If you are ready to announce your pregnancy in July or if your baby is due at the start of July consider creating a Fourth of July pregnancy announcement with ultrasound image. There are so many patriotic pregnancy announcement ideas that you can either take inspiration from and replicate at home or simply customize and order via Etsy. Either way, when you take the ideas from this post, you’re sure to have a fantastic 4th of July pregnancy announcement with ultrasound idea.
Tips for Creating Your Own Fourth of July Pregnancy Announcement with Ultrasound
All of the examples of 4th of July pregnancy ultrasounds that I’ve found come directly from Etsy. There are so many beautiful and impressive pregnancy announcement ideas on Etsy that you can easily (and extrememly affordably) customize with your family’s name, your own verbiage, and your baby’s ultrasound image.
But if you’d like to use inspiration from this post only and recreate something similar at home, keep these tips in mind for creating your trendy pregnancy announcement this 4th of July.
Use a Letterboard or Chalkboard
It is still a popular choice to use a letterboard or chalkboard to get your message across in your pregnancy announcements. While it is by no means required to have a board stating something like, “Our little firecracker is due March 2025” on your pregnancy announcement, letterboards can be a fun way to share information about your upcoming addition to the family.
Consider writing a clever phrase referencing the Fourth of July, your baby’s name and gender if you know either at the time of sending out your announcement and your due date. Check out the photos below for some cute and clever phrases you can use on your board.
It’s All About the Red White and Blue
If you want yourself, your spouse, your other children, or your pets featured in your pregnancy announcement, begin setting up for your photoshoot by dressing everyone in red white, and blue. You can turn any of these pet pregnancy announcement ideas or sibling pregnancy announcement ideas into a 4th of July theme by simply dressing everyone in those patriotic colors.
Beyond dressing in red white and blue, having some red white, and blue decorations or baby items either behind you, that you hold, or laid flat near a letterboard also helps to pull together a Fourth of July pregnancy announcement theme.
Don’t Forget the Ultrasound Image!
You can either have a family or personal photo shoot or set up your very own flat lay to create a custom Fourth of July pregnancy announcement. It’s a really special touch to add one of your first ultrasound images into the photo as well.
This is especially helpful if you choose to be featured in the photo yourself but aren’t showing yet. No one will get confused about the message you are trying to send if you hold up an ultrasound image in front of your belly.
Use Fourth of July Decor
The fourth of July is probably the most decorated for amongst the beginning of the year holidays. Meaning, that you will find lots of Fourth of July decorations that you can use when setting up your photo. Whether you visit a Dollar Tree, Walmart, or party store, I’m sure you will find some sparkly and festive 4th of July decor that will work perfectly for your pregnancy announcement.
Use Red, White, and Blue Baby Items
Many people choose to either hold up or lay out lots of baby items in their pregnancy announcements. Whether you are holding a patriotic onesie or a pair of red and blue baby shoes, be sure that the baby items you choose fit within that color scheme.
Bright and Festive Fourth of July Pregnancy Announcement with Ultrasound Image
Most people love decorating for this holiday with bright and bold colors. Let family and friends know that you are expecting a new little bundle of joy with bright red, white, and blue decor. It’s like Christmas pregnancy announcements, you really can’t ever go too bold or over-the-top with the theme if that is your preference.
You can use cute and clever verbiage on your letterboard or chalkboard like, “Our little firecracker is coming” or “We’ve been keeping an explosive secret.”
Whether you prefer mostly white with a splash of red and white or you prefer the opposite, I’m sure you’ll find a pregnancy announcement here that inspires you to recreate or that you can customize on Etsy. This example is mostly white with pops of red and blue.
Look how patriotic and festive the opposite approach looks. There is no right or wrong way to design your Fourth of July pregnancy announcement with ultrasound, you should let your personality shine and find one that speaks to you.
A subtle flag backdrop with red, white, and blue baby items is a patriotic and straightforward way to design your pregnancy announcement. The baby items don’t have to be inherently patriotic. It’s easy to find red baby shoes or a white onesie to go with a blue rattle for example.
You can make the ultrasound image be the forefront of the pregnancy announcement or you can have it be more subtle simply mixed in with all the other baby items and Fourth of July decor. It’s up to you.
Firework references are a fun way to share with family and friends how tough it’s been to keep the secret of your new baby for weeks. These flat-lay pregnancy announcements are not only perfect to print and send out but also perfect to share with your followers on social media.
You can even make or order a custom onesie for the occasion. You can then proceed to use the 4th of July onesie in a flat lay as you can see here or hold it up alongside an ultrasound image and have your significant other or photographer take a photo of you.
You can even use a dark theme for your Fourth of July pregnancy announcement, after all, the biggest festivities of the holiday take place after dark. Also in the next section if you are looking or a 4th of July pregnancy announcement but prefer more neutral and subtle hues you will find what you are looking for there.
If you are a military family, the Fourth of July may hold even more meaning for you. As the Fourth is a holiday celebrating America’s freedom from Britain, incorporating some camo and military references fits perfectly in a Fourth of July announcement.
Stars and stripes and clever wording make a perfect announcement here. “Red, white, and due… Expecting Baby #2.” Even if this is not your second baby and you need to leave that part out, “Red, white and due” is pretty clever too.
Sharing the news of your pregnancy is a special time. Whether you want a photo of your spouse and yourself for your announcement, or to simply customize one of these images, I hope you glean a lot of inspiration from looking through these photos.
This unique image just screams baby and summertime to me. Here you can see how the same cute wording, “Red, white, and due” can look very different when you design your pregnancy announcement a bit differently.

If you are setting up a flatlay photo at home you can simply include two onsies to get the point across that you are expecting twins. But it does become even more clear with two ultrasound images (although both twins are usually showing in each photo because they are so small at this point).
You can even add in some cute wording about twins either on the onsies you are featuring in your photo or on a letterboard. Things like, “Red, white and Due with Two!” or “Red, White, and Due! We’re Having Two!” work perfectly.
