Making major life announcements should have self-awareness attached for ANY gathering that is in honor of someone else.
I just had a birthday and was overjoyed when my best friend announced that she was pregnant, but it was just us and our husbands at dinner.
I was pissed when another friend used my bachelorette party to announce her pregnancy because she waited until we were all present at the bar and people were toasting me.
In general, don't step on brides; just don't. Leave bridal events about the bride.
