This can either be:

  • a photo book documenting your marriage/relationship so far - ending with the surprise announcement at the end of the book - which creates a special keepsake for you and your family members.
  • or just a simple snippet of photos during the first couple of months of pregnancy, documenting the journey so far -  a creative way to announce to friends and family that you are pregnant!  Ex: outside the Dr's office, the pregnancy test box, crazy food cravings, etc. all leading up to the surprise announcement at the end of the book.

After the big pregnancy announcement, a baby shower will be just around the corner. Here’s a quick breakdown of the different types of baby showers you can have:

  • Traditional: Held for the mother-to-be and usually hosted by a close friend or extended family member.
  • Co-Ed Shower: A celebration honoring both parents that usually involves inviting both men and women guests, or couples.
  • Gender Reveal: a gathering hosted by the parents-to-be or a close friend or family member.  The gender of the baby is revealed in a clever way. Usually light snacks are served. Gifts are optional. Can also be in addition to a baby shower. 
  • Sip And See: A celebration where friends and family are invited to meet the baby for the first time. This usually takes the place of a baby shower. Food and drinks are served and guests bring gifts for the new baby. 
  • Baby Sprinkle: A sprinkle is a toned-down shower often held for parents who are having a second baby or third baby and don’t need much in terms of big items (they already have a stroller, bassinet, etc.) Guests usually bring necessities for gifts such as diapers, supplies, clothes and blankets.
  • Adoption Shower: A special celebration for the adoption of a child. Can be held before or after the baby arrives.
