Pregnancy Announcement Etiquette Tips
Tell close family first
Before posting on social media, give parents, grandparents, and closest friends the news personally. They will appreciate being told directly rather than finding out with everyone else.
Be mindful of others
Some people in your circle may be struggling with infertility or loss. While you should absolutely celebrate your news, be sensitive when sharing with those who may have a complicated reaction.
Keep it true to you
Funny couple? Be funny. Sentimental couple? Be sentimental. The best announcements sound like they came from you, not a template.
Include a photo if you can
A photo -- ultrasound, baby shoes, a creative prop -- makes the announcement more memorable and shareable. It does not need to be professionally shot.
