17 gorgeous ways to announce your pregnancy to the world

Breaking the news of a pregnancy is one that always causes a lot of excitement to future parents. Today, many different ways are used to announce pregnancy to the whole family and friends, from doing it in a tender and emotional way, to doing it in a fun way, using a sense of humor to make it even more exciting.

So if you are about to break the news but need a little inspiration not to share the typical ultrasound, we share 17 beautiful and fun ways to announce your pregnancy to the world.

The surprise

We start our list with one of the most beautiful ways to break the news of pregnancy: the moment when the future father is surprised to break the news.

Bun in the oven

A very curious and peculiar phrase that is used to indicate that someone is expecting a baby, that is to say that they have a “bun in the oven”.

Recipe for a baby

Similar to the previous idea, a tender way to announce that a baby is expected is by showing how it is done through a “recipe for a baby”, where the ingredients for its preparation are named.

A new player

If you are a fan of playing video games, a fun way to share the pregnancy news is to announce the upcoming arrival of a third player.

New travel companion

On the other hand, if what you like is to travel, you can spread the news by announcing that you will soon have a new companion for your next trips.

Like movie poster

A very original pregnancy announcement that we have seen more recently is taking a photograph of the parents as the protagonists of a new movie.

With the cravings

Similar to those that are in movie poster form, we have another very fun idea to announce that a baby is on the way: show the mother with the typical pregnancy cravings.

Showing belly

Also in a humorous way, we have the pregnancy announcements where not only the mother boasts a belly, but also the father and if there are older siblings, they do too.

With shoes

A classic that we love and it is always cute to see, is when they give the hint that a new member of the family will soon arrive by placing a pair of small shoes in the photo.

With things for the baby

Another way of spreading the news, alluding to the eventual arrival of your little one in the family, is to show yourself buying baby things or with other objects, such as toys.

With cookies

A very original (and delicious!) Way to announce pregnancy is by doing it with a very special recipe: cookies in the shape of objects alluding to the baby, such as clothes, calendars or toys.

With pets

If we have pets at home, we can make them part of the pregnancy announcement, thus giving it a cute and fun touch.

“Promotion” to older brother or sister

If it is our second baby, we can break the news in a way that includes our first child, mentioning that he will receive a promotion to be a big brother.

Eviction notice

The eviction notice is widely used by parents, so that when the baby is born, the oldest will be “evicted” from their crib. If it turns out that they are crying or looking surprised, give more truth to the news (although you should not let them feel bad just for taking the photo).

Counting with older siblings

If it is a third or fourth baby, a very nice and fun idea is to make a count including the older siblings, pointing to a number to come.

Someone is missing here …

Similar to the previous one, but more like a riddle, you can include the older siblings in the photograph and save the gap for the new member of the family.

Seasonal announcement

Finally, an idea that we have already shared previously: use the typical elements of the season to give the news of the pregnancy.
