they are going to be aunts! I am trying to think of a fun/cute way to tell my sisters they are going to be aunts. My younger sister is 16 and my older sister is 28. Any ideas?
Thanks!
If either of them has a birthday coming up in the next month or so maybe buy her a ‘happy birthday Auntie’ card, I think that would be cute. Failing that, how about just casually asking them what they’re doing on a date around your due date, then when they shrug and say they don’t know say you’re roping them in for babysitting duty in that case and see how long it takes them to twig 
Hmm…I’d give you ideas from when I found out I was going to be an aunt but we didn’t really do much. For my niece and my twin nephews both, my mom told us “guess who’s pregnant”. With my step-sister, a couple weeks ago my stepdad came home and handed us a sonogram picture and left us to figure it out lol.
When I have kids, I think I’m going to get or make some aunt-themed picture frame, put a sonogram picture in it, wrap it and give it to them.
Some one I know invited the females in her family (mom, younger sisters) out to dinner and at some point they were just sitting around and she asked the waiter to take a picture. Right before he took it, she said “wow, isn’t this something? Three generations at one table!”. It took them a bit but then they got it and the previously-informed waiter snapped the picture while the mom was shocked and the sisters squealing. That’s kinda cute 
Maybe find some onesies that say something about aunts? I’ve seen a ton that say “I love my aunt”. Wrap it up, give it to them?
Definitely it would be easy if they had birthdays coming up cause then you could wrap up a picture of your sonogram or something. It would be a sweet surprise for sure.
You could also just plan an outing where you do lots of baby themed things. And then at the end of the day when they’re all like “What gives?” You could just all casually go “Oh I’ve just had babies on the brain recently cause…I"M PREGNANT!”
It depends on what their interests are, but you could try to do a small gift with a theme for each one like an “auntie and me” book if she likes to read. For the 16 year old, it might be fun to get her a new notebook for school and write “congrats” auntie on the firsts page. She may not even notice it until later, or when school has actually started which could be funny. For the older sister you could do the same with a journal or cookbook or address book…
I have no ideas. I don’t think I’m fun enough. You could just do t-shirts that say “best auntie in the world” or “auntie” followed by their name or something? Invite them over and play lots of songs about babies while eating teeny tiny cupcakes.
Since school is coming up I think that would be a super nice idea for my little sister and buy her candy like [name_f]Mini[/name_f] M&M’s, [name_u]Baby[/name_u] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Mini[/name_f] Snicker Bites, etc.
My sister does like to cook. I wanted something useful for them too 
Thanks [name_f]Amy[/name_f]!
LOL That sounds so good right now. Cupcakes meaning.
I would try to tell them privately. I like the notebook idea. The cupcakes are nice. I would go with “I’m pregnant.”
They’ll known they’ll be aunts anyway. I have an idea. You could buy two cute little outfits or something, and then say “I bought two cute little outfits that I’m going to use, but I can’t tell which one is nicer. Which do you prefer?” and then let it come out naturally.
I don’t like the birthday idea. I think telling them on their birthday would be not so good as I see it as making one of her days about you. I would not want to find my sister was pregnant on my birthday. If we were celebrating my sister’s birthday, I would not tell on her birthday. Maybe the next day…
I hate to bring up a not so great thought, but I can understand wanting to tell my sister if I was pregnant, but I would be careful about how many people I told before the first three or four months were done. My mom told a lot of people (not just family) casual friends and acquaintances that she was expecting and then had to tell them she … miscarried.
I wish you nothing but the best…
Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!
When my sister had her first we all sort of expected it because we knew she’d been trying. When she had her second, she came over to my house with her daughter, who was wearing a “big sister” shirt and just sort of let us notice on our own. She’s expecting her third and this time she texted us each a picture of the calendar for her due date and just said something like “look how busy February is going to be!”, and it took a while to notice that one of the dates had “[name_u]Baby[/name_u] #3 is due!” written on it.
You could do something similar for your younger sister; buy her a planner for school and tell her you highlighted some special days, and then go through it and highlight like days off of school, birthdays, and on your due date you could write something like “You’re going to be an aunt!” or “Your niece/nephew is due today!”
If your older sister likes to cook, you could buy/make an apron that has some sort of aunt slogan on it (“World’s best aunt,” “[name_f]One[/name_f] fabulous auntie,” “Happiness is being an aunt,” etc). And just send it to her (or drop it off if you live nearby), with a note saying you saw it and thought of her, or something.
