what is the third guest, what time is he coming? And you tell him: «He's a bit delayed, he'll be in nine months» (according to your gestational age).
Put a note in a balloon, inflate it, you can inflate several pieces, let it burst and look for ? You can add confetti and glitter to the balloon to make it festive.
Tableware with inscriptions. There are several original options here too. You can find or make a plate or mug with an inscription on it «You're gonna be a daddy soon» («You'll be grandparents soon»). Put a piece of cake in there, or you can have a regular meal, pour juice in a mug or something that is finished to the bottom. Wait and watch the reaction at the end of the meal.

Mugs. You can simply put a mug in a box with the inscription and a test or ultrasound scan. Or you can order a chameleon mug from us and ask your husband to pour and bring you tea from the black mug, when he pours boiling water, he will see the most important words. If he is not too attentive to such small things, you can give a mug, sit down to drink tea together and draw his attention to it at the moment when you pour boiling water.
Texting. Sometimes you don't want to complicate life, and someone just doesn't like surprises. Then just write a text message.
Classic. Simply place in a gift box or bag an ultrasound, pinnies, dummy, bodice or any other baby paraphernalia.
Use a calendar. You can put a calendar in a prominent place with the month where the provisional delivery date will be marked. A desk calendar with each month on a separate 13 cm by 18 cm card will do. On the picture of the desired month, place the ultrasound scan. By the way, our calendars can be started from any month, which is very convenient in this situation.
Just tell him!
