Would you announce it at the wedding reception?

I would not announce it at your reception. I would however include it in your thank you cards.

I would write it in the thank you cards- I think that's a great idea.

Otherwise, if you do decide to tell them at the reception, I would make an announcement rather than telling everyone individually, as they will probably spread it around to other guests before you get a chance to speak with them. Some people might get offended that, for example, a work acquaintance found out first and told them about the pregnancy rather than hearing it directly from you.

Congrats!

First of all Congrats!

I would not do an announcement at the reception. You have focused so much on this day the celebration should be uniting the two of you. The thank you cards are a nice idea.

How did you tell people for your first child? Maybe you want to tell people this week and then everyone will end up knowing by the wedding!

Have fun at your wedding! Take a moment to step back and realize everyone is there for you and your husband. Make sure you get pictures outside.

I think your wedding day needs to be focused on the two of you becoming husband and wife. Save the baby announcement for another time. I don't think things like that are appropriate at a wedding reception.

I used to work for a DJ and one couple got the Chicago Bulls announcer to announce their wedding party to the the Bulls entro theme. It was pretty cool! Another friend of mine had her DJ announce the wedding party and they all did the stroll while walking in..the bridal parting forming a line on each side and then the bride and groom walked down between them to the song from Happy Days...hey, it was kinda cheesy, but everyone loved it...and they all knew the song!

I would wait until after the reception. I know I wouldnt want people to think I'm only getting married becuase I'm pregnant again or something like that. let your wedding day be about you and your fiance as the rest of your life will be about your children. congrats and good luck.

If you think people are going to be happy for you, then sure. go ahead and announce it at the reception. (and make the announcement during the speech, don't go telling people individually. once one person nows they will tell 10 others and those people will be pissed they didn't know first) If you think people are going to be shocked and not happy about it, then don't ruin your big day by listening to their b i t ching. Just wait til after.

congrats on both the wedding and the baby!!!

A wedding is supposed to be about the marriage. People are there to congratulate you on finally being grownup and making things legal and permaanent for your child. If you make an announcement at the wedding, people will whisper and say "Oh, no wonder they got married" which would detract from the love that, hopefully, made you decide and not any pressure. Hey! When the baby arrives in 5 months or when people see you on the street in a couple of months, they'll know what's going on. Also, thank you cards are for "Thank you"', If I got a Thank you card and it also mentioned a pregnancy I would be thinking that you are already hinting for another gift for the baby shower. Too much!!

If you are going to announce at the wedding reception, I would make an announcement rather than telling people individually. Otherwise, the rumors are likely to start flying around the room, and it's nicer if everybody can hear it directly from you.

I wouldn't announce it at the wedding.

Send it in the thank you cards.

The wedding itself should be more about just the two of you!

Congratulations!

There's nothing wrong with announcing it at the reception but I think making the announcement in the thank you cards or a follow up email is a better idea. If you are computer savvy, you may want to include a sonogram picture in the correspondence.
