40+ Funny Pregnancy Announcement Ideas That Are Creative

Share the big reveal with one of these funny pregnancy announcements. Beyond Congratulations, you’ll love the reactions you’ll get and will cherish them forever! 

Every year the baby announcements get more creative, clever, and so funny! I love watching them and am impressed with the creativity. We had three pregnancy announcements, with the last being twins, and I wish I could go back and recreate some of these announcements for myself. 

So if you are looking for the perfect way to make your family members and friends giggle when sharing the big news, these are some hilarious baby announcements ideas from other expecting parents for you. 

Creative Pregnancy Announcement Ideas That Are Sure To Get Some Laughs

If you and your partner love to laugh and want a unique way to announce the big news, then you’re in the right place. 

The best way to make it unique & funny, is to highlight your family’s personality in an hilarious way. Some of these humorous pregnancy announcement ideas may be just what you are looking for. 

1. Eviction Notice, BAM!

Does your toddler consider the crib their throne? It’s time you break the news to them in style. Make a sign that reads, “Eviction Notice: Baby coming soon! Visitors welcome 24/7.” You can also add your due date as the eviction date.

Get your little one dressed up in their cutest outfit with a funny expression on their face. You can add props like a toy hammer or a crown to make it more amusing.

Whether this is your first pregnancy, second or more, we all know being a mom is a lot of work and can feel very stressful.

Which is why moms are always so thankful after they snag my Genius Mom Hacks Workbook!

This workbook gives you all of the tools, tips, hacks and proven strategies to help overwhelmed and stressed moms eliminate the mom stress so you can enjoy motherhood!

I always tell moms the perfect time to start this workbook is when you are pregnant, so you can be as ready as possible for when your little one comes.

2. Every Superhero Needs a Sidekick

Can you picture your adorable eldest child dressed as a superhero, posing with an ultrasound picture? We can! Caption it, “Every superhero needs a sidekick. Ours is arriving soon!”

Add a “super” element to your pregnancy announcement with a comic strip theme, or replace your baby’s face with superhero costumes on posters.

3. It’s Officially Time to Panic

First-time parents? Cute! You’ll soon have a poop machine and milkaholic taking over the house. What’s your game plan?

Panick, panick some more, practice on the Fido? Share it with the world.

Create a scene in your living room with your partner and four-legged friend, and take pictures. Spread a diaper changing mat, grab some wipes, and pretend to change your pet’s diaper while you look at each other with panic-stricken faces.

4. Netflix and Chill Went Too Far…

Create your own movie poster to announce the big news to the world. You can imitate your favorite movie or come up with a funny pun.

For instance, “Coming Soon: The Toddler Chronicles” or “The Baby Bump Strikes Back”. Add in some cute baby-themed props like onesies, baby shoes, diapers, feeders, rattles, and pose!

It’s your expression that’ll crack everybody up. So, put on your silliest grin, mess up your hair, maybe even stick a pacifier in your mouth, and click.

Many options available on Etsy here.

5. Boob Update Coming Soon

Looking for a creative way to break the news to your partner? Grab a greeting card with a quirky note and watch their eyes light up with excitement.

Hint: Men love the perks that come with pregnancy. Big boobs and high libido! winks

If you want to make it funnier, design a card that says, “Your pull-out game is weak.”

Available on Etsy.

6. Surprise, Surprise

Ready to surprise Daddy with the news? Grab an empty bottle of nuts, fill in plastic babies, and attach a spring. Sneak it into the pantry and watch him freak out. Because, dad-to-be, this is how life’s going to be! 

7. Let’s Play Hangman

This one is great for your BFFs or Partner!

Give them a hint by playing hangman. But instead of generic words, use pregnancy-related keywords like cravings, nausea, bloating, and heartburn and let them figure it out. Or better yet, have them guess the due date.

Use this idea and create a whole book of clues. Inspired by Bee-ing Mommy here.

8. Oops, Here We Go Again

Remember when you said, “Two kids are more than enough”? Well, life had other plans for you. Announce your third (or fourth or fifth) pregnancy with a funny note that says, “Oops, here we go again.” Add your due date and any extra details to the picture.

You can use a chalkboard, placard, or letter board for it.

9. We’re Officially Minors in the House Now

Expecting baby #3? Now, that’s a whole different ballgame. You’re seriously outnumbered!

Dress up as lawyers or judges, take goofy photos while giving each other side-eyes, put on wigs, or carry toy gavels. Attach a note to the photo saying, “We’ve lost control. Help us!”

10. We Have a Winner (Sperm)

This one’s a fun way of announcing your good news, and it’s so easy to customize, too. Get funny T-shirts for you and your partner.

Here are some hilarious punchlines you can add to a custom-made t-shirt:

• We have a winner – Print a sperm with the text.

• Bump’s First Public Appearance – It’s Showtime!

• We’re Cooking Something Special… And It’s Not Just Dinner!

