Safety Pin Announcement

One of my very good friends used this adorable safety pin style announcement and it was such a hit. She loves crafty things, but with a toddler already at home and a full-time job teaching, an adorable but simple announcement was the ticket. This was a super cute announcement I will always remember!
Baby Loading

If you prefer a higher tech announcement, you should try this cute loading bar announcement. This is a super easy one, all you have to do is write on your belly and take a picture. If you don’t have face paint handy, an eyeliner pencil could easily and safely help you recreate this announcement.

Do you have your pregnancy test in hand? Recreate this adorable pregnancy announcement of full shock! What a cute way to share your news! I think this one would also be equally darling to announce an adoption.

Use simple math to let everyone know your family is growing! Grab a piece of chalk and you are on your way to the perfect announcement! Having twins? You may want to adjust your numbers! This is also a great announcement to include the older siblings or even your dog!
Have A Furry Friend Lend A Paw

If you have a pet that you want to include in your announcement, this idea is adorable. Create a quick sign for the background, and then diaper your dog, cat or other pet. I can just see my own cat scowling at the camera while wearing a baby diaper. If you are a pet family, this is an epic idea.
Something Is Brewing

If you are a coffee fanatic, then this adorable Starbucks announcement is the perfect quick announcement! Of course, you could use any coffee chain or even coffee mugs from your home without dropping the cash for a cuppa, though the caffeine free drinks at Starbucks are equally delish!
Say It With A Book

I have a total soft spot for Dr. Seuss, and this announcement is such a sweet moment with the new parents reading classic Seuss books. If you don’t have these classic Dr. Seuss books yet, hit up your local library. You can even take the picture in the library! Then add these books to your collection, because you are going to want them for your baby. Super cute!
Which is your favorite DIY pregnancy announcement? Did you have a super cute announcement that only took you minutes to make? Share your ideas and comments with me!
These are too cute. I’ve never seen the safety pin one so that would probably be my favorite. My friends did one using Starbucks cups but used an espresso cup as the baby since it’s super tiny (instead of the bottle).
Oh that’s great! I love the safety pin one! That is really original and cute! They all are but that’s the best
bahaha the loading sign on the belly cracks me up. :) These are cute ideas.
I love the Dad in shock one. These are all cute announcement ideas. I will have to share this with my friend who just found out she is expecting.
These are all so cute. I never did anything fun, so I hope I get to again someday soon!
Those are such fun and cute ideas! I wish I would have been creative with my pregnancy announcements!

These are all cute ideas. I did it the old fashion way. I called and told everyone.
These are really cute ideas. It’s so cute when a couple comes up with clever ways to announce the pregnancy to the family.
The one with the dog is my favorite. I love creative pregnancy announcements, my daughter surprised us with a pacifier and said we’d be needing it soon.
These are so cute. Back in my days when I was pregnant, we didn’t have Pinterest. It would have been fun to do something like this.
These are some really cute ways to announce a pregnancy. Some are really funny too.
Some of those are so cute. I wish I had done something like this back in the day!
These are really cool! Like others, the safety pin one resonates. It’s cute!
The one with the dog is hilarious. I also really like the safety pin one. These are all so cute, though.
The “We’re spilling the beans” one made me laugh. I like the play on words.

I really like the safety pin one. I’ve never seen that one used before so it’s really fun! All of these are cute ideas though. The passed out Dad one is pretty funny too! Some friends did a similar one and it was a hit. :)
My Brother and SIL did the bottle announcement! It was a fun creative way to do it. I LOVE the one where the hubby is fainted on the floor.
These are some really cute ideas–we never did anything creative.
