8 Adorable Ways to Announce Your Pregnancy to Your Partner
Congratulations! You just found out you’re pregnant! Now that you’ve seen the plus sign on the pregnancy test that you’ve been anxiously waiting for, you’re probably trying to figure out how you should announce your pregnancy to your partner. Telling your partner that there’s a little one on the way is such a precious moment.
If you like to get creative, surprising your partner with the good news may be right up your alley. There are so many adorable and endearing ways that you can announce your pregnancy.
Looking for some inspiration? Here are some simple yet memorable and stress free ideas on how you can tell your partner you’re pregnant.
Make a Baby Gift Box
Put together a gift box of baby items which can include things like the pregnancy test, a onesie and some baby shoes. Gift boxes are an exciting way to surprise your partner with your pregnancy announcement and it also makes great memorabilia. If you don’t want to make the gift box yourself, Etsy has very cute gift box announcements which can save you some time.
Wear a Pregnancy Announcement Shirt
A simple yet cute idea is to wear a shirt that says you’re pregnant. There are so many shirts with pregnant sayings like “preggers“, “mama in the making“, or “soon to be mama“. You can wear the shirt early on a weekend morning so your partner will find out first thing in the morning.
Bake (or buy) A Cake
Does your partner love sweets? Hone in on your baking skills and bake a cake that says “I’m pregnant” (or buy the cake from the store of course). Make a nice dinner and bring out the cake for dessert. It’ll surely be a great surprise.
Buy a Baby Onesie
If you don’t want to make an entire gift box, you can just get a onesie to surprise your partner. A saying like “I love daddy” on the onesie is a nice added touch.
Include the Siblings
If you already have kids, you can have your kiddos wear a sibling shirt that says “big sister” or “big brother” and let them tell your partner the big news. Including your other children in the surprise brings fun for the entire family.
Don’t Forget About the Fur Babies
Do you have a fur baby? Dress your pet up with either a board with the announcement or a bandanna. When your dog runs to the door to welcome your partner the first thing they will see is the pregnancy announcement.
Make (or buy) A Card
You can either create a homemade card or purchase one to announce your pregnancy to your partner. Writing a heartfelt message telling your partner how happy and excited you are to start or add to your family is a sweet added touch.
Buy a Baby Book
Surprise your partner with a baby book. You can go with one of the classic pregnancy books like the What to Expect book or a story book to read to a baby. Lay the book on top of your partner’s normal reading materials or laptop that way they can find it easily.
