Ideas for a Valentine’s Day Pregnancy Announcement to Husband

Depending on your man’s personality, a Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement to your husband could be the best V-day gift he ever gets. If you’ve just found out you’re pregnant, you’re probably DYING to tell your husband! But the occasion should be absolutely perfect.

Whether it’s your first, second, or third baby (or more!), he’ll always remember the day you told him you were pregnant. Have some fun with a Valentine’s baby announcement! It’s the perfect holiday to tell your husband before anyone else, because it’s an intimate holiday meant for just the two of you.

Funny Pregnancy Announcements

If you’re looking for a hilarious pregnancy announcement to your husband, look no further. Even if he’s not laughing, YOU will be!

A Box of Chocolates… with a Few Missing

If your husband has a sweet tooth, a box of partially-eaten chocolates is the perfect prop for a Valentine’s Day pregnancy reveal. Just be sure to write a note on the inside of the top of the box: “Sorry I ate some, but the baby made me do it!”

Congratulations!

Snag a “congrats” balloon from your local dollar store, and hand it to him along with a funny greeting card. This particular greeting isn’t normally given on Valentine’s Day, so it should definitely pique his curiosity before he gets to read the card!

Singing Telegram Pregnancy Announcement

Yes, singing telegrams still exist – and they’re still incredibly embarrassing when delivered to the workplace. But when your telegram song is “Haven’t Met You Yet” by Michael Buble, your disbelieving hubby might need some help from his coworkers to confirm the message!

Let the Dog Tell Him

If your pupper likes to run and greet Daddy first when he walks in the door or loves to lie in his lap watching TV, just swap your dog’s collar before your husband gets home. You can get a “big sister” or “big brother” scarf here.

Hiding in Plain Sight

Where’s the one place your husband is most likely to look after he gets home? The fridge, of course! Check out the video above of a desperately thirsty man completely overlooking the positive pregnancy test inside of a baby bottle. He’ll remember it every time he opens the fridge.

When It’s Not Your First Baby

What if you and your husband will be spending Valentine’s Day with your first child? Give your kiddo a book about becoming a sibling, like You’re the Biggest. If your firstborn can already read, you’ll have to spill the beans and swear them to secrecy until Daddy notices them reading it in the family room!

If they can’t read yet, you can just let them play around with the book to see if your husband notices – or hand it to him to read at bedtime!

Designate the Nursery

If you’ve already got a spare bedroom in the house that you’re planning on using for the baby’s nursery, now’s the time to claim it! This is especially hilarious if it’s currently your husband’s hobby room.

Collect as many sheets as you can and cover all the furniture in the room with them. Get a bassinet, bouncer, or pack-and-play (whatever you can get your hands on) and place it conspicuously in the middle of the room. Mark the door off with caution tape and put up an “Under Construction” sign. When your husband gets home, he’ll be barging into his big surprise in no time!

DIY Pregnancy Announcements

There are TONS of creative ways to announce a pregnancy to your husband on Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re on a budget or just want to give it a personal touch, I’ve got lots of DIY pregnancy reveal ideas for your husband.

Get Help with the Phrasing

Get crafty and design a cute message for your husband using conversation hearts. A little super glue to the back of each heart ought to do it!

Homemade Gift Box

Get a pair of baby shoes (just like Daddy’s, if you can find them) to put in a shoebox, and hold them in place with some double-sided tape. You can fill the box with tissue paper or other baby items. Write your announcement on the lid and tape the positive pregnancy test to it as well. Super-creative and extremely adorable!

Casually Scroll Through Your Photos

Put your firstborn in a t-shirt (or have them hold a sign) that says “Big brother/sister” and take a picture of it with your phone. Sit down on the couch with your husband and casually scroll through some photos (including the big reveal). If he’s paying attention, he’ll be shouting for you to “GO BACK!”

Draw it in the Sand

If you’re lucky enough to live somewhere that Valentine’s Day can be spent on the beach, this is a simple but awesome pregnancy reveal idea! Take your honey out to the water, then leave him treading water while you write a message in the sand.

Surprise Him at Sexy Time

Let’s be real – most people are expecting (or at least hoping for) some sexy time on Valentine’s Day. In preparation for your clothes coming off, paint your pregnancy announcement on your stomach with some quality body paint and wait for him to start exploring!

Cook for Him

This is a classic that never gets old! Put the message on a homemade pizza, using pepperoni (or black olives, or whatever his favorite topping is) to spell it out for him.

After a Long Day of Work

If he’s too tired to go out and wants to come straight home from work, greet him with an announcement he won’t forget. Make a sign to hang on the front door!

Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him

If you’re not the creative type, the best Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement for your husband may just be his gift. From custom items to cupcakes and other treats, I’ve put together some really unique pregnancy announcement gift ideas below.

