16 Celebratory New Year’s Pregnancy Announcement Ideas

Counting down to the Year of the Baby? If New Year’s coincides with when you feel comfortable sharing your pregnancy news, a cute, themed announcement will bring post-holiday cheer to all your loved ones. Tell them about Baby New Year the old-fashioned way with a card in the actual mail…or delight friends, family, and followers with a cute pregnancy announcement post online.

The post-holiday slump is real, making the final days of December and first week of January a great time to lift the mood with baby news. So, pop some bottles of a different kind and break out the black and gold. Your NYE pregnancy announcement will bring cheer at the start of the year. Here are some fun ways to announce a baby on the way in the year to come!
