Announcing a pregnancy is an incredibly exciting event for many expectant parents. When it comes time to share the news of a baby on board, parents channel all of their creativity into finding the perfect way and time to let the world in on their little secret. If you discover that you're expecting during the holiday season, consider a New Year's pregnancy announcement. Nothing rings in the new year like news of a baby!

Fun Ways to Announce Baby Without Using Words
If you are pulling double duty and telling friends and family that you're pregnant on New Year's Eve, create a surprise that they won't see coming. Think about showering guests with pink and blue confetti at midnight, serving champagne in baby bottle-shaped glasses, or going really big and setting off pink and blue fireworks to ring in the New Year. No matter how you choose to announce that you are joining Club Parent, do it in a way that reflects your nature and your vibe. It isn't every day that you get to announce a pregnancy!
