One of our all time favorite baby announcements is a photo of the new mom and dad with text superimposed on the photo: “Photo Paper: $5, Postage: $0.41, Envelope: $0.05, The look on your face when you realize there are three of us in this photo: PRICELESS!”

There are plenty of cute or silly Mommy + Daddy Announcements which are sure to get a chuckle or two along with an outpouring of well wishes.

These Pregnancy Announcements Have Gone to the Dogs!

When your four-legged friend is an integral part of your family, it only makes sense to enlist their help for the addition of a new family member!



 

Pregnancy Announcement Ideas: The Whole Family

These announcements are great for the family that already has at least one child. Sending out a photo of your first child wearing a shirt stating that they are the big sister/brother, or one explaining that your gang of “super heroes” will be gaining a new “sidekick” very soon is a great way to spread the excitement.

Pregnancy Announcements: A Baby Changes Everything

Life changes drastically when you become pregnant. Many couples choose to make their birth announcements by sending out photos of the different changes they’ve made.



Examples include a photo of dad drinking as mom remains sober, or a photo of you surrounded by pregnancy craving foods such as ice cream and pickles.

Hinting at the changes you’re making as a family in order to welcome your new addition is a fun way to break the news.

  1. My husband has three kids from a previous marriage, this is my first. His youngest has been very excited to have a little sibling since we told them we did want to add more kids of our own to the family. The kids already know, so to tell everyone else, we lined up the kids and we each held signs and snapped a photo to send out. The oldest held “Been there” the second “done that” the youngest “now its my turn to be a big sister” then we held “baby Q coming Nov. 22”

  2. My favorite “announcement” was telling my husband we were expecting again after a miscarriage. It was a gloomy rainy day, and he was running into the grocery store with a list in hand while I waited in the car with our 2 Littles. His list:
    Milk
    Eggs
    7-up
    Saltines
    Pickles
    Ice cream.

    XXXOOO

    He returned to the car with the requested items, plus roses ❤️

    • Oh that is soo sweet! Made me teary eyed. Congratulations and I wish you the best with your pregnancy!

  3. We announced it by calling family and inviting them to a birthday party…on the due date.
    It took them a minute.
    “For who? …wait… YOU’RE KIDDING!!!”
    For the rest of the world we posted a photo of the kids sitting with their October pumpkins with an extra one beside (and one kid holding the ultrasound photo above it!)
    Considering my next one is due the same time next year as my previous, we are probably going to do the pumpkins again. This time I got a photo of a family of pumpkins-and TWO small pumpkins 😉 (one for my 2 year old, one for the new one.) I wonder who will notice first!

  4. These are all soooo cute! We waited to make the announcement until I was past the first trimester and by that time I felt so terrible I didn’t have the energy or even care to do anything cute. Ah well!
