There’s nothing quite like the moment you get to share your big news: baby on the way! Whether it’s your first time breaking the news or you’re adding another member to your growing crew, announcing your pregnancy is a memory you’ll treasure forever. And with the right outfit or prop, you can turn that special moment into a picture-perfect keepsake.


From flat lays to family photos, here are our favorite pregnancy announcement ideas that are equal parts heartwarming and Instagram-worthy — featuring Caden Lane favorites to make your reveal truly unforgettable.

The Classic Flat Lay Reveal

Sometimes the sweetest way to share the news is with a beautifully styled flat lay that does all the talking. A personalized wood "Baby Coming Soon" sign sets the tone, surrounded by soft and sentimental details: an ultrasound photo, tiny baby booties, and a cozy knotted gown or swaddle.


Why we love it: It’s simple, sweet, and easy to share via text, email, or your favorite social platform. The clean, styled look of a flat lay makes it ideal for Instagram-worthy photos that capture all the excitement of your big reveal. Plus, it becomes a meaningful keepsake you can tuck into your baby book or frame as part of your nursery decor.

Picks for Your Perfect Photo Moment

Star of the Show Outfit

Want a reveal that feels extra special? Announce your little one’s name or due date with a personalized knotted gown and hat set. It’s a stylish way to introduce baby’s identity and makes for a precious photo moment that friends and family will adore.


Why we love it: These soft, cozy pieces double as sentimental keepsakes and are perfect for so many meaningful moments. Tuck one into your hospital bag for that magical first outfit, use it to capture your newborn’s first photos in the delivery room or at home, or frame it alongside your baby's birth stats in a nursery shadow box. Personalized details like names, initials, or due dates make these items not just cute but truly unforgettable.

Best Pieces for Your Pregnancy Reveal & Baby's Debut

"New Sibling" Announcement

Already have a little one in the family? Let them help spill the beans in the cutest way possible. Dress them in our best-selling Big Brother or Big Sister pajamas or personalized graphic tees and capture the moment as they proudly pose with a big brother or big sister wood sign.


Why we love it: It gives your older child a starring role and makes the announcement feel even more personal and exciting. It’s a meaningful way to make them feel included and proud, and can even help ease the transition into becoming a big sibling. Dress them in coordinating styles to match the theme of your announcement, or go bold with playful props that highlight their new 'Big Brother' or 'Big Sister' title. Bonus points for matching outfits or coordinating colors that tie the whole look together and create a cohesive, camera-ready moment you’ll cherish forever!
