Idea #2 - Stage a game played with multiple dice that use a cup like Yahtzee, Parcheesi, Boggle... On Four of the Dice use a label maker and paste each dice with the following words: WE'RE HAVING A BABY(Make sure each dice has the same word on all sides). Preload the cup with the special dice and hand it to the intended user on their turn. You may want to go a few rounds before doing the old switcheroo to throw the other person off. If making your own dice seems like too much work we do offer custom made dice at a reasonable price and that would make a great keepsake.

Idea #3 - One of the most loved and recognizable games is the Game of Life. Purchase one of our Unique Diarama Life Box. The box has the recognizable Life name on top, a replica of the spinner image on the sides and inside a special part of the board that states to Add a Boy or Add a Girl. We include an original Life Game Car with Four Pegs, Two pegs representing the parents and one pink and one blue peg representing the child. Tell us if you are having a boy or girl and we will glue the car into the space next to the significant spot on the board.

Idea #4 - Giving your family a picture of your ultrasound has been done...many times over. Still, some people like to put them in cards, under towels, in the fridge... Here is a fun way to use the ultrasound and disguise it while creating a profound moment. Buy a picture frame that has two sides that fold toward the middle. In other words, the side photos should fold inward to cover a center photo that is equal to the width of both side photos. These are a little tricky to find. Again, we can offer it here if you can't find your own. Make sure the side photos face out with the frame closed. Put a picture of the mom to be on one side and a picture of the dad to be on the other. It's even better if you can get photos where they face each other a little. When the two sides are open the center photo should reveal the ultrasound. Kind of like two people creating a combination of themselves.
Idea #5 - A little take off idea #4. Buy one of those photo collages that allows you to put wallet photos of a childs school years from Kindergarten to graduation where the graduation photo is large in the middle. On one side show photos of the father from childhood to adult, on the other show the mother. In the large middle image place the ultrasound photo.