The Classic Onesie

Sure, the onesie has been done a billion times – but that doesn’t make it any less effective. There’s just something about holding that tiny piece of clothing in your hands that brings a flood of emotions to an expecting dad, and it happens all over again when he sees his baby wearing it for the first time.

Cookie Conversation

If you’ve got a local bakery or sweets shop that does custom creations, they will be thrilled to help you announce your pregnancy! You can get a series of one-letter cookies that spell out “I AM PREGNANT,” or go for a straight-forward reveal by having the cookies iced with words like “baby,” “mommy,” and “daddy.”

Crack a (Real) Fancy Egg

These Etsy eggs are absolutely amazing. In fact, they are so well done that a lot of people don’t want to crack them open – so you might want to order a second as a keepsake! They empty a real egg, put your special message inside, reseal it and paint it to be a beautiful, delicate gift.

A Sweet Box of Chocolates

Unlike the idea above where you just crack open a box of chocolates and eat some for yourself, these customized candies are all meant for your husband – because each one spells out exactly what’s to come.

Help Him Have a Sympathy Pregnancy

My husband is a great lover of donuts. If yours is too, give him a box of donuts with “Eat up Daddy, Mommy can’t be the only one with a belly!” written inside the lid. He might try his best to keep up with you!

He’ll Be Puzzled by This Gift

Put your husband’s brain to work with this custom puzzle gift from Etsy. If he immediately takes it back apart, you guys might need to have a long conversation…

Serve Some Hot Soup on a Cold Valentine’s Day

Here in Kentucky, February is usually a pretty cold month. Cook him up a pot of his favorite soup and stick this special spoon inside. It shouldn’t take him long to give it a second look!

Announce Your Pregnancy with a Book

Even if your husband isn’t much of a reader, he’s bound to be excited when he sees the cover of this one! And maybe a little bit scared… but if he actually reads the book, it should help ease his fears.

Give a Tasty, Shareable Treat

The beauty of giving cupcakes as a gift is that he’s going to need your help to eat them all! Fill a box with frosted cupcakes that make the message loud and clear.

Pour Him a Cup of Coffee in a New Mug

Say “Happy Valentine’s Day!” as you hand him a nice, hot cup of his favorite roast in a brand-new mug – and wait patiently for him to get to the bottom.

Serve Him on a Special Plate

On Valentine’s Day, restaurants are always PACKED. Skip the crowds and offer to fix your hubby a home-cooked meal instead – and serve it on this custom dinner plate. He might be suspicious, but he still has to finish his meal to get to the reveal!

Go Old School with Conversation Hearts

Do they taste good? No. Are they nice and chewy? Never. But they’ve always come in handy for telling our crush how we feel about them, and now they can tell your husband you’re pregnant!

If you can’t find a heart that says “I’m pregnant,” no worries – just use a food-safe marker to spell it out on the back of a bunch of hearts, and put them on top of the candy bowl. He can’t miss it!

Greeting Cards

A greeting card isn’t out of the ordinary to hand your husband on Valentine’s Day, but the message inside will be an extra-big surprise!

The Sweet, Loving Surprise

If you’re going for something cutesy, try this classic “roses are red” poem card! It just might bring a tear to his eye.

Remind Him How Sexy Dads Can Be

For the couple that enjoys inappropriate humor, give him this DILF card – it’ll get the intended message across while reassuring him your sex life is not about to die.

Love is a Mathematic Equation

Nerdy + cute = this simple little greeting card your husband will love.

Valentine’s Pregnancy Announcement Shirts

A Valentine’s pregnancy shirt is a great way to announce a pregnancy to your husband. If you live somewhere where February is cold, you can have your coat on over the shirt until you get to your Valentine’s Day date destination. Then you can watch him flip out in public!

Coming Soon

If you’re going out to a movie on Valentine’s Day, throw on this “Coming Soon” shirt from Etsy. Your husband won’t even be paying attention to the feature film!

Let Him Know it’s Not a Food Baby

If the words aren’t a big enough clue, the baby footprints in a heart right over your lower stomach should clue him in on this shirt that comes in several colors!

By the Way, I’m Pregnant

As long as he reads the fine print, the message on this shirt is pretty blunt.

Printable Valentine’s Day Pregnancy Announcements

Looking to toe the line between a DIY and a done-for-you Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement? Try a printable product you can assemble at home!

Send Him on a Scavenger Hunt

Who doesn’t love a good mystery? Whether it’s around town or just around the house, send him on a hunt that leads him to the positive pregnancy test!

For the Big Brother- or Sister-to-Be

Fill in your due date on this “Only Child Expiring” sign from Etsy, print and frame it, then get a hilarious photo of your older child with it. Have THAT photo printed through Mpix (my fave printer) and put it in the same frame for your husband!
