We Decided To Have A Hocus Pocus Photoshoot To Announce The Arrival Of Our Firstborn

ADVERTISEMENT

On 1st October we announced publicly that we were going to have our first child. With Halloween being by far my favorite holiday, I told my wife that we should do a Hocus Pocus themed announcement.

Luckily, after a long pause of looking at me like I was an idiot, she was on board with this crazy idea. And therefore, I started creating concepts, ordering the costumes, creating the signs, fabricating a smoke displacement cover for inside the cauldron, scoping out locations, and coordinating 7 friends and family members into the idea.

After a month and a half of fabricating, planning and coordinating we pulled off my idea.

Baby Pierce coming March 2019!

I even got family and friends to help us with our little project. They most certainly enjoyed themselves getting lost in the roles

I liked it! Very cool! It would be fun if all major announcement around big holidays were themed. Except for death announcements - that would depend on the deceased.

Enola gay smoke bombs, they come in a lot of colors. Online paintball stores have them. Just be careful one exploded and caught on fire in our yard when we were doing the gender reveal. Luckily it was in the cauldron.