• I’m Pregnant; He Did It

11. It’s Brewing, Guys!

Coffee mugs are excellent for gifting – especially funny ones. Get one for yourself that has the punchline, “I’m brewing up something special.”

As soon as your buddies see you sipping from it, they’ll give you the looks. Confirm with a smirk! It might take some time for them to notice, so be patient.

If you’re announcing the baby’s arrival toward the end of the second trimester, you probably already know the gender. So, how about adding pink or blue confetti in the mug to throw in some extra hints?

12. Sports Fans?

Attend a sporting event with your close family, and try to get your baby’s news on the stadium’s scoreboard or jumbotron with a message like, “Baby [Last Name] – Coming [Due Date].”

Also, dress up your little one in a jersey of your favorite team with the words “Big Brother/Sister” on the back. Wait till your family finally gets it.

Other funny sports sayings “Dad slipped one past the defense.”

Available on Etsy.

13. I’ll Always Be Their First

Take a photo of your first child sitting next to their mommy’s bump with a grumpy face. Caption it, “I was the only best thing that ever happened to Mom and Dad until this one decided to come.”

Oh, and prepare for sibling rivalry! You’ll have a ton to deal with when your second child arrives.

14. Jedi Vs. Sith

Star Wars fan? Take a photo with your partner dressed as Jedi knights with lightsabers in hand. Stand in front of the Death Star (you can DIY it with a black balloon and chart paper!) and caption it, “Our family is growing like the Force!”

If you know the baby’s gender, have a “Jedi vs. Sith” gender reveal party with blue and red lightsabers, with the color of the revealed lightsaber indicating the gender.

15. Someone Got Late!

Announcing your happy news around the holidays? Involve Santa in your announcement!

Dress your partner or eldest child as Santa and give them a sign that reads, “I’m not the only one late!” Include your positive pregnancy test in the picture to throw in a hint!

16. Nope, Not a Hangover!

Use the brutal morning sickness to your benefit. Take a picture of your partner (or you) vomiting in the toilet while holding a sign that reads, “That’s not wine, just a bad stock of protection,” or “Hugging the toilet so much, it thinks it’s the dad.”

17. Baby Food Tasting Competition

How about hosting a baby food-tasting competition? Invite your family over, gift them blindfolds, and ask them to guess the flavor of baby food.

Have a funny trophy (like a sippy cup) ready for the winner, and let your guests enjoy some silly moments with you. When they least expect it, reveal that it’s not just a game – there’s exciting news coming their way!

19. Finally, a Real Reason for Mom to Cry

No one cries like expecting mothers do. Pregnancy is a rollercoaster of emotions! Use this as an opportunity to make your pregnancy announcement funny. Take a photo with your partner where you’re both fake-crying while holding a positive pregnancy test. The caption? “Finally, a real reason for mom to cry.”

20. I tested positive…

Wear a shirt (available on Etsy) that says “I tested positive… but not for Covid”

21. Do You Want Some Pregatini?

Here’s a funny way to announce the news! Invite your friends for drinks and hand them a menu with pregnancy-themed drinks. Some cool ideas could be:

• Pregatini: A martini glass filled with sparkling water garnished with a pacifier.
• Mommy Mocktail: A mix of fruit juices served in a baby bottle.
• Fetal Fizz: A fizzy drink with a tiny umbilical cord straw. You get the idea!

When your friends compliment your unique menu, give them the looks and say, “Oh! Didn’t we mention it? We’re having a baby!” Cue the cheers and hugs.

22. Baby Shark Due Due Due Due Due (Perfect for TWINS!)

Welcoming your third? Or maybe multiples? Aww! Dress the older siblings as sharks with a sign that reads, “Baby shark due in nine.” Add your due date below.

You can hold the baby’s first ultrasound photo and keep it in front of you to complete the puzzle. Have a family photo shoot and upload it on your social media.

23. Target Hit!

Shopaholic parents, this one’s for you. Plan a shopping day out at Target with your partner and load your shopping cart with all things baby. Take a photo near the cart where you’re holding a sign that reads, “Target hit! Baby arriving on (due date)!”

28. Lifestyle Change Incoming

Make a hilarious message board that says, “We were tired of sleeping peacefully (and on time) and doing whatever we wanted to do, whenever we wanted. We’re welcoming a tiny dictator to change our lifestyle forever. Coming (Due Date)!”

29. Read the Fine Print

You know what they say: the devil is in the details! In this case, it’s in the fine print. Take a photo wearing a customized t-shirt with a bold print that reads, “Are you looking at the right message?” Add a tiny “I’m pregnant” at the bottom in fine print. It’ll be so much fun watching your friends and family squint their eyes to read it!

30. Where Are My Toes??

Pregnancy can make touching your toes a distant dream. Use it as a funny pregnancy announcement! Take a family photo with your partner and older kids bending down to touch their toes while you (very obviously pregnant) struggle in the background. Add text like, “We’re expecting one more addition to our family, but for now, Mom can’t even see her toes!”
