5 Best affordable ways to tell your family you are expecting

1. Baby Outfit

-This is a great affordable, meaningful, and cute way to share that you are expecting. You can find a baby bodysuit anywhere and make it yourself, or simply buy it already made online also. All you have to do is get the bodysuit, wrap it and gift it to your loved ones at a get together. If you want to make it more of a surprise and nonchalant you can leave it in the laundry bin and have who you want to share the news with you either help you with the laundry or ask for them to go find something in the basket for you and there it will be laying for them to see.

2. Wooden Sonogram Photo Box

- This product is around $9-$13 and is so cute and will last a lifetime. It is a small wooden sonogram photo box that has "surprise" written on the top. Once you open it, an accordion of strong board like paper has a message, a date, and then it shows your sonogram photo. Not only is this cute and simple, but it makes a nice keepsake for the ones you gift it to, to share your news.

3. Lottery Ticket

- Okay, so this one is so cute! If your family and friends are into lottery tickets this is a genius idea. Have a game night, and bring everyone $1 lottery tickets, then add this one into the bunch. Once everyone is there hand out the lottery tickets and make sure you give the one that shares your news to one person you know will give a huge reaction. Have everyone start scratching at the same time, and the one who gets the baby reveal will win the best lotto!

4. T-shirts

- This is a simple cute way to walk into a party or dinner with the news across your belly! This is a funny way to share the news because some people won't read or notice or comprehend what your shirt says at first. Then the middle of dinner one person might actually see what your shirt says and then it's a PARTY! There are so many options on shirts out there. You can also have your other half wear the shirt that says "Im going to be a dad" or something similar!

5. Jigsaw Puzzle

- A Puzzle is a fun and exciting way to tell your loved one's you are pregnant. There are only a few pieces and it doesn't take long to put together. What is really nice about this one, is that both adults and kids can put this together and it really be a whole family effort. It is cute and random so your friends and family would never expect it. Especially if you have a game night and this is one of the games.

I hope you all enjoy this season in life of telling the most amazing news about your little one! These are all inexpensive ways that will make this memory for your family and friends that last a life time. What is nice about these 5 ideas, is that they are all random and no one would think right off the bat that you are telling them you are about to be a mommy.
