17 Adorable Pregnancy Announcement Ideas That Scream Summer Fun
For most people summer is the ultimate time to unplug and recharge -- to gear up for finishing the year strong and getting ready to embrace the new year to come. And for parents-to-be preparing to have a little one in December or January, that couldn't be more true! They're also most likely going to be ready to announce the exciting news over the summer, too. And although there are some creative announcement ideas that can work any time of year, there are also seasonal options to help personalize the news even more. From the Fourth of July announcements on behalf of a little firecracker to the ocean-inspired ideas for a beach baby, there are so many festive themes for future moms and dads to take inspiration.
Before winter babes make their grand entrance, incorporate their special announcement into some summer fun. Whether mom is ready to share the baby news in June, July, or August, a summer photo has some serious perks. Not only does it mean better lighting and the ability to shoot outside, but it also gives more wardrobe options such as busting out the best sundress or swimsuits in the closet. Score!
There are so many fun ways to introduce the little one to the world that can include the beach, but the announcement doesn't have to. Inspiration can come from many other summer sweet spots, such as the water, the mountains, or even backyard fun! All mom needs to do is pick one that she loves the best. We've collected 17 of our favorite summer pregnancy announcements we're obsessed with to get the creative juices flowing. Take a look at these amazing warm-weather options and let these sunny ideas inspire baby's big reveal.
BIG SISTER BOOT CAMP
If this isn't mom's first rodeo (or her second) then why not combine the classic summer camp experience with a little big sister boot camp? This adorable shot is perfect for parents who want to include their older children in their baby announcement. We love it!
BIKINIS OR TRUNKS?
If mom and dad are not revealing the gender of baby (or they don't want to know until the little one is here!) then why not do a "Bikinis or trunks?" announcement? Get a clothesline, some tiny bathing suits, and a chalkboard and have instant summer baby announcement perfection.
TAKE A HIKE!
The great outdoors can be a wonderful inspiration for a summer shoot. Just take this photo by Cait Pappas of Nest Out West. To do this at home, all one needs to do is to find a trail or scenic spot outside and get a little creative with deck chairs. It's so simple and so cute!
FISHING FOR A SISTER, HUNTING FOR A BROTHER
Now here's an announcement for the family that likes to hunt and fish. This cute chalkboard sign by Chalking It Up Boards is the cutest way to announce that the oldest child is about to become a big sibling!
A LITTLE POETRY
Letter boards are an easy way to make a baby announcement personal, but this mom took it a step further and threw a little poetry into the mix. Decorate the letter board with sweet summer objects such as leaves or sunflowers, and don't forget the tiny shoes.
