Pregnancy Announcement Idea and Tutorial

October 15, 2013 by Lauren Leave a Comment

We have been keeping this a secret for quite some time and are super excited to finally share . . .

Christmas Baby Pregnancy Announcement


I am 30 weeks pregnant and due Christmas day!

Hubs, Babe and I are anxiously awaiting our precious package.  We could not have asked for a better Christmas gift.

Want to create a Pregnancy Announcement like mine?  Here is how!

 

Supplies:

Ribbon- Your choice of colors.  I got mine at Sam’s Club because I love their ribbon and they have giant spools.
Wire
Cardstock
Something white for the backdrop.  I used poster board, but you can also use a sheet.
Tape
PicMonkey

Directions:

1. Make the bow and wrap it around your belly.  I used floral wire to hold my bow together.

2. Create a giant gift tag out of cardstock and tape it to your belly so it looks like it is coming out from under the ribbon.

3. Stand in front of the white backdrop.  Make sure there is good lighting.

4.  Have someone take the picture of you!

5.  Once your picture is uploaded to your computer add the words and date to it using PicMonkey.com.

6.  Share the photo with your family and friends!

    Congratulations!!! One of my cousins was born on Christmas day during a really terrible snow storm. I’ll never forget one year when she was young. We were all at church on Christmas Eve (it wasn’t her regular church). The minister asked during the children’s message if the kids knew whose birthday was the next day and she screamed, “mine!” Adorable picture by the way.

    OMG… Congrats! A Christmas baby is so exciting. My son Dexter was due on the 21 of December but he held out for Christmas day. lol…. I wasn’t happy about being over due but was happy about my gift on Christmas day. He was born at 3 am in the morning and he just so happened to be the first baby born on Christmas day where we had him. 🙂
