Any cute ideas how to announce to a crowd?

My mom is hosting a 30th birthday party for me in a few weeks. Normally I would never agree to one but I have no holiday/occasion to tell my family my news so we came up with this. My family is HUGE so there will probably be 50 people there - just aunts/uncles and grandparents. Any cute ideas how to announce to the group? I'm kind of embarassed to just yell "I have NEWS!". I'll be 14wks.

Maybe have the cake give away the secret?

That's a cute idea but I don't think I can wait until cake time (plus, my Dad is bound to slip 10-minutes into the party!)
Thanks for the idea!

Have everyone get together for a group photo- while you are about to snap the pic, say "Smile, Im pregnant!" and then take the photo of everyones face. I am hoping to get to do this myself someday!

Well you could always have the cake out as a centerpiece with the appetizers. Hehehe.

Or maybe serve the appetizers on baby theme plates...

I've been on Cafe Press for the last hour deciding if I want to order pins for all the grandparents and DH & I to wear (our parents know). Something like "Due in March", "Grandma 08", etc. Cheesy or cute?

Whatever you do is going to be cheesy in a wonderfully charming way. I think the pins sound like fun.

What about announcing it with a toast. I had a small get together for my 30th of family friends and after someone said a toast, I said I wanted to add something and said "I have a confession, there's no vodka in my martini...I'm pregnant".
