Stage 1 • The Surprise
Pregnancy Announcement Wording Templates
Sometimes the hardest part is finding the right words. These starting points are meant to be adapted, not copied. Take what fits and make it yours.
Simple and Direct
"We have some news. A baby is joining our family this [season/month]." Clean, warm, and easy to personalize with a due date or a detail that makes it feel specific to your story. Works for in-person announcements, cards, and social media equally well.
Warm and Personal
"Our family is growing, and we could not be more grateful. Baby [last name] arrives [timeframe], and we cannot wait to introduce them to all of you." This tone works well for close family and friends who have been part of your journey.
Light and Celebratory
"Surprise! We are expecting. [Due date or season], our little one makes their debut." Short, joyful, and easy to pair with a photo. This style works well for social media where you want the image to carry most of the weight.
For the Onesie or Card
"Coming [month/season]." "Promoted to big [sibling]." "New arrival incoming." Short phrases work best when paired with a physical piece. Let the object and the moment do the talking, and keep the words minimal and clear.
Pair the Words With the Moment
Find pieces that bring your announcement to life. Designed to carry the message as much as the words do.
