20 Festive Ways To Announce Your Pregnancy On St. Patrick's Day

How can you not use a great play on words for your St. Patrick’s Day baby announcement? Here are a few suggestions (though there are plenty more of these pot-o-gold ideas).

Every pregnancy announcement is beautiful, but there is something extra special about announcing a rainbow baby. If you've got one on the way, incorporate it into your St. Patrick's Day announcement. Take a photo with your partner cradling your new bump or holding a baby item, and caption it with something like, "At the end of our rainbow, there's no pot of gold. There's something better: a baby to hold!"

This one alludes to the Irish accent, but you can spin it into a punny St. Patrick’s Day pregnancy announcement by taking a picture with you surrounded by your other kids and a huge mess of, say, broken toys. And then you’re in the center, smirking.

This St. Patrick’s Day pregnancy announcement is ideal for both a March 17 due date and for a family of redheads. It says, “Yes, we know we’re very Irish and we totally embrace that.”

Let your child join in on the fun and announce your pregnancy to the world. Dress them up in a festive green outfit, and have them hold up a poster or sheet of paper that says "Lucky me... I'm a big [sister or brother] to be!" Add your estimated due date, ultrasound photo, or whatever else you'd like to include.

For this pun, you and your partner can pose with your big belly and flash some rock fingers to show you’re ready to kick this pregnancy up to level 11. It’s a fun blend of rock n’ roll and a taste of the old country for a perfect St. Patrick’s Day pregnancy announcement.

If you're already bursting out of your t-shirts, this can be a super funny St. Patrick’s Day pregnancy announcement. Gather your pals to create a party scene, then have you in the center of it in all of your bump glory.

Want to let your friends know that baby-to-be is expected on St. Patrick’s day? Try this punny caption and wait to hear all kinds of whoops and cheers.

Put an Irish spin on the phrase "Oh baby" to announce your growing bundle of joy. Don your most festive St. Patrick's Day outfit, hold up an ultrasound picture or point to your growing bump, and caption the picture, "O'Baby!" (Add a four leaf clover emoji for good measure.) Or if you're really dedicated, get a cute O'Baby shirt (like the one @stephanieclary on Instagram is rocking above) and pose with an ultrasound pic.

Keep your announcement simple and sweet. Lay a baby-related item like an ultrasound, baby booties, a bodysuit, or a pacifier (bonus points if they're green) on a flat surface, and scatter some St. Patrick's Day confetti around it. Snap a picture and caption it with the words, "We are feeling extra lucky this St. Patrick's Day."

The typical treasure discussed on St. Patrick's Day is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If you're pregnant, you know there is a treasure that is way better. Grab a printable sign from Etsy and take a few festive photos in your best St. Paddy's garb. Or, arrange the sign with a green bodysuit, ultrasound photo, or pair of baby shoes.
