2. The shopping trip announcement

Another cute pregnancy announcement idea to try is to do some shopping with your partner or whoever you want to break the exciting news to.

Simply take them to a mall or wherever you do your shopping, and as you are picking up items into your shopping basket, take a turn to the kiddies section and start putting things into your basket.

Another great pregnancy announcement idea is making a mommy and daddy t-shirt to break the news. You can create a t-shirt that says “Dad” on it, place it on the bed where your partner will definitely notice it and when they do, you can walk into the room or showcase your own shirt that says “Mom” on it.

Watching the few seconds until this news clicks on your partner's face is definitely worth it.

4. Get your pet involved

Do you have a cute dog or cat around the house? You can totally get them involved in your pregnancy announcement idea. You can create and place a cute sign on their neck that says something like “Mom's pregnant” or one with a picture of your ultrasound or baby shoes.

Your pet gets to walk into the room with this sign up to your partner, friends, or whoever you are sharing this good news with.

Another quite creative pregnancy announcement idea is the use of a coffee mug. You can simply get a mug that says “We're pregnant” underneath it and take a sip of whatever is inside in the presence of your partner and ensure they are watching.

Another idea is to write this around or inside the mug as long as you can get your partner to see it, you are all good.

7. Use a onesie

Onesies are also great for pregnancy announcements. No one will mistake the meaning and it is also a cute pregnancy announcement idea. Depending on who you want to share your pregnancy announcement with, you can write different texts on your onesie.

An example is “Soon-to-be grandparents” if you are announcing to your parents, “soon-to-be daddy”, “I can't wait to meet you daddy” or “Dad-to-be” if you are announcing to your partner.

You can package the onesie as a gift and send it to them. This pregnancy announcement idea can also work for social media pregnancy announcements as all you need to do is upload a picture of the onesie with the right words.

8. Get a cake
