Need a quick and easy way to announce your news to friends and family? Create a baby announcement video at the same time you make your announcement. This is a very common way to make the announcement and yields priceless footage for years to come.

Also, this is the best way to record without anyone knowing they are on video!

You can have a couple people in the picture or you can set the camera up to take a big family photo of everyone (including yourself).

How to make a baby announcement video.

Tell everyone you want to take a picture and line them up in front of the camera.

Be sure to set your camera to video mode.

Your line will then be “Ok, everyone say Katie’s pregnant” or “say, Katie’s pregnant”

All the celebrations and reactions are now being recorded on video.

I have seen this a lot in announcements and love that it works so well! Watch the video below to see the plan in action.
