4 Awesome, Creative Pregnancy Announcement Ideas For Social Media

If there is one thing I learned about creative pregnancy announcement ideas it is some couples don’t announce their pregnancies at all on social media – for reasons of privacy or just not being active on social media at all. For me, a lot of my family live in a different province in Canada so finding an email list or text message list of all their numbers takes longer than snapping some photos and sharing it on Facebook.

I was so tired from having my eldest daughter in her first year of kindergarten and from having intense morning sickness in the first trimester that I didn’t have the energy or inspiration to coordinate a cute pregnancy announcement photoshoot like I did with Adeline.

But that didn’t stop me from taking some beautiful photos for us to share the due date of our 4th baby on social media!

That’s right, you read it correctly, I take all if not majority of the photos on my blog and social media! With a little help from my Canon camera, tripod and phone it was possible.

A few of my favourite pregnancy announcement ideas are:

  • Use a letterboard | Most people are mindlessly scrolling through their social media feeds, but when you are able to include words in your pregnancy announcement sharing a cute pregnancy announcement rhyme or your due date it will capture your friends and family’s attention much faster! Check out the modern letterboard we are using in our photos, here.
  • Utilize your ultrasound photo | I always cherish the ultrasound photos I get from each baby, it’s that moment of relief that there is a heartbeat (I’ve had 4 low risk pregnancies and I still get teary eyed at the first ultrasound when they are able to confirm the baby is growing). Celebrate the first photo you have of your baby and use it as a prop in your photos to share with others!
  • Include siblings in the pregnancy announcement, if this is not your first baby | As a lifestyle and mom blogger, I don’t force my kids to pose and smile for photos. If you’re able to give up some control and capture the real life moments of telling your kids the exciting news or letting them pose with whatever emotions they feel about the news of their new sibling – you’ll be able to laugh over those memories in the future!
  • Find unique pregnancy announcement photo props | You can easily find these on Amazon or Etsy, depending on what your style is! I personally love the pregnancy announcement banners, or the funny t-shirts, or modern pregnancy announcement onesies! Even finding a cute, tiny pair of baby shoes (they could be little replicas of your favourite pair) will centre your photos around your baby!

If you don’t have a camera, iPhones these days are just as good in portrait mode! A lot of bloggers are turning over to it – and if your phone has the portrait mode you can easily capture some gorgeous pregnancy announcement photos on your own.

Tell me, what are your favourite creative pregnancy announcement ideas? Are you going for the sentimental style or humourous side?

    Love these ideas! We made a Coming Soon movie poster for our pregnancy announcements – but I love the better use of photography and letter boards with these ideas you shared!
