WATCH: This Couple’s Pregnancy Announcement Is a Mini Wes Anderson Movie
Back in the day, pregnancy announcements did one of two things: pull on your heartstrings or make your teeth hurt because they were so sugary sweet. Couple Jacky Shu and Ben Snyder have officially joined the ranks of soon-to-be parents nailing the baby on board announcements with a more cinematic approach. They pulled from hipster-beloved filmmaker Wes Anderson’s iconic style (think bright pastel colors, quirk for quirk’s sake + an upbeat, slightly folksy soundtrack) to announce the impending arrival of their first baby.
