Ideas to tell the family

[mum2ethan]

Hi all i need your help with some ideas to tell the family... with DS i was 9 weeks when xmas came along so i wrapped up the "what to expect when expecting" book and opened it infront of everyone...

so i figured i will be 11 and a half weeks when easter comes around...

Any ideas what i could do??? :idea:

If you are handy in the kitchen, buy some chocate moulds and put fortunes in the chocolate you make! You can make little slips saying things like Congrats Grandma, Keep October free, We're Pregnant! etc etc

Thanks thats a great idea, but how can you do it so the paper doesnt stick to the chocolate?:chef:

Any more suggestions at all? Is anyone else telling the family on easter??

You could give them a rattle as a present for Easter - that's what I gave my mother for her birthday.

I wish I was telling family at Easter !

You could get easter egg moulds ( u kow the ones that let you do half the egg at a time) Print out little notes and pop inside the egg halves before you seal them. So when they break the egg the notes inside.

You can get the little things out of the 20c Machine's that the rings and toys come in. Then make the round easter eggs

well i have decided to cheat and buy ready made easter eggs and just put a little hole in it big enough to roll up the bit of paper and slip it in... im just trying to figure out a riddle to put on it... this is what i have so far let me know what you think...
Look ahead in 6 months time what do you see? U will see a mini Melanie... but then again maybe a little Ben...
I was just going to leave it at the Mini Mel bit but then i thought they will jump to the conclusion that it was a girl (which my grandmother will)
But i dunno yet still a work in progress...

[Kachow]

:laughing: LOL.. cheat !

The riddle sounds great !!!

[mum2ethan]

hehe i know cheating :devil6: but just think... less mess, and knowing ethan he will probably be sticking his hand in the bowl of chocolate at any chance he got!! :laughing:

Thanks for the feedback!!

"What is pink or blue and in 6 months due" ?

hehehe. too cheesy?

[mum2ethan]

Hi Geeg,

Just a thought...Most people don't eat there easter eggs all in the one day. So are you going to say "oh, there is something inside for you" or just wait until they eat it 6 months later!!!

[mum2ethan]

Im going to print off a sign saying "fortune easter egg - really does tell the future" or something to that effect and stick it on the egg and hopefully they wont be able to resist...

I wish i was having twins!!(well i dont actually know cos i havent had a scan yet) but i just thought of the perfect riddle:

If you look ahead for 6 months time
you will be passed the stage of seeing 2 lines
something pink or something blue
is there one? or is there two?

HAHA sorry im a bit excited :smiliedance: can you tell?? :laughing: but i love it!! so funny!!

You could still do that!!! That is a good idea

[mum2ethan]

or there is this one:

If you look ahead to 6 months time
you will be passed the stage of seeing 2 lines

Can you hear that little noise?
Or picture a room full of toys?

can you see a little bump yet?
pink or blue? place your bet.
