22 Valentine's Day Pregnancy Announcement Ideas Sweeter Than Candy

For an easy and impactful photo reveal that still looks styled, get a bunch of fun Valentine’s Day balloons. Take notes from @jordd and opt for personalized balloons to share your big news and the baby’s due date.

Don’t skimp on the pregnancy announcement for baby two, especially when it gives you a prime opportunity to use the classic “roses are red” poem like @raising.little.bradshaws did here. A letter board pregnancy reveal is always cute, especially with a few festive additions in the background like a paper heart garland and a doily background.

They’ll be shocked and elated when they open this little box and see two little handmade booties waiting for them. In case there’s any confusion, the Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement from Etsy includes a rhyming message that’s personalized depending on whether the news is going to a partner or grandparents.

There’s nothing quite as cute as letting your pup deliver the news. These custom bandanas from @waggoworks can be made to say whatever you want, so the big reveal can be as subtle or as obvious as you want.

Take inspiration from @kenna_reklis and deck out an ultrasound photo by putting it on a letter board, spelling out the name and when the baby is due, and adding some single stem roses and individual pieces of chocolate. This is easy to pull off and is unmistakably Valentine’s Day themed.

A Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement like this one from @porcelaindollfinn is the perfect excuse to buy the red maternity dress. Create a simple yet festive background using some V. Day decor and have any older siblings or partners join in on the fun.

Enlist the help of professionals like @southernchalking to make a custom chalkboard sign announcing your pregnancy. If you have the artistic chops (and frankly even if you don’t) you could also make a chalk design on the driveway to greet your guests with the news.

If you have friends or family coming over for a Valentine’s Day celebration, put big brother in this cute tee from @greysoncolecreations_. The most observant in the group will squeal with delight and set of a chain reaction.

If you’re going for a bump reveal on Feb. 14, put a heart sticker or a cute temporary tattoo on your bump like @adriananathalyy did. This is an understated Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement that’s still super cute and clear.

You’ve seen this one done before, but that doesn’t make it any less cute. Choose a pair of red or pink shoes for Valentine’s Day and have your partner stand behind you or next to you holding hands. Add some punny text like “a new sole is coming” or “really feeling these little kicks.”

For a fun and festive twist on “a bun in the oven” switch out the bread for a Valentine’s Day cupcake and caption your photo with something about how you’re baking something especially sweet this Valentine’s Day.

Get a heart-shaped box of chocolates and put your ultrasound photo inside, then snap a pic. It’s the perfect way to announce the sweetest surprise of all.

Say it with a onesie from Etsy shop, Shop Little Bear Design. The cool thing about this is that you can have it customized with the baby’s last name (or first, if you’re ready to share) plus their due date month, and you’ll have a physical object you can one day show the baby. Bonus points if you have a letter board to write in how far along you are.

If you prefer to go the subtle route, you could do what Kristin Cavallari did when she and husband Jay announced they were expecting their third child: share a pic of yourself forming a hand-heart over your growing baby bump.

No message-heart candy in the stores? Say it with personalized balloons instead, as this couple did last year when they had their photo taken by Sara Wise Photography.

Big brother or sister will love to be involved with the announcement of baby number two, and these cute customized shirts are a great way to make that happen. You can pick the color combo if your kid isn’t into red, and reviewers noted that this shirt is true to size.

Dogs are part of the family too, and this sign (which is a printout from Etsy store, Chalking It Up Boards) is a fun way to spread the word about your new addition (and your pet’s new BFF, hopefully).

This sweet and simple design is made of 100% organic cotton and eco-friendly dyes. You can pull off an easy photo shoot by setting your iPhone to the self-timer mode, then snapping a pic of you and your partner each holding one side of the onesie. Plus once baby is here you can never have enough of these.

Giving your family individual wine bottles with a revealing label, like this one from Inscape Creations will ensure both a flurry of congratulations and an impromptu toast. (Mom-to-be can have sparkling cider instead.) Note that this is a set of six labels, wine not included.

Sure candy hearts may taste like chalk (in my humble opinion) but they make a really cute pregnancy announcement. You can buy customizable hearts and get one that says “baby” plus the numbers of the due date, then snap a pic on a pretty red or white background. Or if you can’t stomach the chalky little treats, announce using candy heart balloons like these from Etsy.

Remember how fun it was getting Valentines in school? You could go the snail-mail route and send out physical cards, like these pregnancy reveal notes, with your good news written inside. Just make sure to FaceTime those closest to you to see their priceless reaction when opening.

Unlike instant-win lottery tickets, which lose more often than they win, these Valentine's scratch-off announcements from Emma Lee Lou Designs are all winners. Distribute them to family and friends and watch them reveal the underlying message (customizable, but "We're pregnant!" is the default).
