Both! It’s for anyone celebrating the start of their journey into parenthood. If you’re counting down to your due date, it’s a lovely chance to slow down and celebrate before your little one arrives.

This was such a fun bonding activity for us as first-time expecting parents, and we really valued taking the time to pause and connect before baby arrives. The variety of activities kept everything engaging, and each one naturally spark conversations and meaningful reflection about our relationship and future. We loved every bit of it and can’t wait to buy copies for all our expecting friends!
What a lovely photo and note. I'm glad you enjoyed it and can't wait to help share it with all your expecting friends!

We had such a blast! We loved incorporating all the people who make up our village into the date night. It felt so special to do together while our daughter was napping. At the end, we recorded our toast so that one day, when she’s older, we can play it for her and give her the letter we wrote. We loved it!
How sweet! Hope you have another beautiful memory, however many years from now, when you share the note with your daughter!

We really enjoyed this one! Pregnancy felt like a blur with a constant stream of planning, shopping, and medical appointments. This date night was exactly what we needed to slow down and appreciate this pivotal point in our lives. The activities were a lot of fun and got us talking about our childhoods and the characters and experiences that shaped us and what that might look like for our baby. Highly recommend for any expecting couple!
So glad this gave you a chance to slow down together. Wishing you many happy memories as you start this next chapter!

We had our first child a few months ago, and it's so easy to become disconnected from each other. We played this at exactly the right time. It was a series of games and prompts that injected an hour of whimsy into our day and helped us feel more connected. The perfect activity for two tired parents.
So happy for your growing family and so glad you enjoyed!
