The Most Creative Ways Funny Families Have Announced A Pregnancy
Call these parents-to-be whatever you'd like, but you can't say that they aren't creative. Some of these pregnancy announcements might be cringey, but let's just blame that on pregnancy brain. That's a real thing, you know. Gone are the days of simple pregnancy announcements. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you have to step your game up.
Keep reading to see the unforgettable ways these parents chose to tell their friends and family that they're expecting.
A Celebrity Cameo
Ok, this lady just won the pregnancy announcement game. Congrats, Emily. None of your friends are going to have a cooler pregnancy announcement than this one. Will Smith made this fan's day and helped her celebrate a big moment in her life.
The look on her face is absolutely priceless. Sometimes people like to copy their friends' pregnancy announcements, but this isn't an announcement that anybody is going to be able to copy any time soon.
What's Inside Those Bellies
Mom has a baby in her belly, sister's belly is full of juice, and dad's belly is full of beer. That sounds about right. We already thought that this was a cute pregnancy announcement, but when we saw that they took another corresponding picture after the baby was born, we just fell in love with this family
These guys have a good sense of humor, and they know how to get likes on social media. It's no wonder that this adorable pregnancy announcement went viral.
Getting A New Car Seat
I don't think dad is going to be able to fit two car seats in that little car of his. That's probably why the car is being put up for sale. Sorry, dad. A minivan just comes with the territory.
When we're young it's easy to make fun of minivan-driving parents. Then you get older and you become a parent yourself and everything changes. Minivans might not be cool, but they can carry a lot of cargo.
A Disney Pregnancy Announcement
What better place to announce that you're expecting than the happiest place on earth? What still baffles me about this photo is how they managed to get a picture in front of Cinderella's Castle without getting any other park guests in the shot. It must have been a Disney miracle.
This is an adorable way to announce that your little girl is about to become a big sister. She wears Minnie ears with "Big Sis" on the back while holding corresponding Mickey ears that say "Lil Bro."
Just One More Kid
These parents had their hands full with three kids when they decided to add another baby into the mix. That sign says that this baby is the last one, but we're not sure if we believe them.
Three kids is a lot of work. With a fourth baby on the way, these parents are promising that it will be their last — probably. They look like a family who loves to have fun together, so we're pretty sure that the fourth baby is going to be in great hands.
A Starbucks Fit For A Baby
Dad likes coffee, mom likes tea, and baby likes milk. Do you think this baby is going to be a Starbucks fan? She better be. Mom might have to switch to decaf tea for a little while, so it's a good thing that Starbucks has got plenty of herbal tea options.
Starbucks is an expensive coffee chain, though. This baby is doomed to a life of high-priced coffee, sugar-filled Fraps, and pastries that are heated up in a microwave.
Ice Ice Baby
Ok, you've probably seen a pregnancy announcement like this one before, but we think it's still cute. Sometimes it's best to stick with a tried and true option. Yeah, at this point it's not very creative, but at one point, somebody did it for the first time and it was genius.
This announcement doesn't cost very much, plus who doesn't need more ice? After you're done taking the picture, you can use the ice to keep your beer (or soda) cold.
A Low Tech Ultrasound
This picture is absolutely gorgeous, but we don't think that anybody is going to believe that that chalkboard is a real ultrasound. Nice try, parents. Anybody who does believe that you can see through flesh with a chalkboard and some chalk has a lot to learn about the way bodies and ultrasounds work.
It looks like this couple has a great sense of humor, which is very much needed in hard times with a newborn!
That Dog Is Going To Be A Big Brother
It's always a hit when pets get involved in pregnancy announcements. Pets are cute, babies are cute, what's not to like? Fortunately, most pets adapt well to a new baby in the mix, especially older pets. It looks like this dog is going to be a great big brother. He's already studying up on his new role in the family.
There are some human big brothers who could learn a thing or two form this golden retriever.
Demoted To Middle Child
Ah, middle child syndrome. It's a real thing! Just watch a few episodes of the classic sitcom Brady Bunch, and you'll see why being in the middle gets a bad rep. While being a middle child might not be so bad, this soon-to-be-middle child is not happy about it.
Meanwhile, her older brother sports a big smile knowing he will always be the oldest. Up next: see what happens when dad realizes the pregnancy tests says "positive"!
Still In Shock
The look on this trio's face says it all! The two little girls look shocked and excited to add a baby brother or sister. They're probably already dreaming up all of the shenanigans they can get into once they add another to their team.
