How can I tell my parents we're expecting?

I need a fun and unique way to tell my parents that my husband an I are expecting our first child.

Answer #1

Just thinking - take over a movie on vcr-tape and tell them something like ‘mom/dad you gotta watch this ! it happens about 5 mins into the movie, I couldn’t believe it !! tell me what you think !….and of course 5 mins in you tape the one/two of you telling them/hinting at it/holding a sign - if you’re there in person, hubby could be ready with the camera to capture their reaction when they realize the news !….anyway, an idea, wish you all the very best !!

Answer #2

Here’s A Fun Lil Idea..hope you like it <3 Alrighty, If You’ve Got the $$$ right now, then get the nursery for the kid all fixed up. Like the crib, painted walls, changin table;; ect. And Once YOu Get This Done..Invite Your Parents Over To You’re Home, And Say Somethings Like Wrong In The Nursery Room Or Something, and you want them to take a look at the problem. :D Then when they walk into the room, they’ll see all the baby stuff and things of that sort;; which leads to them being very surprised about this, because they TOTALLY weren’t expecting that. Right? Am i Right? I THinK SO!

If that isnt going to work out for you then try this…..

–» Take Your Parents out for a day of fun. Then, have dinner w//. them at a nice restaurant at the end of the day w//. you and your husband. [[bring a passifire w//. you, tied to a cute lil ribbon that has a small card on the end which states “its a girl//boy” or if ur not sure of the sex, “we’re having a baby”]] and tell the waiter when he serves your parents drinks, to put the passifire into the glass, w/ the ribbon coming out of the top of the glass, that shows wat the card says. It’ll surprise them, and at the perfect moment {Dinner!}

Good luck..

Answer #5

Okay, I have the best one ever, and I can’t wait to use it on my fiancee’s parents when we get pregnant.

Go over to their house one night for dinner or a nice occasion and bring a camera. Start taking casual pictures and then go to take a picture of them together. Right when they pose, instead of telling them to say cheese, say “We’re going to be grandparents!’ “ Then take a picture right when it sinks in! It can be a great picture for the baby book!

If you choose to do it this way, please let me know how it turns out!
