Something to note: Remember that the way that you feel and the way that he feels may be two different emotions.
If he is not expecting this pregnancy, you may want to be gentle with your approach, as he may need a few extra moments to digest and wrap his head around it all before the excitement sets in. Keeping this in mind, try to keep your expectations reasonable so that your heart is not broken by his immediate response!
That being said, it’s time to plan the perfect Christmas pregnancy announcement for him! Read on to figure out how to tell your husband you’re pregnant!
Christmas Pregnancy Announcement Ideas for Telling Your Partner
Christmas Pregnancy Announcement via One Last Ornament
On Christmas Eve, suddenly remember that you found the perfect ornament for the tree and hand him the box to open.
Ask him to open it because he’ll love it just as much as you do.
The ornament can be anything pregnancy, baby, or family related. It can be a small rocking horse, an airplane, or a glass pair of baby booties.
You may want to have the ornament personalized with something simple such as, “Baby’s First Ornament.”
A Christmas Pregnancy Announcement Gift with No Explanation Needed
- A large box filled with congratulations and baby balloons is sure to get the message across loud and clear!
- A sonogram picture, positive pregnancy test, onesie, a pack of diapers, or another undeniable baby item.
- A shirt, mug, or other items that says “I’m going to be a dad!”
A Christmas Pregnancy Announcement Gift He has to Figure Out
- Matching shirts: a gender-neutral, plain t-shirt in both adult and newborn sizes may have him scratching his head.
- A 2018 calendar with family birthdays and events already filled in; of course, you’ll have a heart around your estimated due date. You can even count up to the due date by writing ‘5 weeks – poppy seed,’ ‘8 weeks – grape,’ which will leave him highly confused for a few minutes.
- Something that needs translating. You can find a card in another language, have a shirt printed, or even have a coffee mug printed on, but the words need to be something he cannot read without googling. A simple phrase like “I’m going to be a dad.” Or “My baby is going to be the coolest baby.” You want to make sure he gets a kick out of the entire process.
A Christmas Pregnancy Announcement Experience Gift
- Stuff his stocking with ultrasound cards that says he’s been registered for childbirth classes.
- Give him the gift of a weekend away: camping, golfing, whatever, but add in a note that says, “Gift redeemable only BEFORE August 2018, after this date, you’ll be too busy changing diapers to get away!”
A Christmas Pregnancy Announcement Gift from the Baby
- Label all of his gifts ‘To: Dad’
- Choose one gift that is related to his hobby and add a note that asks him to brush up on his skills because he’s going to have someone to teach pretty soon.
A Christmas Pregnancy Announcement Gift for the Baby
- Leave one last gift under the tree with a name tag that reads ‘BABY’
- Purchase a beautiful Moses Basket and tie a big red bow through the handles with a large tag that reads, “Your real gift will arrive this summer. Love, Santa”
- Wrap a beautiful baby blanket with a note that says, “Mommy will keep you warm until you arrive.”
- Wrap an item from each of your childhoods and include a letter from you with a blank page and a pen for him to address.
A Christmas Pregnancy Announcement ‘Elephant in the Room’
- Add a Stocking: You can hand him the small stocking and let him figure it out, or you can add the stocking yourself and see if he notices
- A shirt on an older sibling (or the dog)
- Place a cinnamon bun in the oven and from across the room say, “I have super smelling capabilities all of a sudden! Is there a bun in that oven?”
There are so many memorable ways to break the news to your baby’s father. Make sure that you have fun planning this surprise.
Christmas Baby Announcement with a Holiday Card
A cute idea to show off the baby bump is to show off a family photo during the Christmas card you send out. You can use your holiday card as a super cute Christmas Pregnancy announcement card! Don’t forget to use the digital downloads to upload to your social media account!
Share the pregnancy news at a Christmas Party
A fun and unique way to share the good news is to throw a holiday party and open your special gift! You can have a Christmas present wrapped that you open with the ultrasound picture in it or even have little Santa booties wrapped up to give all your close friends and family the clue! Such a cute holiday pregnancy reveal idea!
With it being the most wonderful time of the year, there is no better time to share the baby news with all your family members and friends! Take the time to find a cute way and a creative way to share the best gift, ever!
No matter how you choose to do so, know that it will be special, even if it doesn’t go exactly how you plan. After all, your partner may just be preparing you for all your future motherhood Pinterest fails! But, the moment will be perfectly imperfect, that’s for sure.
