Last night I found out my girlfriend is (probably) pregnant. We'll know for sure in a couple hours. I already have a huge to-do list but I'm kind of freaking out and I really want to start asking people for advice, but obviously before I can do that we're going to have to announce it to family and friends. So to that end, I'm asking for help with ideas on how to make it unique and fun. This would be our first child. Example: We've all seen this before-  It's cute, fun, and straightforward. As a "theme" I thought something having to do with "rolling" a character in a game, although I'm not sure how we would implement it without it being ambiguous to non-gamers. That was just one thought, and that's pretty much all I've got so far. If anyone has any ideas please post them! I'd be forever grateful.

write the announcement on a realdoll, set it afloat in the nearest river and see if anyone picks it up before it drifts out to the sea

Guess I should've expected these responses, it just puzzles me how hypocritical this forum can be with its rules sometimes. You can't tell people to kill themselves, but telling another poster they should abort their unborn child is entirely cool.EMCF posted:Send a letter to the people who matter, spare the world your meme bullshit. A "meme" is exactly what I DON'T want. I just wanted something cute to share with friends and family, NOT anyone else. Gooddamn you goons seriously act like the most joyless bitter people on the internet. According to you guys wedding invitation and/or guestbook ideas are also "meme bullshit" too, right? gently caress those people who try to make huge life events special.

maybe you can send a nice letter to your friends and family telling them to expect a new bundle of joy for the family. perhaps have a barbeque and then spring the good news on them then

Print a T-shirt that says "I inseminated her vagina" with an arrow pointing left. then have you wife stand on the left  The cool thing about this idea is, now you have a fun commemorative T-shirt you can wear to show everyone that you're a proud father to be!

I want to suggest something like 'new game+' but that wouldn't work for the olds/non-gamers i guess

I'd like to make a serious suggestion, but nearly everything I think of is so twee I cringe. Maybe you could invite your loved ones to advise you and your girlfriend through the process of character creation? Or do something with Sims screenshots, if either of you plays or has access to a helpful Simming friend? A gamer-themed announcement is a little doofy, but it's the kind of doofy that's born out of excitement and happiness. Bless you. I wish you the best.

Had an idea last night. The woman likes puzzles, so I was thinking maybe I could create a jigsaw puzzle one piece at a time based on our dogs and us, ending with the final piece which would be the baby. Thing is I don't carve wood. I can program, so I thought about coding a webpage with this functionality, but that sounds much more lame, plus I can't draw. Also, not sure if I REALLY like the idea.Ironic Twist posted:maybe something involving "This is my final form" and an arrow pointing at your wife's womb, idk Sitting Here posted:I want to suggest something like 'new game+' but that wouldn't work for the olds/non-gamers i guess Kaishai posted:I'd like to make a serious suggestion, but nearly everything I think of is so twee I cringe.

You know what would be unique and interesting in today's world? Just getting on the phone and calling people. If they aren't important enough to justify the phone call, then they can hear about the pregnancy through social media/grapevine. If they are important, pick up the phone and give them a call.

The gently caress? How the hell does that focus all the attention on the OP? No one is going to think how clever and quirky they are if they keep is dignified!!

You can't tell people to kill themselves, but telling another poster they should abort their unborn child is entirely cool. This is not tumblr. Nobody has to lick you. That said, congratulations on your impending new arrival, seriously! I came up with a few ideas for your baby announcement: - Put three pairs of flip-flops in the sand with baby-sized ones in the middle (that's thongs, if you're from a country where people say "thongs" for flip-flops like some kinda god drat retards [note: I apologize for saying "retard" in front of your baby and I hope I don't give it ideas]). Write, "Coming Summer 2017!" - Put three thongs (the butt kind, not the foot kind) in the sand and write "Cumming Summer 2017" and also draw a winky face. - Paint the woman's bump to look like an egg and write LOL GET IT????????/ in Comic Sans above it. - Paint the female's protrusion to look like a cabbage and write "Cabbage Patch kids are all orphans, but this one probably won't be!" - Paint the hyoo-mon fee-male blue and shave her head and put glasses on her and write "if I were an Analrapist, she wouldn't even be pregnant!" This is important because nerd poo poo is good for babby development; it's like folic acid or something. - Get a bunch of Gypsies to stand around your womyn and act like they're snatching the baby out of her and write "PRE-ORDER NOW!!!" Because Gypsies are dirty and bbabby-thieving. Everyone knows that. - Bury yourself in seagull carcasses and have your mouth open and all kinds of crayfish coming out of your mouth and also Photoshop some dollar signs over your eyes because YOUR PENIS IS MONEY CHAMP. - Do a before and after Weight Watchers-style ad. But also maybe dress the bbbaby as a hamburger or something because lol fatties eat burgers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Don't be such a loving whiner. Congratulations on your kid. I hope it is better at gauging appropriateness than you are.

We've definitely already called our closest friends and family and let them know. This would be just for the "facebook" friends really. This is mostly for her; she likes this kind of stuff what can I say.Fleta Mcgurn posted:This is not tumblr. Nobody has to lick you. I love these and you and I apologize.
