If you already have children, involving them in a pregnancy announcement makes it really special and fun. "There are lots of cute concepts and slogans you can use to involve older siblings in pregnancy announcements, for example 'only child expiring on due date' or 'graduating to big brother,' or 'I've been promoted to big sister'. This concept still works with multiple older children, you just need to coordinate everyone's slogans. Matching baby announcement themed t-shirts make a super cute pregnancy announcement photo."
