Why Christian Pregnancy Announcement Ideas Touch My Heart
When you are a Christian, you try your best to focus on the Lord and acknowledge that all your blessings come from him. It is so easy to get caught up in the things of this world with how busy and fast paced life as can be.
It’s a wonderful idea to slow down, on more than just Thanksgiving and Sundays, to recognize God working in your life. There are always cards for each occasion that contain verses or messages about God, there’s no reason your pregnancy announcement can’t do the same.
If you are looking to share the big news in a special way, send a pregnancy announcement card with an image like one below. Another great thing about the pregnancy announcements I’ve selected to include in this post is that most of them are available for you to customize on Etsy. Of course, you are welcome to simply be inspired by the images and recreate something similar at home with baby items and a letter board, but if you want you can also click on the link below each image to head over to Etsy and customize that exact image with your own words and ultrasound image.
One advantage to recreating the images at home is that you can add extra decorative elements or switch up the message or Bible verses featured in the image (usually on a letter board but a chalk board can work equally as well). Many of the verses that people have chosen to share the grace of God in the Christian pregnancy announcements are repetitive, but I have 15 Best Bible verses that are perfect to include in your pregnancy announcement for a bit more variety.
Other Times Christian Pregnancy Announcements are Special
While sharing your love of God every day is a great idea, to some, making note of pregnancy as a blessing from the hand of God can feel even more important. Any pregnancy announcement is special and sharing the gift of life with your close family and friends, but you may feel driven to include a Bible verse that speaks to your heart and soul even more if you have struggled with fertility.
Also, if this is a rainbow baby (a baby being born after the loss of another), the life inside you may feel like an even bigger blessing than it would have otherwise. Or if you struggled to become pregnant, you may really want to include a special Bible quote in your pregnancy announcement as well.
For those who have struggled to get pregnant or struggled to carry a pregnancy to term in the past this special moment is even easier to recognize as a wonderful blessing from above.
20 Christian Pregnancy Announcement Ideas to Personalize or Copy
