Hey there, readers!
Valentine’s Day is all about hearts and flowers, but what about the little hearts that are about to join your family? If you’re expecting a baby this Valentine’s Day and you have a big sister on the way, we’ve got some adorable baby announcement ideas to make this special day even more memorable.
Picture-Perfect Announcements
The Sibling Snapshot
Capture the excitement of your big sister by having her hold a sign that says “Big Sister” or “Promoted to Big Sister.” Surrounding her with Valentine’s-themed props like confetti, balloons, or a teddy bear will make the announcement even cuter.
The Ultra-Cute Ultrasound
Share the love with a sonogram announcement that highlights both your big sister and the new little bundle. You can use a chalkboard sign to write “Big Sister” or “Valentine’s Baby” next to the ultrasound image.
Sibling Sibling Sibling
If you have older siblings, involve them in the announcement by asking them to hold Valentine’s Day cards for their new baby brother or sister. You can even include a sweet message from each sibling, expressing their excitement for the new addition to the family.
Sweet and Sassy Sayings
“Cupid’s Little Assistant”
For a dash of humor, announce your baby’s arrival with a T-shirt or onesie that says “Cupid’s Little Assistant.” This playful announcement is sure to bring a smile to everyone’s faces.
“Little Heart Stealer”
Another adorable announcement option is to use a chalkboard or sign that says “Little Heart Stealer” or “Love Bug” next to a picture of your big sister. This is a sweet and straightforward way to express the love between your children.
“Big Sister in Training”
For a more practical announcement, consider a onesie or bib that says “Big Sister in Training.” This will give your big sister something special to wear while she gets ready for her new role as the best big sister ever.
