One of the most meaningful times in our lives is the day we officially find out we’re growing a little babe in our womb. The flutters, the emotions, and the internal talk run high. Rightfully so!

You have so many things to think about, so let’s take a deep breath and think about how we can officially tell our significant other as well.

Getting them to the same page as us about our newfound surprise can be a lot of fun! The best part about adding a new baby to the household is that we can have all the little details go just the way we’d like it to.

Mom’s new job is to prepare her body, mind, and the family dynamic to accept and love the baby to come. The next best step after finding out your pregnant is to tell the other parent-to-be that he’s pregnant too.

Here’s a list of ideas for you to consider that include funny to witty to the more formal way to let your significant other know he’s got a baby on the way.

Pick a way to tell your significant-other that suits your relationship, and your mood these days to have it feel the most real. And lastly, congratulations on your new baby!

1. Typed Proposal of a New Baby on Board

If you’ve ever been in college for business, you’ve likely had to create a mock proposal at some point in time. Mock proposals serve the purpose of a letter of intent. Such as when you’re requesting support from a business you’d like to partner with.

This is a clever way if your partner is also interested in business and will understand the wit behind this way of introducing you’re pregnant.

You’ll want to type this up and maybe add an adorable little baby graphic to go along with your request.

2. For Sweet-tooths and Candy Lovers

If you’re like any kid that went to public schools, then you probably remember it being Valentine’s day.

The excitement leading up to it, the rosy blushes brought about by the boy giving girls the sweetest stuffed animals, and the girls running away from their crushing boy as soon as they discovered his crush.

Along with these sweet memories of elementary school Valentine’s day, you might remember making a candy bar poster board where you make a message out of certain candy bars.

This takes some creativity but is one of the tastiest ideas on our list. Plus, he gets to eat all those delicious candy bars after using it as your baby announcement to your husband.

Come up with an outline of what you’d like your message to say, and what candy bars you need before you hit the store. Don’t forget to buy a few tasty candies for you to enjoy while putting together this project.

3. Paint Your Pregnant Belly To Reveal

Paint your stomach to reveal that your baby is being loaded in your belly. If your stomach is still flat and you’re newly pregnant, you can write just a “Loading 20% pregnancy.”

Another way is to adjust it as needed to the percentage of pregnancy you are around. Or simply use a marker to write “I’m pregnant, Baby on Board,” or a message that you feel will get through to your partner the best.

4. Teensy Tiny Letter to Husband for Pregnancy Announcement

If you’ve ever made paper dolls, this will throw you into that zone. There’s a teeny-tiny-card in a teeny-tiny-box that makes a big statement about your teeny-tiny-baby. How fun is that.

You can make this yourself if you like to get extra crafty, or it’s available pre-made online by certain suppliers.

5. Caution There’s A Nursery In Progress

When a baby comes along, so does a nursery. You have to get the nursery set up before the baby comes.

And what better time to surprise your husband with a pregnancy announcement than to get his mind wrapped around setting up the nursery too?

Go out and buy some of that bright yellow caution tape, put it over the guest room of your house with it. Then hang a note on the door that says:

“Nursery Under Construction – Opening(insert due date)”

Before your husband comes home from work, set it all up for him to notice. Be sure to grab the camera to get a picture of his face when he finds out he’s going to be a dad!

8. Two Hearts That Beat For You

A classic rhyme amongst the pregnant mother community goes a little something like this:

“Roses are red, violets are blue, inside me – beat two hearts for you!”

Place a vase of flowers on the table for your partner to see when they walk in the door. Or take them out to dinner, handing them a bouquet of flowers with your note.

10. Gameday Surprise Baby

If your partner is a big fan of sports, this is the way for you two. Search online to find attire for your favorite teams, order a few shirts, hats, and other fun team gear. Then write a little note that says:

“Congrats baby, you’re going to be a daddy and soon you’ll have our child to cheer on your favorite team with you!”

Write this in his favorite color and customize it to be special to the individual you’re surprising. They’ll surely appreciate the extra thought behind the little details.

While your significant other is away some time on game day prepare all the supplies to be presented to him before the game. This works even better if you find out your pregnant around the time of super bowl.

If you aren’t pregnant around that time then don’t worry, any game day is just as exciting for your significant other if he’s an avid sports lover.

Plan to have the revealing display be presented during the game! It’ll be even more surprising if your partner discovers the note in a casual spot around the house (like as he’s going back for snacks or on the way to the bathroom).

11. Customized Coffee Mug Announcement

This will be a no brainer if you know your husband enjoys coffee or tea more than anything else in the world. You’ll have options to design a custom mug for your father to be.

12. Cupcake Baby Surprise Announcement

Make a batch of cupcakes (for you both to enjoy later) with one giant black letter on each one. Making up the final message to say:

“Surprise you are going to be a daddy soon!”

Have them ready for him right when he walks in the house. Place a bunch of newborn diapers and pacifiers around it to have him get the message right away.

The best part is that you both get to sit down and enjoy the cupcakes together, all three of you.

13. Message In A Bottle For Your Hubby

“Player 3 has entered the game”
