It's that time of year again where it's all about pumpkin spice and everything nice. And while those orange gourds seem to turn up in just about everything tasty during the fall months (we can practically smell pumpkin bread baking right now), they also make for cheerful, cozy decor. So much so that a slew of expecting parents use the fruit as the perfect little messenger for revealing the news that they have a little pumpkin of their own on the way. Seriously, is there anything cuter than capturing nature's autumnal bounty while making such an exciting announcement? We're hard-pressed to think of something better. 

Then again, we're all about the pumpkin.

From the sweet to the sentimental to the slightly sarcastic and silly, parents have offered up a bunch of different pregnancy announcement ideas on Pinterest that make us swoon with pumpkin envy. Carving skills are a bonus, but not always necessary when creating the ideal setup to be photographed for either a printed mailing or digital image for social media.

If this isn't a first child, it's also fun to get the rest of the brood in on the announcement action. Pumpkins for the entire family! And these creative families definitely prove it. From simply carved pumpkins to elaborately stages shoots, these announcements are perfect for pumpkin-obsessed families. There's really never been a better moment to capitalize on that love of the p-u-m-p-k-i-n than right now, before everyone has had all of the PSLs they can handle for the season.
