10 Ideas for a Valentine’s Day Baby Announcement

Love is in the air! There is no better time to announce your pregnancy than to tie it in with a holiday that represents all things “love”. Whether you’re letting your friends and family in on your little intimate secret or announcing your pregnancy to the world on social media, we’ve got you covered with some creative ways to let others know that you are expecting a little bundle of joy. Enjoy these ideas for your pregnancy announcement.

Pregnancy Announcement Ideas

You could use a letter board to write these quotes below – or – another creative idea would be to copy & paste in a word document using your favorite font.  Then using a picture frame with a glass cover, trace the letters with paint markers right on the glass. Use blank cardstock, black if you want the chalkboard look, or any color to go where a photo will go. Voilà! You have a professional looking DIY pregnancy announcement.

These ideas for a pregnancy announcement are sure to show the extra love you’ll be sharing in the months to come and we’ve got you covered on creativity.

1. “Love is in the air and we have big news to share. Baby (last name here) is Due in 2022.”
2. “Our Little Valentine is Coming Soon.” – Be sure to sprinkle some red hearts around.
3. “Roses are Red, Violets are blue, inside me beats two hearts for you.” – How cute would this be as a little card for the dad to be?!
4. “Be Mine!” – With a onesie and bow or baby shoes next to it.
5. “Cupid struck again, I’m being promoted to big brother/big sister” – So cute for siblings or pets to spill the beans.
6. “Roses are red, violets are blue, our family is growing by one heart and two feet.” – Next to a bouquet of roses.
7. Red valentine days heart balloons with “oh baby” displayed on one of the balloons.
8. “Adding one more love to the family!” – Adorable for a large family.
9. “Not all valentines arrive on the 14th. Adding one more love, August 2022.”
10. “Special delivery from cupid”

And two more bonus ideas because they are just too cute not to share!

1. “Valentine’s chocolate for two”  – with mom’s cute belly and probably some valentine chocolate involved.
2. “This year our valentine’s is extra sweet because we are growing by one more heartbeat!” – Be sure to sprinkle something sweet like candy hearts around.

Surprise Dad

Here is a lovely idea for how to let the dad to be know:

To my daddy,

I know I’m just a little bump that is yet to grow

But I want you to know that I already love you so.

Are you ready for our adventure to start? 

Mommy said you’re amazing and will love me with all your heart!

Happy Valentine’s day!

Celebrate When It Is Right For You

Now that you have these cute and exciting ideas on spreading the word, you may be asking when is the best time to announce your pregnancy. Like we do with everything these days, if you take to Google and do a quick search most of the information you will come across recommends you to wait at least until you are past the 12 week mark. Of course, you may feel comfortable announcing it to close friends and family at any stage and go ahead and do so. But I say, why not celebrate those two pink lines at any time YOU feel that is right. If celebrating this milestone as soon as you find out and shouting it on social media feels right then that’s what you should do. If you feel like keeping your secret intimate a little longer, there are plenty more Pinterest-worthy ideas for you to make an announcement later in spring.

You deserve to celebrate this milestone whenever you want to. There is no right or wrong. Enjoy! And HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to you and your bundle of joy!
