Announcing you're pregnant in autumn

Announcing you’re pregnant is no light matter. Especially if this is your first, or maybe even the first grandchild, it is important to make this announcement extra special.

The news alone can absolutely warm the hearts of those who hear it, but on a chilly autumn night with family gathered, you can catch your family by surprise with this adorable idea using coffee mugs.

Family gatherings seem particularly cozy in the cooler months and during this season there’s plenty of opportunities to come together with the holidays approaching. On a chilly night, whether it be a casual family dinner or Thanksgiving, there’s comfort in finishing off a meal with a hot beverage. Hot apple cider, decaf coffee, tea, and hot chocolate all have one thing in common- they’re all served in mugs. As you fetch the preferences of your relatives, you can serve them more than just the toasty beverage they’ve requested by bringing them out in personalized mugs reading “Grandma/Grandpa,” “Aunt/Uncle,” or “Godmother/Godfather” and watch as they catch on to the news. Just be sure the recipients have a steady grip and won’t spill their warm favorite all over themselves from excitement…

The mugs will certainly start a memorable conversation about your expectancy. What’s even better is that they can keep and use the mugs for years to come and have a constant reminder that something else- a special somebody- will soon be giving them an even better snuggly feeling.

So gather the mugs, watch the smiles spread, and make a toast for a happy family!
