16 hilarious baby announcements

You know what they say: “go big or go home.” This Star Wars-crazed Texas family definitely decided to do the former. Making a movie poster using your favourite movie (either old or upcoming) is an easy way to create a punny pregnancy announcement.

You’re going to have to tell a whole bunch of people, so if you’re going to send some old fashioned cards via snail mail, you might as well get creative.

Like I said: creative. And this card definitely is. It gets right down to the nitty gritty. Ha!

Mama and Papa’s socks are hung out to dry. And wait a minute—a wee pair for wee person. They really couldn’t have chosen a cuter pair of socks.

Look at the beaming smile on her face and the wary grin on his… 

Now, this one is awesome. Do you and your significant other get lost in the World of Warcraft on the regular but are planning to spend more time in the realm of Little Big Planet? This might just be the way to break the big news.

Ha ha ha! We editors have been humming the tune to this song for the past 30 minutes. Ice, ice, baby. Bravo to this couple. Definitely one of our favourites.

(Cue a chorus of ‘awwws’.)

Hey! Who do those itty bitty sandals belong to? They sure don’t belong to mom and dad. The cuteness! We can barely handle it. 

Love… Marriage… What rhymes with marriage? B-b-baby carriage? That’s got to be it. 

This is such a great idea for couples announcing their pregnancy during the holidays. Teeny red and green feet, with Christmas trees to boot! O Holy night indeed…

Oh, don’t mind us while we spend the next 20 minutes ooh-ing and awww-ing. Awww… Awww…

Adorbs! These new parents have literally put a bun in an actual oven. Dad’s even got his oven mitt on to help deliver it. Now that’s what we’d call proactive.

Idioms are great; they never get old.

We blame dogs for all sorts of things; eating homework is just one of them. So when you’re unsure about how to announce your happy news to the world, get your furry pal to do it for you.

Bikinis, Rock Band, PS3—it’s all got to go. You really won’t have time for much else besides burping, diaper changing and baby bouncing for the next year or so anyhow…
