With spring, comes new life of all kinds — flowers, baby animals and, of course, your growing baby bump. If you’re expecting this season and ready to share your big news, there are all kinds of pretty pregnancy announcements with spring themes to choose from.
And there's no shortage of outdoor settings to serve as the perfect backdrops for the occasion either. Think: a bright green field or a flower patch bursting with colorful tulips. After all, spring boasts some pretty amazing weather!
Plus, there are plenty of holiday-inspired props that are fitting for a spring pregnancy announcement — from shamrocks and rainbows for St. Patrick’s Day to bunnies, eggs and carrots for Easter. If the mood strikes, there's ample opportunity to get a little punny, too: “We’re egg-specting somebunny special” is one of our favorites.
If your heart is set on a spring-themed pregnancy announcement to tell your baby news, here are some of the best of the bunch for ideas and inspiration.
Pastel-themed: Spring hues to share the news
Does anything scream “spring!” more than a pastel pregnancy announcement? With a cozy blanket, delicate flowers and the appropriate signage, you can create a seasonal post to tell friends and family that your baby is on the way!
Beach-themed: A sandy celebration
As the temperatures kick up, it’s almost time for beach weather. Springtime calls for outdoor outings and sun-soaked celebrations. You can share your sweet news with your toes in the sand at a local beach.

Another way to send off the surprise? Customizable newspapers are a unique and creative option that couples are using for weddings and pregnancies alike. For a spring twist, you can wrap a bouquet of spring flowers and greenery with a newspaper headline announcing your pregnancy.
Dessert-themed: Vintage-inspired gender reveal
Tell everyone that you’re expecting with a vintage heart cake detailing the due date on the outside. Go for light, spring-inspired colors to really embrace the season. And to add even more personalization into the mix, you can ask the baker to assemble the cake layers with pink- or blue-dye so you can reveal baby’s sex, too!
Spring-themed: Let everyone know what’s blooming
All kinds of flowers are in bloom right now, so what better way to share the news that you’re growing something special too than with a bouquet (or several) in tow? To shout your news from the rooftops, clutch fresh spring flowers and place your hand under your growing belly.
Easter-themed: Somebunny is pregnant!
And it’s you! If you’re sharing your news during the Easter season, this cute crochet set, in a ready-for-spring dusty pink, is perfect for the occasion. Plus it serves as something truly adorable for baby to wear!
Flower-print-themed: A floral ensemble
Style an adorable floral romper in a baby bassinet complete with a wooden rattle and a wooden sign engraved with a flowery design that says “hello world” for a sweet baby announcement. As a bonus, all the props except the rattle (whose beads could be a choking hazard) are keepsakes you and your baby can enjoy later.
Letterboard-themed: Spell it out
Use a neutral-colored letterboard to spell out your news. To bring the spring theme to life, add seasonal touches, like a rainbow and a bunny rattle.

Are you expecting a rainbow baby after a pregnancy loss? Spring is a beautiful time to share the happy news. We love the idea of styling your long-awaited positive pregnancy test with a rainbow onesie and prop.
Baby-animal-themed: Your little one's future Lamby
There are all kinds of fun creatures to tap for your spring-inspired baby announcement. Why not do some shopping? Buy your baby a lovey inspired by the season — go with a classic like a lamb, a duck or a bunny — and then use the stuffed animal as a prop in a styled shoot to announce your pregnancy.
Flower-themed: A blooming backdrop
Is there anything more over-the-top (and wonderful) about a fully floral backdrop? Commission a florist to create your very own, then pose in front of it while cradling your baby bump.
Nature-themed: Use a rolling meadow as your setting
The grass is green, and there are more than flowers budding. Bring your older children to a local park and use that gorgeous field as your backdrop. We love the idea of using balloons and a little stuffed animal bunny to get the full message across.
Easter-themed: Egg-specting someone special
Hip, hip, hooray — there’s a baby on the way. And Easter is a great time to share your news with a punny onesie or letterboard message styled with colorful eggs, carrots and other holiday-inspired props.
Bee-themed: You’re a Mom-to-bee
Are you buzzing with excitement about your news? There couldn’t possibly "bee" a cuter way to announce than with a token — a wall hanging, perhaps? — inspired by honey bees.
Pet-themed: Your "baby" is going to be a big sib
Get your fur baby to wear or pose with a "big sister" or "big brother" spring-themed bandana like this one and let your pet be prominently featured in announcing that a new arrival is on the way.
