Talk About True Love! 17 Swoon-Worthy Valentine's Day Baby Announcement Ideas
Don’t you just love Valentine’s Day? It’s like Halloween for hopeless romantics. If you’re one of those romantics who just so happened to find out recently that you’re expecting, Feb. 14 probably seems like the perfect occasion to share your heartwarming news with the world. Honestly, some people love Valentine’s Day so much that a Valentine’s Day baby announcement sounds like a good idea even months after the actual holiday (this works out exceptionally well if you’re pretty sure you conceived on Valentine’s Day).
No matter when you decide to send yours out — or post it on Instagram with a cute baby caption — you’re going to need some clever, adorable Valentine’s Day baby announcement ideas for your love-themed surprise. Whether your precious cherub was created on V-Day, will be born on V-Day, or you just really want to break the news on V-Day, you’ll find plenty of inspiration here.
Valentine’s Day Baby Announcements “Recipe”
As you’ll see below, a Valentine’s Day announcement can be as vague or as on-the-nose as you prefer. Some parents-to-be go all out with poems and candy hearts. Others prefer to just stay in the pink and red color palettes. Really, there are no wrong answers. To create your own Valentine’s Day baby announcement, though, you’ll want to capitalize on one, two, or more of these key “ingredients.”
You’ll need a dash of…
- Red
- Pink
- Hearts
- Chocolates
- Conversation hearts
- Heart-shaped balloons
- Love poems
Plus a sprinkle of…
- Sonogram
- Onesie
- Booties
- “Big Brother”/”Big Sister” merch
- Baby bump
Pick a little dash and a sprinkle and combine until you find the right combination for you. “Heart hands” around belly buttons? Always a hit. Another popular idea is any message you can write in conversation hearts, from “Expecting Something Sweet” to “V-Day Baby on the Way.” You can’t go wrong. You’re having a baby! Nothing else matters.

11. Conversation Hearts With Just the Deets
This is Valentine’s Day baby announcement is definitely more V-Day themed than baby-themed, but it’s adorable all the same. Just, ya know, don’t eat the hearts after you write on them (unless you write with edible ink).
12. Special Delivery
These parents get major points for thinking just outside the box. Or inside the box? Whatever, they included a super cute Valentine’s mailbox and the originality is on point.
13. First Valentine Poem
This is so fun and so easy to pull off, y’all. The hardest part will really be the letterboard, but if you have better penmanship, you could easily replace it with a chalkboard. We also love that the “confetti” is both rose petals and diaper pins.
14. Bringing in Big Sib
A new baby can make a big sibling feel left out or jealous, but including them in the announcement can help get them pumped up about their future BFF.
15. Cute and Custom
If you have the time to plan ahead, custom engraving and monogramming can add that much more impact to your announcement. And, of course, a bouquet of flowers never hurt either!
16. Wearing Your Heart on Your Sleeve(s)
Taking a snapshot of you and your partner wearing funny Valentine-themed announcement shirts or sweaters could very well be the coziest way to share your news with the world.
17. The Epitome of Sweet
What’s sweeter than sharing your news with actual sweets? A fresh batch of beautiful custom cookies can clue everyone into the date your little bundle of love will join the fam.
