Finding out you’re pregnant is one of those moments you’ll remember forever, and sharing the news can feel just as special. If you’re looking for something a little more creative (but still simple and meaningful), here are some pregnancy announcement ideas we love.
1. A Personalized Swaddle or Blanket
A keepsake you’ll cherish long after the announcement. Using a personalized swaddle or blanket is a sweet way to share the news while creating something you’ll use again and again once baby arrives.
It works beautifully for:
-
Flat lay photos
-
Announcing to grandparents
-
Social media posts
-
Nursery keepsakes
The best part? It becomes part of baby’s story — not just the announcement.
2. Big Sibling or Pet Announcements
Let them help share the news. If this isn’t your first baby, involving siblings (or pets!) can make the moment even sweeter.
Ideas include:
-
A shirt that says “Big Brother” or “Big Sister”
-
A pet bandana with a subtle message
-
A candid photo rather than a posed one
These often turn into the photos families love the most.
3. Breaking News: Newspaper-Style Announcement
A fun twist on a classic announcement. Use an online newspaper-style template to create an old-time headline announcing your pregnancy. Include details like “Baby arriving [Month Year]” or “Our biggest headline yet.”
Style it with:
-
A flat lay on a neutral surface
-
Mom + dad holding the paper
-
A few candid shots flipping through pages
It’s playful, unique, and perfect for families who love a little humor mixed with sentiment.
4. Mom & Dad Apparel + Ultrasound Photo
A modern, subtle way to share the news. Style simple “Mom” and “Dad” apparel — like hats or cozy crewnecks — and pair them with an ultrasound photo for a clean, meaningful announcement.
-
Mom and dad wearing the apparel, holding the ultrasound together
-
A flat lay with the hats or crewnecks placed side by side, ultrasound centered
-
A casual lifestyle photo (walking, sitting on steps, coffee in hand) with the ultrasound peeking through
5. Onesie or Outfit + Letter Board
Simple, sweet, and always timeless. Pair a baby onesie or tiny outfit with a letter board to share the news. You can keep the message short and classic or add a fun line that fits your personality.
Some message ideas:
-
“Coming Soon”
-
“Arriving [Month Year]”
-
“Promoted to big sibling”
This option works beautifully for flat lays or cozy in-home photos — and it’s easy to recreate later as a keepsake
No matter how you announce, this moment is yours. It doesn’t have to be over-the-top, perfectly styled, or posted at all. What matters most is that it feels meaningful to you and your family. What's the most creative pregnancy announcement you have seen?
