💕 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! 🍽️
