Our customer's favourite ways to announce their pregnancy to grandparents, aunties and uncles

Once the two of you know, there's a whole list of people waiting to hear it - and the way you tell them is half the fun. Siblings get their big brother and big sister moment, but the grandparents, aunties, uncles and soon-to-be godparents deserve a reveal of their own.

Here's how to break the news to the wider family, with a keepsake that lands the moment for babies, toddlers and big kids alike.

Telling the grandparents

There's a particular look on a parent's face when they find out they're about to become a grandparent, and a "Promoted To Grandparents" bodysuit or tee is built to catch it. Because every piece is made to order, you're not stuck with generic wording - you can name them exactly the way your family does.

One customer did exactly that:

"Great announcement gift for the grandparents. Good quality and as described." - Vernice

That small swap is the whole point. Poppy, Nonna, Baka, Avó - call them what your family calls them, and the announcement stops being a product and starts being personal.

For the aunties and uncles

Siblings becoming aunties and uncles is its own milestone, and there's a design for it. A "You're Going To Be An Aunty" or "Uncle" bodysuit does the reveal in a photo, and it's just as good posted to the group chat as it is handed over in person. Add their name and the due month and it doubles as a keepsake they'll actually hold onto.

The godparents ask

Asking someone to be a godparent is a moment in its own right, and a "Will You Be My Godparents?" bodysuit makes the ask for you. It's personalised with your names and printed to order, so the writing reads exactly the way you want it.

As one customer put it:

"Super CUTE. Can't wait to put on the baby to show her future godparents!" - Viviane

That's the bit that matters with a personalised piece - the print landing exactly as you pictured it.

Call them what your family calls them

This is where a made-to-order piece earns its keep. Not every grandparent is a "Grandma", not every uncle goes by "Uncle". Because we design and print each piece in Australia just for your order, you can put the real name on it - the one that's used at every family dinner. That's the difference between a shirt anyone could buy and one that only makes sense in your family.

A quick note on timing

Every piece is made to order, so give the reveal a little breathing room - enough time for us to make it and get it to you before the moment you've planned. If it's timed to a birthday, a family lunch or a scan, order with a few days up your sleeve.
