4. Sunrise Beach Pregnancy Announcement 

Use the dawning of a new day to symbolize the dawning of a new era in your life. Becoming a parent is a big deal, and a sunrise photoshoot to help announce the arrival of your newest family member will be well received. You can hold up your sonogram to share your baby’s first picture as well.

5. Beachy Gender Reveal 

Combine your gender reveal and your pregnancy announcements into one, and have a blast while you are doing it.

Siblings can announce the arrival of their new bestie better than anyone. There are many fun ways to have your child make the announcement, and writing it in the sand near a couple of sandcastles is a great one!

7. Family Beach Announcement 

It is definitely a cute announcement. Iit f you already have a child, you can have a playful family picture at the beach with a sonogram of your little one included.

Bring a large vintage-style mirror to the beach and position it so that it reflects you and your partner standing together near the shoreline. Write a simple message such as “A little wave is on the way” on the mirror, while the ocean appears behind you in the reflection.

9. Beach Time Frolicking 

Spending frolicking on the beach can be plenty of fun, so why not include a notice board that announces your latest miracle while holding up your baby’s sonogram to show off to your friends and family.

10. Baby Diver 

If you love diving, adding an extra pair of little diving flippers between mum and dads will send a clear message that you are expecting a new family member.

11. Beach Baby Letterboard Announcement 

You don’t even need to be in the picture for this one or have a fancy photoshoot day. Instead, enjoy some time on the beach with a letterboard making the announcement for you against a beautiful beach background.

12. Pet Pregnancy Announcement 

Dogs and cats are family members, too, so you can always include them if you have a furry family member in your pregnancy announcement.

13. Writing in the Sand 

When it comes to making beachy announcements, writing directly on the sand is a great idea. You can pose in the same picture, or you can take a picture of your message, along with some cute baby shoes.

14. Bikini or Trunks 

If you are not ready to make a gender reveal, or you don’t want to know yourself, you can always make everyone even more curious with a “Bikini or trunks?” board. Hang up a girl’s bathing suit and boys swimming trunks on a make-shift clothesline on the beach with a message, and you are all set!

15. Footprints in the Sand 

Plant the “dad plus mom equals baby” image for a beachy and simple pregnancy announcement on the sand. Dad’s footprint plus mom’s footprint equals a baby footprint.

16. Baby on Board 

If you and your partner are surfers, this is the pregnancy announcement for you. You can pose with pictures of surfboards representing mum and dad, as well as one for the newest family member. 

17. Arggh, Baby Matey 

You cannot think of the sea and not think of pirates. This announcement will work even better with a big brother happy to get a first mate finally.

18. “Tide Is Bringing Someone New” Reveal

Instead of writing the announcement directly in the sand, create a small temporary beach installation using smooth driftwood pieces arranged to spell “Baby Coming Soon” near the waterline. Photograph the arrangement from above while the couple’s footprints lead toward it.

19. Boat Baby 

Boating is another favorite for those who love the beach, so if you enjoy some time on the water, you can always use that to help make the announcement a bit more fun.

20. Sunset Announcement 

Brighten up your pregnancy announcement at the beach by going for some lovely sunset shots. With the beautiful setting sun reflecting on the surface of the water and peeking through the clouds in a colorful array, your picture will shine just as brightly as the new life you made.

21. Flip Flop Fun 

Any beach outfit is incomplete without a pair of flip flops, so post a pic of mum and dad’s feet wearing flip flops and place a pair of baby flip flops in between.

22. Baby Boots 

Baby boots are popular for making pregnancy announcements, and there are many ways to use them. If you want simplicity with meaning, a picture of mum and dad holding baby boots with joined hands is a great way to make a subtle yet meaningful pregnancy announcement.

23. Beach Picnic for Three