We can't say the same for dad though, who looks shocked and a little...scared. We can't blame him though! After all, fatherhood isn't easy! And plus, once a third baby is thrown into the mix, mom and dad will officially be outnumbered.
A Pretty Balloon Announcement
Hire a professional photographer, buy some balloons and a marker, and you too can create a simple but cute pregnancy announcement. This is a good reminder that it's about getting the message out there and not necessarily creating the most over the top announcement of all time. Congrats mom and dad!
Two Is Better Than One
Mom and dad shared in this hilarious pregnancy announcement about twins. We can't feel all that sorry for dad, after all, it's mom who has to deliver her little bundles of joy. We have a feeling this humor loving mom and dad will do just fine with both of their little bundles of joy.
The Real Special Sauce
Everyone had a laugh when NFL Player Torrey Smith and his wife Chanel used this photo to announce their pregnancy. Many couples copied them after, staging the same spaghetti dinner, but we're handing it to them to be one of the originals, and definitely one of the most shared announcements!
A New Kind Of Horror Film
This is a fair assessment. Sure your child won't try to kill you, but you might go a little insane during the first few months of their birth. No sleep, a crying baby, and spit up can make you feel like the world is out to get you. Hold in there and the next 18 years will be awesome for you and your bundle of joy.
Fourth Time's The Charm
These three little girls don't seem to be super happy about another child joining their household. In the meantime, this dad is probably thinking, "please for once let's have a boy." We can't tell if mom's big grin is a "how is this happening again" or "I'm super happy" type of reaction. Good luck mom and dad, you'll need it.
No Longer An Only Child
This couple when with the "expiring only child" announcement, but put an adorably sweet twist on it. This little kid holds a sign that not only says they will no longer be an only child, but also that their new brother or sister will be their best friend. Sounds like an endearing sentiment, so let's hope it's true in the future!
Drinking For Two
Mom is eating for two and dad is drinking for two. That's fair... right? Dad had better celebrate while he can because in six months he won't be able to drink between no sleep, diaper change duty, and general parenting responsibilities. Humor really is the best way to celebrate the upcoming birth of your child.
Get The Dog In On it
It can be easy to forget that a pregnancy doesn't just mean big changes for other humans in the household. This adorable dog is reading up on how to get treats after a baby is born. I'm sure with his book smarts he'll figure out how to play the situation in his favor.
About To Be A Big Brother
Let's be clear that only this little boy's "only child" status is expiring in September and not his status in the family. It's a big change for little children to welcome a baby into the family. Given the smile on his face, this little boy is ready for a new sibling to join their clan.
Somebody Else Needs That Crib
This little girl looks very upset about being served an eviction notice. Sorry sweetie, this crib needs to go to a baby who is even smaller than you are. Do you know what this means, though? She's about to get her very first big-girl bed.
She might be upset right now, but we bet that she's going to absolutely love her new sibling— even if it means she has to move out of her crib.
He's Getting A Sidekick
For superhero-lovers and comic book fans, this is an awesome way to announce your new addition to the family. This little guy is about to become a heroic older brother to a little Robin or Catwoman. Let's just hope he understands what he is about to get himself into, because a lot of little kids tend not to know what becoming an older sibling actually entails.
Another Pet, Another Announcement
In this announcement, the pup is the center of attention because it's not the parents getting a baby, so much as it is the dog getting a new human. For parents of fur babies, having an actual baby makes them worry about how their beloved pet may react to a new human—especially one that will cry and take up all their owner's attention.
Best Friends Forever
This is a great way to announce the birth of your new baby, especially if you're a fan of the comedic classic Step Brothers. When Will Ferrell's character and John C. Reilly's character finally give in to getting to know each other, they realize they will be best friends. This little boy must feel the same way about his baby brother!
Gone Fishing
For the couple that loves outdoor activities, especially fishing, this announcement is truly clever. Calling their pregnancy their "greatest catch" and emphasizing the announcement with a tiny fishing rod, this couple probably can't wait to take their new bundle of joy out fishing with them!
Don't Panic
For new parents, the prospect of a having a baby can truly be overwhelming. This couple probably feels that way on the inside, but made light of it with this hilarious announcement! Practicing baby care on the cat might help since cats think they're humans anyway. The best part about this photo is the dad's face!
