So, I came across the idea to buy the M&M's that can be printed on as a way of sharing the news that I am pregnant again (when that time comes) with my husband and I will probably end up buying a few bags and using them to tell my mom and BFF as well. Any ideas of what I should write on them? I get to choose 2 colors and the only thing I can come up with right now is to get pink and put "girl?" and blue and put "boy?". I was also thinking, "pregnant" or "yes we are". I feel like there's something better out there and I just can't think of it.
Thank you!
I wanted to add that I would order these now and hide them, because there is no way I could wait for them to arrive before telling hubby.
I decided on yellow and green and one says "boy or girl?" and the other says "Knocked Up". Thanks for all the great ideas. I may end up doing them with the due date at some point, but they are kind of expensive so maybe not :O)
I had thought of the same thing and didn't go through with it, but you could also put the due date on pink and blue ones.
KNOCKED UP
BIG DADDY
TAX DEDUCTION
STORK VISITING
FAMILY +1
PICKLES - ICE CREAM
Tee hee hee hee! this was fun!
I don't know.
Can you fit the definition of a BFP on an M&M?
I don't even know what that means.
I like the idea of using your due date on the M&Ms...make them think a little to figure out the coded message. (Even if you just estimate the month/year.) Although, I guess that would require waiting until you actually got pregnant.
And maybe it's just me, but I think the blue/pink combo just gives it away by looking at it. I know if I got a random bag of candy that was all blue/pink M&Ms, I would just assume it was a baby announcement without having to read the message.
Just something to think about...not sure how "crypted" you want your announcement to be. Good luck conceiving! :)
*** PS: BFP = Big Fat Positive ;)
BFP= Big Fat Postive
Meaning she got a positive pregnancy test :)
If it's your first, 1+1=3.
We used fortune cookies!
I did the same thing except with candy tins when I became pregnant with #3. The tin was about the size of a tic-tac box and there were pacifier shaped mints inside. The front of the tin had a stork on it and the message said: Lisa and David did it again. They are expecting in 2010. Then we mailed the tin to family members and handed them out to our friends. I looked at the m&m thing but the tins were much more cost effective.
Lisa
I like either:
Got baby? (by prev post)
or just put
Girl
or
Boy .
Or you could put
Hvg Baby
Conrats!
"It's a
Baby"
You can also put pictures on them, not just words! You could find clipart of simple things like a rattle, a bottle, a pacifier.
(I see they also have a special right now - buy 3 bags of custom M&M's & get 1 free!!)
Hey there....great idea! How about "baby #2" if this is a second....or even use yellow & green (neutral colors) & say something like your older son/daughter will be a big brother/sister (i.e. Cindy's a big sister). or even "you can't have just one". I hope this helps...look forward to what you decide.
You totally rock with this idea!
Since M&M's have such a small print area & you can only put one word you could put "SCORE!" or "Winner!" or "Touchdown!" for dad with a color combo of pink & blue. If he's like my husband he would totally take these to work to show off his ultimate success in the baby makin' department.
I like the estimated due date for everyone else.
I'm trying to think of something Stork related - I'm drawing a blank.
Baby on Board won't fit, will it?
Jones Soda bottles. Those are also customizable with ANYTHING & you can pick your flavors.
http://www.myjones.com/ We did this for my son's first birthday party (our last name is Jones)... Everyone had a hoot checking out each label with photos from our first year of delightful misadventures.
Good luck. Great ideas!
I like the Got Baby ideal. But I REEEAAALLY wanna know what BFP stands for??????????
Put grandma on there!
I like the due date idea. I also like "Baby makes 4" (or however many you have in your family). =)
Oops again! (As in Oops we did it again)!
Blessings....
I second Shane. What the heck is BFP? Maybe it's just too early for me to think.
