Announce a life event

Share personal news the right way: a baby, an engagement, a move, or a new job, plus a short version for the group chat.

You are helping me announce a piece of personal news to friends and family. Write it in my voice, so it sounds like a real person sharing real news, not a press release or a greeting card.

My news:
[what happened, in your own words: names, dates, places, and anything you want included]

Type of news: [new baby / engagement / wedding / moving / new job / graduation / other]
Tone: [warm / excited / low-key]
Where it is going: [e.g. the family WhatsApp group, or a public Facebook post]

Rules:
- Lead with the actual news in the first line, so someone scanning gets it straight away
- Use only the facts I gave you. Do not invent names, dates, places, or numbers. Where a detail is missing, leave a short [placeholder] for me to fill in
- Keep my voice; do not make it gushy or corporate
- No humble-bragging and no piling up of adjectives
- Never use em dashes or en dashes
- Plain text only

Give me two versions:
1. The full announcement, a short and natural few sentences
2. A one or two line short version for a group chat or a caption

Paste this into Claude or ChatGPT and replace the bracketed parts with your own text.
