Make your announcement loud and proud with this caption. You could add to it: "Life will never be the same for (parents' names) again...and we couldn't be happier." Or: "Here to make the world a cuter and happier place."

Introduce the newcomer with another simple statement. Use it against a backdrop of clouds or rainbows for added impact. Again, you can expand on it with the vital stats and a quick status report: "Mom and baby are doing great!"

A spot-on saying to go along with a picture of those impossibly tiny newborn toes. For contrast, you could pair it with a pic of Mom and Dad's feet, or those of any older siblings.

A funny and very apt caption for second-time parents. Naturally, this would accompany a shot of the big brother or sister holding their new sibling. (Or giving the baby the side-eye. Either way, it works.)

If you're a family of faith (or if you have a lot of followers who are), then this wonderful passage would make a lovely caption to accompany the first photos. Another popular biblical quote comes from the book of James: "Every good and perfect gift is from above."

Yet another biblical gem that shows the world how thankful you are for the new blessing in your life. You could tack on an additional sentiment like: "Meet our new arrival, (name). We are blessed indeed!"

This heartwarming classic by Stevie Wonder makes a splendid baby announcement as well. You can easily adapt it for a new son or any child (Wonder surely wouldn't object) by changing the gendered pronouns. Or keep on going and use the second verse, too: "Isn't she lovely / Truly the angels' best / Boy, I'm so happy / We have been heaven-blessed / I can't believe what God has done / Through us he's given life to one / But isn't she lovely, made from love."

What a great caption to post along with a pic of your newborn looking puzzled at the world they just entered! Plus, it comes from Eleanor Roosevelt, one of the most awesome First Ladies of all time (FLOAT?), so there's that.

True, new parenthood isn't the easiest job in the world. There's a lot of mess, stress, and under-eye circles involved. But the rewards far outweigh the sleeplessness and ripe odors, and this caption sums that up neatly.

The American author and poet penned this beautifully optimistic opinion about the promise of new life. In these uncertain days, it's a good reminder for all of us that the new generation may well be the hope for humanity and the planet we inhabit.

This slightly altered take on Elton John's "Your Song" reflects the amazing impact your new baby will have on your family's life. It's a little bit funny that the famous tune was written as a love song, but what purer love is there than that of parents for their newborn?

This will appeal to pun-loving parents. If humor is your thing, you could also come up with variations on "Here's the straight poop," "Three's company," "Sh*t just got real," "Kidding around," or "Baby, baby, baby, oh!"

The opening line from the original Peter Pan book also makes a delightful opening line to your baby's social media life.

This beloved lullaby from Dumbo has been covered by artists ranging from Bette Midler to Nick Lachey, Brian Wilson, Arcade Fire, Alison Krauss, and Celtic Woman. It also happens to make a sweet Instagram baby announcement caption. That is, if you can type it without turning into a puddle of tears (which is more than I can do).

Parents who love plays and musicals will find this announcement perfect for their Broadway-bound child. You could also give this caption a sports twist ("Meet the newest member of our team!"). Or, if you're into other art forms: "Dancing our way into our hearts! (Name) is keeping us on our toes!" or "Introducing the greatest masterpiece in our family gallery!"

Hearing that first cry is music to a parent's ear, and many will be the nights in which Mom and Dad will stay awake listening to make sure their little one is still breathing. Capture the breathtaking miracle of birth with this caption.

Can you recite all the Star Wars plots, from A New Hope to Rogue One? Then this is the perfect birth announcement for you. Also caption-worthy is a Yoda quote from The Empire Strikes Back: "Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."

If you’re a major Harry Potter fan, it only makes sense to announce your little wizard’s entry into the world with a reference to the series. Soon enough, you’ll be picking up Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and reading to your little one about Harry and the gang’s adventures at Hogwarts.

Who doesn’t love a pop song reference? This Lizzo-inspired caption is perfect for any parent who frequents top 100 playlists and who wants to welcome their newborn into the world with a bit of fun.

This baby announcement caption serves as a cute and quippy introduction of your newborn to your social media circle. Now cue the celebratory comments from your followers!

There’s nothing quite like a Winnie-the-Pooh quote to pull at the heartstrings of your friends, family, and followers. Reading this caption gives off the same feeling as hugging an actual teddy bear.

You might as well get started on the dad (or mom) jokes early with this cheesy, playful pun.

The royal family aren’t the only ones with the right to announce their new additions to the family with pomp and circumstance: Your newborn is royalty, too! If you want to take it even further, an extra “The Duke and Duchess would like to thank members of the public for their shared excitement and support during this very special time in their lives” might add a bit more tongue-in-cheek, faux formality.

You could commit to the bit and make this caption even cuter by including your baby’s size, weight, and other “stats” (for example, last seen: the crib) as details on this western-style wanted poster announcement.

Sometimes a purposefully short, simple, and nonchalant caption can be just as impactful and charming as a lengthy, well-written one. You’ll have plenty more opportunities to get into celebrating all the specifics of your new baby in the time to come.
