Fall Pregnancy Announcement

About this time I was sporting an itty-bitty little belly (Gannon the Dog didn’t know what was coming) and was giddy with excitement to share the news with our friends and family. We had kept it a secret from our parents, grandparents and the rest of our family for the entire first trimester, which sometimes involved “fake” drinking coffee. We were a little bummed because it just wasn’t going to work out to tell our family in person because everyone is all spread out across the West Coast, so I wanted to have some sort of creative way to tell them that didn’t involve calling them and saying… “oh, hey. we’re pregnant!”

I thought about it tons and scrolled through Pinterest looking at every single fall pregnancy announcement out there. I finally settled with photos at the pumpkin patch and a cute little box with a mini pumpkin inside announcing our due date. I made two different sized boxes. Both boxes has fun mini pumpkins announcing our due date. The larger boxes for our parents were complete with full size photos and pictures of our first ultrasound and filled to the brim with candy. The smaller boxes held some mini pictures and a couple of pieces of candy for everyone else. We had a bunch of boxes to make because we sent one to each set of parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles and some cousins (we had already told all of our siblings first, they win I guess, haha).

So we headed to the pumpkin patch and snapped a couple of pics. For the record, my pumpkin patch is cooler than yours. I mean, seriously?! I know it was a cloudy day, but will you just look at the amazing Smith Rock backdrop? Can’t beat it.

Hop on over to our blog to see how we made these fun packages to announce that we were adding a pumpkin to our patch!
