Make Your Baby Announcement Unforgettable
A baby announcement is one of the most exciting posts you'll ever share on social media — and with a little creativity, it can be truly memorable. Whether you're announcing a pregnancy or sharing the news of your baby's arrival, here are our favorite ideas and tips for a social media announcement that will stop the scroll.
Pregnancy Announcement Ideas
1. The Nursery Reveal
Share a beautiful photo of the finished nursery — complete with your handmade crochet blanket draped over the crib and an artisan stuffed animal waiting in the corner. Caption it with something like: "Someone's room is ready — are we? 👶 [Due date]"
2. The Tiny Shoes Shot
A classic for a reason. Place a pair of tiny baby shoes next to your own shoes and let the image speak for itself. Add a handmade stuffed animal for extra charm.
3. The Book Announcement
Hold up a copy of a beloved children's book with a caption like: "We're adding a new reader to our family. 📚 [Due date]"
4. The Sibling Announcement
If you have older children, involve them in the announcement. Have them hold a sign, a pair of baby shoes, or a handmade stuffed animal that will belong to the new baby.

5. The First Photo
Simple and perfect. Share baby's first photo with their name, birth date, weight, and length. No props needed — just your beautiful new baby.
6. The Nursery Introduction
Photograph baby in the finished nursery — wrapped in their handmade crochet blanket, surrounded by the space you created for them. It's intimate, beautiful, and tells the whole story.
7. The Stuffed Animal Introduction
Photograph baby with their artisan stuffed animal companion — the one that will be in every photo for years to come. Caption it: "Meet [baby's name] and their new best friend."
Tips for a Great Baby Announcement Photo
- Use natural light – soft, natural light makes every photo more beautiful
- Keep it simple – the baby is the star; don't overcrowd the frame
- Include handmade elements – a crochet blanket or artisan toy adds warmth and texture
- Edit for warmth – a slightly warm, bright edit feels joyful and celebratory
- Write from the heart – the caption matters as much as the photo
When to Post Your Announcement
- Pregnancy announcement: Most parents wait until after the first trimester (12 weeks) when the risk of miscarriage drops significantly
- Birth announcement: Post when you're ready — there's no rush. Some parents share within hours; others wait days or weeks.
