Cupid’s Advice:Â
Sometimes it can be difficult to let friends and family know about something unexpected in your life. Â Cupid shares some advice:

2. Simplicity: Keep it simple.  Don’t complicate things by making small talk or making up a reason as to why you  may have gathered people together.  Be prepared with what you’re going to share, and be straightforward.
3. Knowledge: Think of questions friends and family may ask about the expected baby or engagement. Â Be prepared for possible bad reactions, but expect the best from the people you love.
