Pregnancy is one of the most exciting times of your life and announcing the big news to your family and friends is a wonderfully exciting event. Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to share that you’re pregnant with your loved ones. It’s a day full of love, emotions, and positivity, making it the ideal opportunity to spread the joy of a new arrival. In this article, we will discuss how to choose the right time to announce your pregnancy, the best tips for designing a perfect Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement, and lots of examples of sweet and special Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement ideas.
How to Choose the Right Time to Announce Your Pregnancy
Choosing the right time to announce your pregnancy can be daunting but is also very exciting. Most women wait until at least 12 weeks before sharing the news of their pregnancy with their friends and family. After that period, the risk of miscarriage drastically decreases, making it less likely that the pregnancy will be lost. But, of course, the decision of when to send out your announcements is entirely up to you. Some people get so excited they want to share the news right away; especially when their close family and friends already know they have been hoping for a baby.
If you decide that around 12 weeks is when you’d like to announce your pregnancy and that falls anywhere in January or February, why not consider doing a Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement?
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to announce your pregnancy because it’s all about sharing love. What could possibly show more love than the creation of a brand new life with your partner?
So whether you are around 12 weeks pregnant near Valentine’s Day or if your baby is due near Valentine’s Day you should really consider using the holiday of love to share the news.
Tips for the Best Valentine’s Day Pregnancy Announcements
When it comes to creating a Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement, you have several options. You can order a professional pregnancy announcement on Etsy, set up a DIY photoshoot with props, set up a DIY photoshoot with a tripod or your partner or friend, or even go for a professional photoshoot.
Let’s look at the best tips for each Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement idea:
Order a professional pregnancy announcement from Etsy: Etsy has a wide range of pregnancy announcement designs from which you can choose. You can even customize them to suit your needs. Some designs come with a Valentine’s Day theme, such as pink, red, or heart-shaped designs. In this post I’ll be sharing lots of images of these designs and there will be links below each image so that you can customize it if you find one you love.
Use a tripod, spouse, or friend for a DIY photoshoot: If you want an even more personal Valentine’s pregnancy announcement featuring a picture of yourself or you and your spouse, set up your own photoshoot! Wear pink or red, get some heart props, and set up one of the ideas below. You can have a friend, your partner, or a tripod take the pictures for you.
Set up a DIY photoshoot with props: If you don’t want to be featured in your pregnancy announcement, you can set up a DIY photoshoot with props at home much like the ones you would find on Etsy. Use official Valentine’s Day props such as balloons, flowers, a welcome baby banner, or all of the above. You can use a camera or a tripod to capture the perfect shot.
Go for a professional photoshoot: A photoshoot with a professional photographer is really the most ideal if you want to capture the essence of Valentine’s Day professionally and romantically. A professional photographer will have all the necessary equipment and props, and they will know how to set up your pregnancy announcement in the best possible way. If you want a clear and bright photo, I recommend going this route.
