21 Ideas to Announce Your Pregnancy on Valentine's Day

21 Ideas to Announce Your Pregnancy on Valentine's Day

Announcing a pregnancy is such a special moment and I had so much fun planning ours when we were pregnant with Emmie and Archie. I think the holidays can bring out the most creative and unique ways to announce you're pregnant and with Valentine's Day coming up, it's the perfect time to share the exciting news with your loved ones.

If you're looking for creative and adorable ways to announce your pregnancy on Valentine's Day, I'll pulled together some of my favorite announcements I've seen or would want to do (No, I'm not pregnant!). Whether you want to make a big reveal on social media, share the news with close friends and family, or even to your significant other, here are some fun, creative, and cute ideas to consider:

1. Letter Board Love: Use a letter board to spell out the big news. Write a cute message like "Our little valentine is on the way!" and snap a photo to share with your friends and family. I think this is a sweet and simple and so versatile for any holiday. I love this inspiration from Etsy using a digital template for Facebook and Instagram . Create your own or choose one that's premade!

2. Heart Balloon Announcement: Use a heart-shaped balloon and attach a note to it that says "Our family is growing by two feet!" Give the balloon to your partner or family members and watch their reaction as they read the news.

3. Ultrasound Picture Reveal: Take a photo of your ultrasound picture and add a caption like "Coming soon, our little Valentine!" Share the photo on social media or send it as a digital file to your loved ones.

4. Candy Hearts Countdown: Get a jar of conversation hearts and arrange them in a way that spells out your due date. Take a photo and share it with a caption like "Our sweetest Valentine is due on [due date]!"

5. Sweet Sibling Love: If you already have a little one, make them a part of your Valentine's Day pregnancy announcement. Dress them up in an adorable "Big Sister" or "Big Brother" shirt adorned with hearts and cupid arrows. Capture a sweet photo of them holding a sign that says "Love is multiplying... Baby [Last Name] arriving [Due Date]!" I absolutely love the one that Life as the Rices posted captured above! {image}

6. Sweet Treat Surprise: Another fun idea is the "Sweet Treat Surprise." Get a box of chocolates and remove some of the pieces. Replace them with a note that says "Sorry, some are missing. There are two of us with a sweet tooth!" When your loved one opens the box, they'll be in for a deliciously funny surprise. This idea was inspired by a version shared by Bright Color Mom for a spouse I thought was so fun.

7. Simple & Sweet: If you're looking for a more simple pregnancy announcement, consider taking a photo of your positive pregnancy test and sharing it with a caption like "Love is in the air, we're expecting!" This is a straightforward yet adorable way to share your exciting news.

8. Custom Valentine's Day Cards: Another cute idea is to use a Valentine's Day greeting card to announce your pregnancy. Find a card that says something like “Love is multiplying” or “A new addition is on the way” and send it to your family and close friends. This is a sweet and personal way to share your special news.

9. Love Letters: For those who want to keep their announcement more private, you can always send a love letter to your significant other with the news of your pregnancy. This is a romantic and intimate way to share the exciting news and create a special memory together.

10. Puppy love: Include your furry friend in your Valentine's Day pregnancy announcement for an extra dose of cuteness. Dress up your dog in a heart-patterned bandana or a Valentine's Day-themed outfit. Position them next to a pair of tiny baby shoes or a photo beside them. Have a photo shoot this adorable moment and share the photo with a caption like "Love is in the air, and so is a new addition to our pack! Baby [Last Name] coming soon!" Let your dog help spread the love and excitement of your pregnancy announcement to friends and family on Valentine's Day. 

11. custom balloons. Get a set of heart-shaped balloons in pink and blue (or any color you want!), and have them customized with phrases like "Love is in the air... And a baby on the way!" or "Our little Valentine is arriving soon!" Here is a great shop on Etsy where you can order custom heart shaped balloons.

12. Love Potion Announcement: Create a custom label for a bottle that says "Love Potion No. 9 Months" and fill it with pink or blue liquid is a unique way to annouce your pregnancy. Present it to your friends or family, explaining that you've brewed up something extra special this Valentine's Day. 

13. Heartbeat Keepsake: One unique idea is to record your baby's heartbeat during an ultrasound appointment and have it engraved onto a heart-shaped pendant or keychain. Give it to your family members as a heartfelt Valentine's Day gift, revealing the precious sound of your little one's heartbeat.

14. Design a movie poster featuring you and your partner as the stars, with a title like "The Greatest Love Story: Our Baby's Arrival." Share the poster with your friends and family, inviting them to join you for the premiere of your new family addition.

15. Love Lock Announcement: Get a heart-shaped lock and key, and engrave them with your names and the due date. Take a photo of the lock and key together, symbolizing the love that will forever bind your growing family.

16. Baby Onesie: Get a custom baby onesie and have it say "My Little Valentine" or "My Little Love" and take a photo of it with Valentines Day confetti, heart-shaped candies and balloons. Love this little one you can order on Etsy through MDLittlesCo here.

17. Love at First Sight: Create a photo collage of you and your partner holding hands, with an ultrasound picture placed in the middle. Add the caption "Our love story continues... Baby [Last Name] arriving [Due Date]!"

18. Valentine's Day Photo Booth: Set up a Valentine's Day-themed photo booth with props like heart-shaped glasses, cupid arrows, and a sign that says "Love is growing... Baby on the way!"

19. Love Story Timeline: Design a timeline of your love story, starting from when you first met and ending with a heart symbolizing the arrival of your little one. Share the timeline with your loved ones, highlighting the next chapter in your love story.

20. Valentine's Day Recipe: Give a box of Valentine's Day cookies to friends and family. Include the recipe, but with a twist. Include a recipe card, but include your secret ingredient: a little one on the way!

21. Bun in the Oven: You could always create the classic “Bun in the Oven” with a Hawaiian roll!

Remember, the most important thing is to announce your pregnancy in a way that feels authentic and true to your own style. These ideas are just a starting point to inspire your creativity and imagination or you can use them for yourself. Feel free to personalize and customize them to make them uniquely yours. Whether you choose to incorporate a baby onesie, a heartfelt letter, a sweet treat, or any other creative element, the goal is to share the exciting news on a holiday already filled with so much love. Happy Valentine's Day and congratulations on your newest addition!
