Christmas Pregnancy Announcements

When I first realized we'd {hopefully} be past the 16 week mark around the time our Christmas cards went out this year, I had a thought -- what if we sent out Christmas cards + Pregnancy announcements combined in one?!?!  I did what I normally do, and turned to Google for inspiration.  Let me tell you, there are some very cute pregnancy Christmas cards out there!!!  Here are a few of my faves:

Since hubby has been waiting to share our news with some of his extended family in person though, we decided against this route, in favor of inserting little announcement poems into regular Christmas greeting cards for the people who already knew or who we wanted to tell via card.  Here are the 3 different poems we used:

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...

Oh what fun it is to say "a baby's on the way”!!!

Someone tiny and very dear, will join our family in the coming year! With great joy, we are excited to announce that we’re expecting a baby in May!

Our family of two will soon become three… in May 2014 we’ll be adding a baby to our family tree!

The reactions from people who have already gotten their cards are so sweet.  :)  Spreading happy news is fun!!  I feel bad that the people in Hubby's extended family didn't get a poem with their card, but we have a few fun announcements planned for them later this week -- wish us luck!
