When it comes to online baby announcements, there are no rules at all. You can decide to announce your new bundle of joy on social media before they're even home from the hospital, or you might want to wait weeks or even months before sharing any details online. Some people skip the social media announcement altogether—and that's fine too!
How you share your growing family with the world is up to you. But if those plans include announcing on Instagram, here are some baby announcement ideas that are sure to light up your friends and family's feeds.
Many new parents choose to include basic information about their newborn in their birth announcement. These details may include the baby's name, birthday, weight and length, location and time of birth, parents' names, and sometimes their sex. If you're also adding a personalized message, here are some ideas:
Welcome to the world, (baby name)!
Meet the new love of our lives, (baby name).
The wait is finally over! We're thrilled to welcome (baby name).
Hello, world! Introducing our bundle of joy (baby name).
On (birth date), we were blessed with the arrival of (baby name).
Dreams do come true!
It's official! (Baby name) arrived on (birthdate).
Hello, my name is (baby name).
(Parents' names) welcome the newest addition to the family, (baby name).
They're here at last!
Oh wow! Meet (baby name).
It's a baby!
Our little one has arrived!
Introducing our bouncing baby , (baby name).
Our baby arrived! Please welcome (baby name).
Announcing our darling baby, (baby name).
We're tickled pink over the arrival of (baby name).
Introducing (baby name), the new ruler of the cutie pies.
Who will they grow up to be? We're not sure; we'll wait and see!
Funny Baby Announcement Ideas
Another approach is humor. Here are some quirky ideas to get the juices flowing:
Our home has grown by two feet!
There's a new baby in town!
Look who decided to show up!
Look what the stork dropped.
It's time for dirty diapers, sleepless nights, and endless love. Welcome (baby name).
“The best things in life are about to get a little better! “Adding a new chapter to our love story… Baby [Last Name] arriving soon! “Our family is expanding, and our hearts are too!

Many parents choose to share the big news around the 20-week mark. During your second-trimester ultrasound, you should be able to confirm a clear due date and learn baby's sex, if you haven't already.
“What happy news and whether your child is a boy or a girl, I know your baby will be beautiful.” “Whether boy or girl, they will be as cute as a button and I am thrilled for you both.” “We were both so happy to hear your news and wish you well on your gender reveal day.”
Before revealing the big news to the world, think about who you want to tell and in what order, and how you want to make the announcement. For example, you could reveal the news in person, over the phone, virtually, on social media, or by mailing a pregnancy announcement card.
Get a copy of your partner's favourite baby book or a classic title and insert your own pages into the middle of the story to divulge the big news. Ask your partner to read the book to you, and once they've read the part revealing that you're pregnant, surprise them with a cute pair of baby shoes!
A lot of women choose to announce their pregnancy at the end of the first trimester because the risk of miscarriage is greatly reduced and their pregnancy “bump” may no longer be easy to hide. Of course, announcing at the 12-week mark isn't required and the choice is entirely up to you.
