Christmas is such a special time of year, and now you get to announce you are expecting! Such a great ‘gift’ to your friends and family! Now how are you going to do it? There are so many fun ways to say ‘Surprise!’ but you want to be original, and true to your personalities. I took the liberty of gathering a few ways you can announce your pregnant at Christmas!

5 Fun Christmas pregnancy announcement Ideas
We’ve been Naughty: Are you on the naughty list? It’s a simple but super cute pic! Just the 2 of you and a chalk board or a white board saying ‘Were on the naughty list!’ and an arrow pointed to your belly! This will definitely get your message across.
Tree Trimming Party: Invite your friends and family over for some Christmas goodies and eggnog (although you won’t be having any!). They think they are coming over to help decorate your tree, but really you are going to be announcing you’re pregnant. Before the party, go to the dollar store and get a bunch of those glass ornaments. With a sharpie, (I would pick green or red or gold, keep it festive!) write things like ‘We’re pregnant!’ and ‘We are due to (date)’. When you place the ornaments out for everyone to start decorating, sit back and see who picks up the first message!
‘Ho Ho OH!’: This is super cute, and isn’t quite as ‘in your face’ as some others (which is why I like it so much). You can make the signs out of cardboard. If you have kids already, have them hold the Ho Ho signs and of course, you will be holding the OH sign

A Child’s Wish: When you were a kid, did you ever ask Santa for ‘a real baby’? I know I did (and my daughter did!) When you are creating your holiday cards, why not make it a folded photo card? The real message will be on the inside. On the front, take a pic of your daughter (or son) holding a sign that reads ‘I asked Santa for a real baby’ (or you can add the text to the front). Then, the inside reads ‘My gift will be delivered (due date)’.
T-shirt Message: If you are going to a family gathering that isn’t so formal, this is perfect! You can make it yourself which is even more fun. Get some iron-on letters and a green, red or white shirt. Your message can read ‘Mom-to-be’ or ‘Baby on Board’. When you remove your coat, don’t make a big scene, just see who notices first!

I think my favorite idea is the “I asked Santa” announcement. I also like the pin you shared with the “do not open” sign. I’ll have to keep a few of these in mind for when we start trying to get pregnant.
What a thrill! These are absolutely fun ideas, I can imagine the excitement and joy of having a baby! I love idea number 2.
Such a cute idea, I love the tree trimming idea. I’m done making babies but I will tell others, these are such cute ideas. I wish we had given the news in a fun way.
Making your own t-shirt would be fun. Our get together are informal so this would be perfect.
Cute. I wish these were trendy more than 4 years. I didnt even think of doing anything like this.
These are such awesome ideas! Wished I would have used some of these back when I was pregnant.
Those are fun Christmas pregnancy announcements indeed. My friend did the last one although it wasn’t Christmas when they did the announcement. 🙂
These are cute ideas. I never found out that I was expecting near Christmas. I did have a sonogram a few days after Christmas with my youngest and posted a photo the babys outline without posting the gender. We had fun with it for about an hour before we announced it was a “boy”.
Aww, these are all such great and cute ideas! I will pass this on to my pregnant friends!
What cute ideas! We never did pregnancy announcements but I think it’s a great idea and these would be fun to do.
Thanks for this post, it reminds me to start planning for the photo card we will send this year. I love the t-shirt idea!
How absolutely adorable are these ideas! I wish these were available the last time I was pregnant. I am thrilled to share these with a few pregnant ladies that I know personally!
What fun ideas! I know my kids would love announcing a new sibling these ways! And what a great way to make sure everyone hears about the new arrival at the same time 🙂
very cute ideas. we’ve been on the naughty list is too funny. I dont think I’ll be needing any of these anytime soon but some friends of mine definitely will!
Those are all so cute! I love the “Do not open” announcement. That’s the best!
These are all very cute ideas! I like the one that says ” you present is on back order”. That is totally they way to go with this. How fun!
Those are fun ideas. We made both announcements at Christmas and it always makes for a fun surprise.
The We’ve Been Naughty and Do Not Open Until are my favorites! This is so cute!