The Circus Is In Town
Life can get pretty hectic for growing families, especially when you're adding a baby to a family that already has two young kids. This couple seems to take it in stride as they say they're adding a new act to their circus of rambunctious kiddies! But this lovely couple looks like they know exactly what they're doing.
A Dr. Seuss Announcement
This couple cleverly announced their pregnancy with a couple of Dr. Seuss classics. Mom reads Are You My Mother? while Dad reads Hop on Pop to imply that they are soon-to-be parents! You can bet that they'll probably be reading these books to their little bundle of joy when the time comes.
Something's In Her Pouch
If it is around Halloween and you've yet to surprise your loved ones with your news, this is a cute and funny way to announce your pregnancy! This woman dressed up as a kangaroo and even went so far as to add a pouch with a little joey in it. Her bulging belly is the dead giveaway, though!
Knocked Up
This couple took a frank but funny approach to their pregnancy announcement. Mom-to-be holds a sign to her partner that labels him as the "Baby Daddy," while future Dad holds a sign up to his lady that says she's knocked up. This simple announcement surely gets a few chuckles for how honest it is.
Make It Fun, Make It Halloween
It must have also been around Halloween when this couple decided to announce to the world that they were expecting baby number three! Everyone in the family wore shirts to show what they had hidden inside their bodies. Mom's obviously has a little skeleton baby, but what's funny is the kids' shirts show candy in their tummies while Dad's shirt has pizza and beer!
He's Not Ready
Some guys are truly shocked to find out that they're about to be dads. This couple decided to hilariously announce their pregnancy by showing Father-to-be having fainted at the sight of a positive pregnancy test. You can see Mom in the background saying, "Why are you so surprised?" Hopefully, this wasn't an accurate depiction of how he actually found out.
A Role Reversal
This couple announced their pregnancy with the classic maternity shoot pose but with a twisted turn. Instead of Mom holding her belly (since she probably isn't showing yet in this picture), they decided to have Dad do it! Some guys really know how to stick out their beer bellies to make it look like they're pregnant so this photo was perfect!
Becoming A Family Of Five
This couple's best subject in school was probably math, which is why they decided to announce their pregnancy with a simple equation. But wait, why does Dad plus Mom equal five? Yup, this implies that the mother-to-be is about to be the proud mother of triplets! Let's just hope they're both ready for that!
An Announcement You Can Eat
This mother-to-be announced her pregnancy in the sweetest way! This was probably at her workplace, where she announced her pregnancy to her co-workers by bringing them donuts. If we were her, we probably wouldn't want to the only ones in the office with heavy bellies either, but at least she gets a lovely surprise at the end of it all. This was probably also her peace offering for leaving her coworkers before maternity leave!
Keep It Simple
This announcement is simple and sweet. The parents-to-be share a loving embrace, while Mom holds a onesie behind her husband's back. The onesie is enough of a giveaway on its own but the fact that it says "Guess What" makes the announcement more exciting! Cheers to the new parents!
How Gamers Announce A Pregnancy
The Nintendo Wii might not have the same appeal it had years ago but its cultural relevance is impossible to deny. These parents found a fun and unique way to create a "baby" Wiimote for their upcoming child. We have a feeling this baby is going to be a fan of gaming.
Fun On The Beach
This is a cute and creative way to announce your pregnancy, especially if it's summer. Beach dwellers and surfers alike might like to announce their new bundle of joy by hoisting their ultrasound on a pair of baby flip-flops. Kudos to the parents here, who opted for both a blue and pink flip-flop so as to keep the gender a surprise for now.
We All Love A Good Pop Culture Reference
Even if you have never seen Baywatch, nearly everyone can recognize bombshell Pamela Anderson in her fiery red bathing suit. This cute and creative pregnancy announcement pays tribute to Baywatch fans everywhere while also getting to spend a fun afternoon at the beach. In the photo, the mom-to-be is wearing a similar red bathing suit with the words "Baby Watch" across her tummy, while sporting lifeguard accessories. Meanwhile, Dad is looking on in surprise. We foresee many trips to the beach in store for this soon-to-be-family of 3!
They're Expecting A Baby Girl
It's not often that we see same-sex pregnancy announcements. But families come in all shapes and sizes and this clever pregnancy announcement proves it! This beautiful husband and husband announced they would be expanding to a family of three (a daughter to be exact) by photographing themselves with an adorable dress and little shoes. The words above them reading, "Only one woman could ever come between us," is both creative and shows their sense of humor.
