Photo Op Ideas for Christmas Baby Announcement

These days, there are tons of great ideas for creating the perfect photo.

Photo ideas that include the expecting parents:

• Have “Santa” (your partner) hold a positive pregnancy test with you
• Wear Christmas pregnancy announcement shirts that say “Baby’s First Christmas”
• Take pregnancy photos in front of the Christmas tree
• Use holiday-themed props in your announcement photo (Christmas lights, garland, etc.)

For creative ideas that just include the expecting mother:

• Drape a string of pearls around your neck with a sign that says “coming soon”
• Wrap a present around your stomach
• Hold a holiday-themed ultrasound photo
• Write a Christmas message in the snow and stand near it

For creative photos without any people:

• Use holiday-themed props (Christmas lights, garland, etc.) with a positive pregnancy test or ultrasound
• Take a picture of your Christmas tree with a baby’s first Christmas ornament
• Put presents under the tree with a note that says “Baby’s First Christmas”
• Get a chalkboard or felt board and create a special Christmas message

Overall, a photo Christmas pregnancy announcement can be as simple or extravagant as you’d like. What’s most important is the message behind it! Plus, you can just throw it in the mail for a fun surprise.

Video Announcements (Virtual)

If you’re not able to be with your friends or family in person this holiday season, a video announcement is the next best thing. You can get creative with props and backgrounds, or keep it simple with a heartfelt message.

Here are a few video holiday pregnancy announcement ideas to get you started:

• Record yourself opening presents and say that the best present of all is the baby you’re expecting
• Read a Christmas storybook and announce at the end that you’re going to have a baby
• Make a holiday-themed parody of a popular song (for example, “All I Want for Christmas is You” could be changed to “All I Want for Christmas is Two”)
• Create a virtual gingerbread house and announce that your family is expanding by one
• Think of creative ways to drop hints during a conversation and see if anyone catches on
• Answer the call wearing a shirt that says you’re expecting!
• Exaggerate a bunch of pregnancy-related complaints and ironically state you don’t know what the issue is (see how long it takes them to realize)

If you can’t reveal the news on a live call, you can also try recording a Christmas pregnancy announcement. Here are some more ideas:

• A fun stop-motion video with different Christmas-themed items
• A cute video of your kids singing a Christmas carol with the announcement at the end
• A parody of a popular Christmas movie or song
• A video montage of family and friends wishing you well for the upcoming baby
• A simple but heartwarming video of you and your partner sharing your news
• A fun video of you and your partner opening up presents that reveal the news
• Your Christmas pregnancy announcement doesn’t have to be over-the-top or extravagant- sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best.

Once again, no matter how you choose to announce your pregnancy, the most important thing is that you do it in a way that feels right for you. Whether it’s a simple photo or a festive video, the holidays are the most wonderful time to let your loved ones know that a new baby is on the way!

Gift Ideas for a Christmas Pregnancy Announcement

If you want to get really creative, you can incorporate your Christmas pregnancy announcements into a special gift!

Here are a few fun gift ideas for a Christmas pregnancy announcement:

• Give a onesie as a present with the message “Can’t wait to meet you!”
• Fill a mason jar with candy and attach a note that says “We have some sweet news!”
