When better to announce that you’re expecting than Halloween! With a slight chill in the air, a fall color scheme and so many fun or spooky ideas to use, there really are some exciting and playful ways to share the news with your nearest and dearest.
Ready to share the news and not sure how to do it? I’ve rounded up over 20 ideas to share the news for Halloween which are cute, and a little bit spooky!
23 Spook-tacular Halloween Baby Announcement Ideas!
1.A Little Boo Is On The Way!
The ‘a little boo is on the way’ sentiment is one that’s super cute, a great idea for baby showers if you’re throwing one during fall and halloween too.
Take a look at the below flatlay, using a letter board and plenty of pumpkins and seasonal pieces to share the news online.
2. Pumpkin Patch Is Growing!
Sharing the news the traditional way in the post? This pumpkin themed card with the words ‘a new little pumpkin is joining our patch’ is ridiculously cute!
Get it personalised to include the names and dates of the impending arrival.
3. Baby Pumpkin Arriving
On the theme of pumpkins, use a letter board and carve a heart out of a pumpkin, adding a mini munchkin pumpkin inside along with a candle to create a gentle glow.
Snap a shot of it to share on social media and with your friends and family.
4. Pumpkin Steps!
Pumpkins are synonymous with Halloween and they play the perfect role in sharing the news in a fun way.
Grab a set of pumpkins, drawing cute faces on them and add hats and scarves for Mom and Dad. For baby add a baby hat and a pacifier along with a bump scan to share your special news. Adding them to a set of steps is a great way to get a similar photo.
5. The Families Growing
Nothing is cuter than getting pets involved in baby announcements, they’re a special part of the family and the first babies!
I love the use of pumpkins here too, adding the birth year of the parents on each one and the date for the arrival year of the little one.
6. No Tricks Here!
Play on the trick or treat sentiment and use a blackboard to add a similar message such as ‘we promise it’s not a trick, we’re expecting a little treat!’ – add your baby scan photo and the arrival date of your baby.
7. Ice, Ice, Baby!
Looking for a slightly different halloween costume this year? Try to say this one without singing it at the same time!
Get empty ice bags and stuff with wadding or cotton wool to give the appearance of ice, and don’t forget to bring a baby doll and get people to guess! Such a fun way to announce the news.
8. Pumpkin Shot
I love this up close baby announcement shot, it’s intimate and screams Halloween!
With halloween inspired t-shirts on mom and dad, hold a pumpkin together in each of your hands. Add the baby scan to the front or add the arrival date for a gorgeous photo that you’ll remember for years to come.
9. Something Is Brewing
Get the whole crew involved for something a little bit spooky! This is one for outdoors and show your loved ones that something exciting is brewing.
Dress up the family in skeleton onesies (note moms with the baby skeleton!), and use a cauldron pot and add some powder smoke (great way to reveal the gender during Halloween too).
10. It’s A Mummy!
There are so many Halloween costume ideas to choose from, yet this might be one of my favourites!
Dress up as mummies and reveal the bump subtly, like in the below photo.
11. Creative Pumpkin Carving
Feeling crafty? The below pumpkin carving idea is a genius way for sharing the news.
Add a tea light to the pumpkin to create that gorgeous glow.
12. A Little Treat Is On The Way
Another alternative way to announce the news with ‘we promise it’s not a trick!’.
Add a set of pumpkins, adding extras for the little ones already in your family. In the Mommy pumpkin, carve a heart shaped hole, adding a little munchkin pumpkin inside.
13. I Smell A Child
Grew up watching Hocus Pocus every year? Take inspiration from the below for your baby announcement news!
The, ‘Winnie, I smell a child’ is an iconic line from this movie and such a fun way to let friends and family in on your special news.
14. A Little Boo Is Due
Halloween announcements absolutely don’t have to be spooky! Lean into the ‘a little boo is due’ trend, having a chocolate smash with matching strawberries. This would be lovely if you plan on announcing the gender at the same time.
15. Halloween Family Costumes
Get in on the Halloween action by dressing up like the Addam’s family this year!
Create a similar family shot outside with pumpkins and a little letter board sharing the news that another little boo is on the way.
16. Spell It Out!
Go back to basics and literally spell out the special news with plenty of pumpkins!
Carve a letter out of each pumpkin and arrange for a special baby announcement – note that this is great for announcing the actual arrival during Halloween too.
17. Tick!
Get your little one involved with announcing the news – how adorable is this blackboard setup?
Snap your little one next to the blackboard with a pumpkin in hand for the cutest memory.
18. A Pumpkin Fuelled Snap
Sometimes the simplest ways of sharing the news are the sweetest, and it doesn’t have to cost a ton of money!
Position some pumpkins and baby scan next to some flowers or a vase of faux stems, writing the news onto one of the pumpkins with a permanent marker pen.
19. A Baby Is Brewing
The classic ‘a baby is brewing’ sentiment is one of the best to use during Halloween, it’s the only time it feels relevant to the time of year!
20. Halloween Cookies
If you have loved ones far and wide, why not share the news by sending them a box of Halloween cookies!
Add the special news to the cookies – plus, they’re perfect for snapping and sharing on social media too.
21. It’s A Ghoul
Or how about these ‘it’s a ghoul’ cookie ideas! This would be perfect for a Halloween gender reveal too, just the cutest.
22. Pumpkin Patch Fun
Pumpkin patches are one of the most fun parts of Halloween, and getting a picture in the middle of the patch is a special one.
With an array of pumpkins in the background which are telling of the season, hold a pumpkin in hand to share the news, whether it’s one that has been carved already or written on.
23. Little Feet Incoming
It doesn’t get much more simple or effective than this. At a pumpkin patch in a sea of pumpkins, just add a little set of baby shoes. The cutest reveal, and one that’s sometimes easier to say instead of words!
