In honor of the baby reveal craze, we decided to create a video (Lindsey, my wife, performed the magic behind the lens) and pair it with some sweet music courtesy of Fruer's "Doot Doot". We aren't necessarily cutting a cake or popping a balloon for the surprise, but we like to think a non obligatory calligraphy recording can make just as big of a splash.

You can also check out a lower resolution GIF over on in a brush.
I realize this is old news for most family and friends, but my Mom has persistently requested an easier way for her to reference "the reveal" to all of her friends rather than having to search Facebook or Instagram.
