Looking for a fun and unique way to share exciting news with your husband? If you’re expecting and are looking for ideas on how to tell your SO, you need to see this list of creative ways to tell your husband you’re pregnant!
Whether you’re expecting your first, second, or third child – congratulations! It’s such exciting news, and while it may be hard to keep it to yourself, sometimes you want to make that announcement to your SO in a special way.
If you’re looking for unique and fun ways to tell your partner that you’re pregnant, we’ve got some ideas to share! Below are some of our favorite ways to announce this amazing news. So don’t wait – scroll down to get inspired and start planning what is sure to be a fantastic and memorable moment!
o1. Pop For The Surprise!
Inside this balloon is a special surprise – a teeny tiny onesie with the words “a baby is on the way“!
For this idea, you can have a balloon surprise like this one specially made so that when your SO comes home from work, you can have this waiting for them. The inner balloon pops and reveals the onesie with the exciting message and shimmering ribbons for fun flair!
o2. An Unexpected Gift
This next idea is similar to the one above, but instead of a balloon, you create a surprise gift box for your partner. And if you want to throw them off, you can even pretend it’s a late birthday or Christmas present (if the timeline fits).
Fill the box with any baby items – a onesie, baby shoes, a rattle and stuffed animal, etc. – then place the positive pregnancy right on top.
We love this as a sweet way to tell your husband he’s going to be a father – it can easily be personalized, and you get to watch him open the gift and see that initial reaction to such big news!
o3. Concert Confessions
Concerts tend to be a night full of memories as is – but you can take it up a notch by sharing some incredible news during the show!
This woman had a sweet idea to tell her husband that she was pregnant during a concert. As they sang and swayed to the music, she showed him a positive pregnancy test. What a perfect way to turn a fun night into one he will never forget!
o4. Baby Shoes in Daddy’s Shoes
This Mama-to-be surprised her SO with the news by putting a tiny pair of baby shoes inside her husband’s shoes – and yes, they were matching! As if it wasn’t cute enough already.
As her husband goes to put on his shoes, he realizes something is inside and pulls out the baby shoes. Once he has them in hand, the woman places the positive pregnancy test inside one shoe as they celebrate the amazing news together!
o5. Baby’s First Onesie
This idea is simple but so wholesome and special!
In this video, a onesie saying “Hello Daddy, I can’t wait to meet you” is left on the table next to pregnancy tests. As the husband walks up, he reads the onesie, and the excitement begins!
We love how sweet this moment is between the soon-to-be parents, and it’s an excellent way to share the news in an intimate setting.
o6. The Fake Spider
The next idea on this list is so fun but just as adorable as the rest!
For this announcement, you’ll need some classic baby items – a onesie, shoes, etc. – and your positive pregnancy test. Place these items carefully under a bowl on a flat surface and act panicked as you call your husband over, telling him you have a spider trapped underneath. Once the bowl is lifted, he’ll see a bundle of baby items instead.
We love how the husband here went from confusion to utter joy as he realized he has a baby on the way!
o7. Hidden Treat
For this pregnancy announcement idea, you’ll need to place a positive pregnancy test on top of your favorite treats. Ask your husband to get one for you and watch as he finds the test right on top!
o8. Guess The Item
This one involves a fun TikTok challenge! This woman told her husband that they were doing this challenge for social media, a game which involved each taking turns handing the other one an item and, with closed eyes, the person holding the item has to guess what it is!
During his turn to guess, the Mama put a baby onesie in his hand. We love that one of the baby’s first outfits can be part of this moment, but you can hand him the pregnancy test, a pacifier, a rattle, or even a diaper!
o9. Running After Baby
Our next idea is a must if your husband is a runner!
While cheering her husband on from the sidelines as he runs a 5K, this woman has a double-sided sign with a secret message on the back. The front says “Run Dada Run“, a simple and sweet encouragement from her and their first child. But as he finishes the race, she flips the sign over, letting him know that he’ll soon be running after another little one!
10. Hidden Babies
Maybe you and your husband love to prank each other? Or perhaps you want a funny story to tell others. Maybe you’re just looking for a really unique way to announce your pregnancy? If any of these sound like you, I think the idea above might be the winning one!
This expecting mother hid tiny plastic babies around her home, telling her husband he had to find all of them. Later, she has to break the bad news – there’s a hidden baby he hasn’t found because she has it. Pulling out a positive pregnancy test, she surprises him with the wonderful news!
You can easily find a pack of these babies online if you want to recreate this. Make sure to hide the little babes in all the silliest places you can think of.
11. Good News Served on a Silver Platter
This one takes some planning ahead! Out to dinner, this woman sat across from her husband as two restaurant workers brought out covered plates. As her husband lifts the lid on his plate, he finds a pregnancy test and a message that reads “You’re gonna be a Daddy“.
We can’t get over how cute this is – and it’s an excellent choice if you really want to catch your husband off guard and truly surprise him! If you don’t want to share the news in public, you can easily recreate this one at home.
12. A Little Cookie Is Baking
Stop at a local bakery or the nearest Crumbl to grab a pack of fresh-baked cookies! Then write on the inside of the lid “We have a lil’ cookie baking.” This Mama also taped her positive test next to the message.
As your SO goes to get a cookie, he’ll find the real treat inside!
13. Guess What I’m Saying
While this couple used this method to announce the pregnancy to soon-to-be grandparents, you can use the same idea on your husband. Give him a pair of noise-canceling headphones and have him try to guess what you’re saying just by reading your lips.
Start with easy and silly sentences, then drop the news and see how long it takes him to get it!
14. Balloon Drop Surprise
This woman used soft pink and baby blue balloons for this announcement!
She tapes a large piece of paper to the ceiling with a string looped through it and filled with balloons. As her husband enters the house, she pulls the string on both ends, causing the paper to rip and the balloons to cascade down as she yells out that they’re having a baby!
15. Help From The Big Brother
This pregnancy announcement idea is perfect if you already have a little one.
This Mama had her son wear a shirt that reads Big Brother and told him to hand his father a surprise. As the little boy hands something to his dad, the husband realizes it’s a positive pregnancy test and celebrates with his wife!
16. Bun In The Oven
This Mama plans a surprise to let her husband know that there’s a bun in the oven!
Using a simple baking sheet, place a bun or loaf next to a positive pregnancy test and place the sheet into the oven. As your husband goes to “check on dinner,” you can watch his face fill with surprise and joy as he learns he has a baby on the way!
17. Tiny Christmas Stocking
Christmas is one of the most magical times of the year. The only thing that can make it more magical – finding out that you’re pregnant!
As you set up the tree and stockings, hang a new, tiny stocking next to yours and your husband’s. It’s such an adorable way to tell your husband that he’s going to be a father. Plus, it’s really the best Christmas present you could give him!
Final Thoughts
Sharing the news that you’re adding a new member to the family is a moment you’ll want to remember and cherish forever! No matter which idea you choose, it will be a special moment that you and your husband will never forget.
