1. Pastel Hues for Your Special News
Keep things dreamy and delicate with soft, watercolor-inspired hues. Pastel balloons, soft blankets, and spring newborn outfits, like Zippies in Soft Pink and Pastel Green ensure the colors do the talking. A sweet sign that says "A little pastel perfection arriving soon" will tie it all together!
2. Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Announcing a rainbow baby? Share your news with our Pastel Rainbows print for a special baby announcement with pajamas. Capture the moment with a colorful balloon arch or even a homemade rainbow cake for an extra sweet touch. A sentimental sign that says, “After every storm, comes a rainbow” with your due date seals the deal.
3. April Showers Bring… a Baby!
Embrace the springtime rain! Grab some baby rain boots, pose with your partner under an umbrella, and hold a sweet chalk-drawn sign that says “April Showers Bring…” with your due date. For added cuteness, include your little one’s future favorite Sleepyhead Lovey and soft baby clothes in the photo!
4. There’s a Baby Blooming
For a floral baby announcement, arrange your ultrasound photos in the center of a flower bouquet with a sign or caption that says, “There’s a baby in bloom!” Set up a dreamy outdoor photoshoot in a field of spring flowers for extra magic. We love our Butterfly Blooms print for this theme. Nothing says spring pregnancy announcement like a fresh floral setting!
5. Egg-specting Somebunny?
Having an Easter baby? Try placing your ultrasound photo in an Easter basket, incorporating a sweet plush bunny in your photos, or even writing your due date on pastel painted Easter eggs! Some cute phrases for signs we love are, “We’re egg-specting somebunny!” or “Baby hatching soon!” We love our Pastel Plaid print for this idea.
6. Your Little Lemon Squeeze!
Here’s a sweet way to announce your freshly squeezed surprise! Place your ultrasound photo in a basket of fresh lemons surrounded by yellow daisies or even a makeshift lemonade stand. Incorporate our Lemon Twist Zippy for extra sweetness! A sign that reads “When life gives you lemons…” or “A little lemon is on the way” adds the perfect playful touch to announce your main squeeze.
7. Spring Training: Rookie on the Way!
Sports-loving parents, this one's for you! Take your baby announcement out to the ballgame. Place your ultrasound photo inside of a baseball glove with a letterboard saying, "Future MVP arriving soon!" Incorporate one of our Signature solid Zippies in your team’s color for the perfect catch.
8. Picnic Perfection
Nothing says spring quite like a picnic! Lay out a soft blanket, pack some seasonal fruit, cut some fresh flowers, and let your announcement shine! Place your ultrasound photos among your spread and add in one of our neutral printed newborn Zippies, like Desert Sunrise, for a sweet touch.
9. Team Green!
For the green thumbs and gardeners, how about a greenhouse announcement? Plant your sweet news among the greenery, either by using your ultrasound photo or our fan-fave comeback print, Succulent Love. Use a sign that reads, “Our family is growing…” surrounded by potted plants or tiny seedlings. A watering can or mini garden tools make cute props to complete the theme!
10. Your Growing Family…
In keeping with the spring gardening theme, we *love* this unique idea for those expecting a sibling! Use succulent plants or flowerpots to make your announcement. Write one word on each of the pots to form the following sentence, “Here we grow again!” and add your due date for a sweet finish. Don’t forget to shop Secret Garden!
11. You Are My Sunshine
Using our Signature Sunshine print, announce your little ray of sunshine on the way! Add a letterboard that says, “Our little ray of sunshine arriving…” with your due date. Make sure you get the good lighting! Bonus points for incorporating sunflowers or capturing that golden-hour glow.
12. Here’s the Scoop…
How about an ice cream theme to announce your new flavor? Our Sweet Scoops print makes the perfect prop. Include a letterboard or chalkboard sign that says, “Here’s the scoop: New Flavor Coming!” with your due date. For a sibling announcement, let them enjoy their ice cream treat with a sign that says, “I’ve got the scoop! Baby #2 is coming.”
13. Bee-utiful Baby Buzz
A sweet-as-honey announcement featuring our Bee Mine print or any of our yellow styles says spring! Set the scene with some honeycomb or a jar of honey and wooden dipper as a prop. Use a letterboard sign reading, “Mommy-to-bee & Daddy-to-bee” or “Buzzing with excitement — Baby on the way!”
14. Rub-a-Dub Baby
Why not create a playful bathtime baby announcement inspired by our Blue Tidepool print? Set up a tiny tub (or a bubble-filled sink!), add yellow floating rubber duckies, and snap a sweet bubbly photo with a letterboard saying “Rubber Ducky, we’re so lucky! Baby arriving soon” to tie it all together.
15. Love You to the Moon and Back!
Minimalist moon lovers, we see you! A simple gender neutral baby announcement inspired by our Signature print, Luna Neutral, is sometimes the way to go. Surrounded by clear dusk skies, fresh greenery, and nature’s joy, this announcement feels effortlessly chic and timeless. We love the caption, “We’re over the moon to meet you!”
