This surprise will have your family and friends excitedly cutting into the cake to find out what the surprise is.
Create a "Big Brother" or "Big Sister" t-shirt
If you already have a child, create a custom "big brother" or "big sister" t-shirt with the due date of the new baby. 
Ask your child to wear it to family gatherings or events, and wait for the excitement and congratulations to start rolling in.
Use a custom-made puzzle
Have a custom-made puzzle created with a picture of you and your partner, and the message "We're expecting!" written in the middle. 
As your family and friends put the puzzle together, they'll be surprised and delighted by the news.
Surprise them with a onesie
Buy a cute baby onesie with a message on it, such as "Hello World" or "Coming Soon." 
Wrap it up and give it to your family and friends as a surprise gift. Their reactions will be priceless.
Plan a scavenger hunt
Create a scavenger hunt for your family and friends, with clues that lead to the announcement of your pregnancy. 
It can be as simple or as elaborate as you want it to be, but it will definitely be a memorable way to share the news.
Make a photo announcement
Take a creative photo of your family that announces your pregnancy. 
You can use props, signs, or even pets to help make the announcement extra special. 
Share the photo on social media, or send it out as a printed announcement.
Host a baby-themed party

You can use animation, music, or even choreography to help make the announcement extra special. Share the video on social media, or send it out as a private message to family and friends.

How did you announce to your kids? It will still be a few weeks but we have 10 and 11 year old girls, one of whom has been BEGGING for a baby for years. I'm so excited, she's going to lose her mind!
