💕 Creative & Fun Ways to Announce Your Pregnancy to Family
Finding out you’re expecting is a life-changing moment, and sharing the news with your family makes it even more special. Whether you’re looking for a tear-jerking reveal, a fun surprise, or a low-key announcement, we’ve gathered the best ways to tell your loved ones that a little one is on the way! 🍼✨
Sweet & Sentimental Pregnancy Announcements
If you want to tug at heartstrings, these ideas will have your family reaching for the tissues:
- A “Soon-to-Be” Gift – Wrap up a tiny onesie, baby shoes, or a framed ultrasound photo and let them unwrap the surprise.
- Personalized Storybook – Create a short book that tells a “Once upon a time” story leading up to your happily ever after—a new baby!
- Memory Lane Announcement – Share baby photos of you and your partner with a note saying, “We’re adding a new chapter to the family album!”
- Fortune Cookie Reveal – Order custom fortune cookies with messages like “Your lucky numbers: [Due Date]” or “A new grandbaby is on the way!”
- Handwritten Letter or Card – A heartfelt letter expressing your excitement for them to become grandparents, aunts, or uncles makes for a cherished keepsake. 💌
Fun & Playful Ways to Share the News
Looking for an announcement that’s full of personality? These playful ideas will make your reveal unforgettable:
- Game Night Surprise – Spell out "We're Pregnant!" in Scrabble or slip a custom card into a family card game.
- Custom T-Shirts – Have everyone wear shirts that say Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle and see who notices first!
- Fake Family Photo – Set up a group photo and instead of saying “Cheese!” have the photographer say, “We’re having a baby!”—and capture their reactions! 📸
- Bun in the Oven – Invite family over and casually ask them to check what’s in the oven—inside, they’ll find a tiny bun or a note that says, “Guess what?”
- Dinner Plate Surprise – Serve dinner on custom plates that say “Baby [Last Name] Coming Soon!”—watch their reaction when they clear their plates! 🍽️

If your loved ones are far away, you can still make your pregnancy reveal just as special:
- Surprise Video Call – Wear a “Baby on Board” shirt or hold up an ultrasound photo when you hop on a call.
- Digital Puzzle Announcement – Send family a custom online puzzle that, when completed, reveals the words “We’re having a baby!”
- Custom E-Card or Video Message – Record a heartfelt video or create a fun animation revealing the big news.
