Looking for baby announcement ideas for social media that feel like you? Tiny sneakers, matching caps and a simple ultrasound photo give you plenty to work with.
These ideas include pregnancy reveals plus a sweet little hand photo for sharing the news after baby arrives.
You can keep things simple or go all out with flowers and seasonal props. Pick a favorite detail, then make it your own.
Before posting ultrasound pictures, crop or cover any personal medical information.
Sweet ways to share your baby news
hands and an ultrasound
We’re starting off with this sweet black-and-white photo. Two hands rest together beneath an ultrasound print, with a plain light background keeping everything simple.
If you don’t want to pose for a full portrait, try this close-up instead. You don’t need any extra props.
tiny high-top sneakers
How cute are these little sneakers? The black-and-white high-tops sit over overlapping ultrasound prints.
I love that the tiny shoes get the close-up here.
Try the same arrangement with a pair of baby shoes you’ve picked out. Leave some of the scans showing around the edges.
mom and dad caps
I am obsessed with this photo. The matching “MOM” and “DAD” caps are adorable, but that little dog looking back at the camera might be my favorite part.
The couple faces away while an ultrasound strip hangs down the white shirt. Try this pose if you want to include your dog in the news.
a cheeky letter board
Want your announcement to have a little humor? This board says, “You can stop asking when we’re having a baby now.”
That definitely gets the message across, haha!
A white bodysuit, tan baby shoes and an ultrasound strip surround the board. Keep your own wording in the middle so the little props don’t cover it.
another pumpkin in the patch
The little pumpkin inside the heart-shaped opening is so cute! Larger pumpkins carry the “Daddy” and “Mommy” labels, with smaller named pumpkins beside them.
Use the “We’re adding a pumpkin to our patch!” sign as inspiration for a fall reveal. Add your own expected arrival details rather than copying the date shown here.
big sister gets the spotlight
This is such a sweet way to include an older sibling. The “Big Sis” top, sister-themed book and long ultrasound strip all share the news together.
I love that she’s looking toward the pictures rather than straight at the camera. Let your child hold a favorite announcement prop for a similar photo.
mom and dad in the sand
Don’t want to bring lots of decorations to the beach? No problem!
This photo pairs “MOM + DAD” written in the sand with a single ultrasound print.
The cream dress and beige pants keep the colors simple. Take your photo from above if you want both the writing and your seated pose in the frame.
a little loaf is rising
The baking fans are going to love this! A round loaf sits beside tiny white booties and an ultrasound picture, with “A little loaf is rising” on the board behind them.
The rolling pin and dusting of flour finish the scene. For your own version, swap in your family name and expected arrival month.
an ultrasound ornament
I love this clear ornament displaying an ultrasound image. The red hanging ribbon and little golden lights make it such a pretty Christmas announcement.
Keep the photo close to the ornament if you try this idea. There’s no need to show the whole tree.
little clothes on the line
If you’re looking for something simple without a letter board, this one is for you. Yellow and white baby bodysuits hang from a line with sunlight coming through behind them.
The tiny prints and stripes are so sweet together. You could put your announcement wording in the caption and leave the picture just like this.
pink and blue silhouettes
Prefer a graphic instead of a personal photo? This pink-and-blue design has two child silhouettes beneath a bunch of pale balloons.
It doesn’t include an announcement message yet. You could add “Baby on the way” to your own version, or use it as a background for a short announcement Story.
mom and dad drink cups
How cute is this tabletop idea? Two iced drinks have “MOM” and “DAD” written on the cups, with an ultrasound strip laid out underneath.
The red straws add a little color without lots of decoration. Try labeling your own cups and taking the picture from above.
a tiny team fan
This one is for the football fans! The couple wears teal tops while holding up a matching Miami Dolphins baby bodysuit.
That tiny number-one outfit is adorable.
Pick your own team’s baby outfit for a similar announcement. A plain wall like this lets the matching colors do the work.
baby is coming
Don’t want to come up with a clever phrase? No problem there! “BABY IS COMING” says everything this little arrangement needs.
A tan bunny sits beside the ultrasound, with a pregnancy test below it. I especially love the bunny’s long ears against the simple white board.
orange and wildflowers
This floral arrangement may just be one of my favorites. The orange baby outfit sits inside a round basket with cream booties, a little bouquet and an ultrasound print.
I love how the orange bow matches the outfit. Keep that matching detail if you put together your own flower-filled announcement.
rainbows by the window
These little colorful flowers are so pretty around the ultrasound pictures. There’s a rainbow decoration behind them, plus a band of rainbow-colored light across the window.
If you want lots of color without a large backdrop, try a similar small arrangement by a window. Leave the scans visible between the flowers.
a cream announcement card
Start your “baby announcing ideas social media” inspiration folder with this if you love simple cream colors. The ultrasound sits above a script name and arrival month, with a large bow beside the card.
The little white flowers are a lovely extra touch. I’d keep the wording short to follow this design.
a teddy bear easter basket
How adorable is this little basket? A brown teddy bear sits behind white baby shoes and an announcement card, with pastel eggs scattered around the outside.

Pink, white and blue flowers finish the spring scene. Try this arrangement on a plain light blanket if you want the eggs and basket to stand out.
three hands and birth years
For a baby announcing social media post after the birth, this little hand portrait is such a sweet option. A baby’s hand rests against two adult palms, with a year written over each.
Use your own family’s birth years if you want to follow the idea. The close crop lets you share a tiny detail without showing your baby’s face.
a beach shadow portrait
Last but definitely not least, we have this lovely shadow photo on the sand. The two silhouettes lean together, with the bump visible in profile.
