Fall pregnancy announcement ideas
Carve the news into a pumpkin
If fall was a food, it would without a doubt be a pumpkin. So, why not use the beloved symbol of the season to your creative advantage and bring it into your pregnancy announcement? Whether you carve your due date like the photo above or simply write it with a marker, this option is an easy winner. Plus, you can snap a pic and share it on social media, then leave the pumpkin on your windowsill or porch for extra-cute home decor.
Use a pun-filled letterboard
When it comes to fall, there’s no shortage of puns: spice spice baby, your little pumpkin, falling in love, life is gourd — the list goes on. Adorn a letterboard or piece of construction paper with a fall pun and your pregnancy announcement news for ultimate adorableness. (Plus, it’s never too early to start those beloved mom or dad jokes.)
Add a pumpkin to your patch
Is anything cuter than tiny pumpkins? If it comes with a sonogram like this fall pregnancy announcement, the answer is yes! All you need to recreate this announcement are a few pumpkins and a paint pen. Add leaves and any other fall elements you want to share your exciting news.
Bring in the harvest
Simple and chic, this fall pregnancy announcement incorporates elements that can be found in your fridge and backyard or a nearby park. Prop up a sonogram photo or letterboard on top of a pile of leaves, and surround it with fall vegetables, fruits, pinecones or more leaves. Snap a pic, post it online and you’re all set.
Use an autumn-themed onesie
A baby onesie that also serves as the perfect pregnancy announcement? Yes, please. Getting a fall-themed onesie will not only get you excited for your baby's arrival, it also serves as an adorable centerpiece for a pregnancy announcement. You can share a photo of the onesie by itself, or surround it with other baby items and fall decor like tiny sneakers, leaves and pumpkins. Bonus: Your baby can wear the onesie all season long once she’s born.
Incorporate a letterboard
If you have a letterboard, chalkboard or whiteboard lying around the house, this simple yet fun pregnancy announcement is an easy way to share the news. Craft your message, add a due date, surround it with leaves and you’re all set.
Use fall-themed accessories
You don’t have to find a field brimming with fall foliage to make an autumn-themed pregnancy announcement if you don’t want to! Look around your home for any seasonal accessories or backdrops and let your creativity take the wheel. We love how this announcement uses Scrabble letters to (literally!) spell out the big news, all while complementing the neutral tones of the flowers, onesie, shoes and floor.
Bring in the whole family (and pumpkins!)
Expecting your second (or third, or fourth)? Bring the future big brother or sister in on the fun with this fall announcement using pumpkins and a marker. Pick up some pumpkins and write your birth year, your loved ones’ birth years and your baby-to-be’s birth year. Then, stand behind the gourds, set a self-timer on your phone’s camera and say "Cheese!"
Implement a minimalist fall aesthetic
This simple pregnancy announcement is a sleek way to incorporate a fall theme, perfect for minimalist mamas. Surround a sonogram photo with leaves, flowers, gourds or candles and snap a photo. If you want, you can put your sonogram in a neutral frame (like pictured above) and hang it in your baby’s nursery later.
Wear autumnal colors
Orange you glad you saw this fall pregnancy announcement idea? Embrace the traditional colors of the season by dressing up in autumnal hues like orange, yellow or brown to share the news. You can hold up a letterboard like the above photo, or simply cradle your baby bump to express your excitement.
Use a tiny pumpkin
Tell your loved ones you’re welcoming a little pumpkin soon with an actual little pumpkin. Carve a heart or circle into the side of a bigger pumpkin, empty out the seeds and insert a tiny pumpkin inside. Just like the photo above, you can bring the whole family in on the fun by adding additional pumpkins.
Let your fur babies in on the fun
It’s always a cute idea to include your pets in a pregnancy reveal, and the change of season only makes it more fun. Whether you bring your pups to a park filled with fall foliage or pose your cat next to a pumpkin in the living room, featuring pets in your pregnancy announcement adds an extra layer of adorable to your big reveal.
