Nan to Be Pregnancy Announcement: Personalised Ways to Reveal Your Baby News

Finding out you're expecting a baby is a moment you'll never forget.

Then comes another exciting part – deciding how you're going to tell everyone else.

And when it's time to tell your mum, mother-in-law or another special person that she's going to become a Nan, you might want to make the announcement a little more memorable than simply sending a text message.

A Nan to Be Pregnancy Announcement Gift gives you a fun and personal way to reveal the news while giving the new grandmother something connected to the occasion.

At Spotted Lizard Prints in Stafford, Staffordshire, we create personalised gifts for pregnancy announcements, new babies and those exciting new family titles.

How Do You Announce Someone Is Going to Be a Nan?

There are countless ways to share pregnancy news.

You could announce it over dinner, during a family gathering, on a birthday or simply when you next visit.

But there's something particularly exciting about handing someone a wrapped present when they have absolutely no idea what's inside.

At first, they think you've simply bought them a gift.

Then they read the words.

Nan to Be.

Promoted to Nan.

Baby Coming Soon.

And suddenly the reason for the present becomes clear.

That's what makes personalised gifts such a great option for pregnancy reveals – the gift itself can deliver the announcement.

Personalised Nan to Be Gifts

The best pregnancy announcement gift doesn't necessarily need to be expensive or elaborate.

It just needs to suit the person receiving it.

Think about your future Nan.

What does she enjoy?

What will she actually use or display?

What will make her smile when she realises what you're telling her?

Choosing a personalised gift around her interests can make the reveal even more individual.

Promoted to Nan Gifts

A Promoted to Nan Gift is a simple way to celebrate her brand-new family title.

Depending on the chosen product and available personalisation, you could incorporate wording around becoming a Nan along with names, dates or another special message.

The important part is that the wording makes the announcement clear.

This can work particularly well when you want to record the reaction.

Hand over the present, have your camera ready and wait for the moment she works out exactly what it means.

Personalised Gifts for a Nan Who Loves Bingo

If the Nan-to-be loves her bingo nights, why not incorporate that into the announcement?

A Personalised Bingo Bag for Nan provides a more unusual way to reveal the pregnancy while giving her something connected to one of her favourite activities.

Instead of a generic pregnancy announcement, you're choosing something around the person receiving the news.

Fill it with a couple of little surprises, wrap it up and let the personalised wording reveal what's coming next for the family.

Personalised Knitting Bags for Nan

Know a Nan who always has another knitting or crochet project on the go?

A Personalised Knitting Bag can make another practical announcement idea.

Choose appropriate available personalisation and turn something connected to her hobby into a way of sharing your baby news.

And who knows?

Once she knows there's a grandchild on the way, that knitting bag might soon be carrying a very small cardigan project!

Personalised Nan Cushions

For a gift designed to be displayed at home, consider a Personalised Nan Cushion.

Wording such as “Promoted to Nan” can transform a home accessory into a pregnancy announcement.

It can work particularly well if you're planning to make the announcement at her home.

Give her the wrapped cushion, let her open it and wait for the penny to drop.

Simple, personal and very difficult to misunderstand!

Photo Gifts for a Nan to Be

A personalised photo slate offers another possibility, particularly if you want a gift that can later incorporate family photographs.

Depending on the chosen design, personalised wording can celebrate her new title before baby's arrival.

After the birth, photographs of Nan and her new grandchild can give photo-based gifts an entirely new meaning.

Announcing a Nan to Be at Christmas

Christmas can be a fantastic opportunity for a pregnancy announcement because everyone already expects presents.

Place a personalised Nan-to-be gift amongst the other Christmas presents and wait for her to open it.

For a few seconds, it looks like another Christmas gift.

Then she reads the message.

If you're searching for a Christmas Pregnancy Announcement for Nan, the surprise element can make this an especially fun way to reveal the news.

A Mother’s Day Pregnancy Announcement

Mother's Day creates another natural opportunity to announce that the family is growing.

She's expecting a Mother's Day gift anyway.

She probably isn't expecting one telling her she's about to become a grandmother.

A personalised announcement can therefore add an unexpected twist to the occasion while celebrating the next generation of the family.

When Should You Announce the Pregnancy?

There's no single correct time or way to tell your family you're expecting.

Some parents share their news early, while others prefer to wait.

The right time is whenever you feel comfortable.

Once you're ready, think about how you want the reveal to happen.

Christmas?

Mother's Day?

Her birthday?

A Sunday family dinner?

Or completely out of the blue?

Sometimes the unexpected announcements are the most fun.

A New Baby – And a Brand-New Nan

Pregnancy announcements aren't only about revealing that a baby is coming.

They're also announcing new mums, dads, grandparents, aunties, uncles, brothers and sisters.

Someone you love is about to get a brand-new title.

So when it's time to announce that she's going to be Nan, why not make the reveal part of the occasion?

Choose something personal.

Wrap it up.

Have the camera ready.

Then wait for her to realise what you're really telling her.

From Spotted Lizard Prints in Stafford, Staffordshire, our personalised pregnancy announcement gifts can help you share one very exciting piece of family news.

Baby on the way. Nan promotion confirmed.
