Should I tell him I'm pregnant alone?

Question

My husband and I have planned an anniversary dinner for our friends (1couple) at a restaurant and we will also be celebrating him passing his Journeyman Electrician test, but I would also like to celebrate something else! ;o) My plan is either to have them bring out a special dessert that I am going to give to the restaurant ahead of time with "congratulations daddy" on it or to ask the waiter to lay the napkin in each of our laps but put a baby bib in his, OR possibly since they have a live band playing there having them announce it from the stage. I'm not worried about his reaction because he wants a baby. Are any of these good ideas, if so, which one, or should I tell him privately?

Answer 1

i like all these ideas good luck and congratulations

Answer 2

Well if you are close enough with these friends to share your other important accomplishments (anniversary and exams) then I would tell him there.  I would do the cake idea since it wouldn't be too over the top.  If you wanted a different idea, you could have dessert served in bowls that you provide to the restaurant.  In the bottom of the bowl that will hold his dessert write with marker "We are having a Baby".  He will see it when he gets to the bottom.  Congrats to both of you!!!

Answer 3

I think the cake is a good idea, or to give him a card that says "Congrats Daddy" and sign it Baby _ _ _ _  (insert your last name)!!!!

Congrats!!

Answer 4

i think the cake would be a very good idea and i think it is sweet to share it with  your friends and if you both have been wanting this for a while there is no need to have to tell him alone. and hey he might be so excited the whole restraunt would find out anyway. congratulations! :)

Answer 5

I honestly like all your ideas but the one i think would be the most interesting is the one with the special dessert withe the wording congrats daddy on it.  I think that one would be the best way to tell your husband.  and then you would be able to share the dessert with anyone sitting at your table.  I would be one way if telling your husband and he won't forget the way that you told him about you being pregnant.  If the restaurant can't do that I would see if the band could do it then, but personally i like the dessert idea the best.  and congrats on your pregancy.  

Answer 6

youre a natural born romantic woman.

it's up to the dude

meet him halfway

Answer 7

I think you should get him a hallmark card.... and put a pair of baby booties in a box and gift wrap it anniversary paper and let him open it. Or put your + positive pregnancy test in a box as a gift but clean the tip of it.....good luck have a wonderful pregnancy.

Answer 8

I like the cake idea a lot, i sure think you should give him the news alone.
