Winter is a beautiful time of the year for baby announcements. It doesn’t matter if you’re a snow aficionado or you’d rather hibernate through the cold, winter baby announcements can, and should, be personalized to fit you and your family’s unique personalities and interests. But that doesn’t mean that baby announcements need to be complicated or extravagant; even the simplest of announcements can be meaningful and become treasured memories and keepsakes. If you need help brainstorming that perfect winter baby announcement for your growing family, we have nine creative announcements that you’re sure to love.
Holiday-Themed Baby Announcements
Baby, It’s Cold Outside
The lyrics from the beloved Bing Crosby song set the stage for a fun holiday-themed baby announcement! For this reveal, we suggest using a chalkboard, letter board, or poster to write the words “Baby, It’s Cold Outside!” Then, take baby-sized mittens, a hat, a coat, or a sweater to decorate around the sign. Lay the sign and clothing items in the snow or have the expecting parents kneel by the sign and hold the baby clothes for a cherished photo.
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Another holiday classic to take from your music playlist and add to your baby announcement list! Expecting parents can use the same basic principles from the “Baby It’s Cold Outside” announcement like a letterboard or chalkboard and baby clothes, or you can shake it up! You could also use some of your favorite Christmas decorations in your photo like ornaments, holly and berries, or Christmas tree beads. Parents could pose with an ultrasound picture strip out in a snowy wonderland or have siblings open a baby onesie under the Christmas tree. This baby announcement idea leaves plenty of room for creativity, so make sure to add a personal touch to make it yours!
The Perfect Gift
There’s no better gift than a sweet baby for your family! For a fun Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or special holiday baby announcement idea, wrap up pictures of the baby’s ultrasound, newborn articles of clothing, or even baby toys for special family members to unwrap. Your family will love the surprise reveal that will help them feel included in the big moment.
Winter-Themed Baby Announcements
Little Angel Coming Soon
There’s nothing more magical than fresh-fallen snow! The white blanket of snow is the perfect canvas for a baby reveal. You can use baby shoes to create little footprints in the snow and then use snow gloves to create a mini snow angel. You can also do footprints and snow angels for the parents or siblings to get a full snow family picture! No worries if you don’t want to do the footprint and the snow angel; you can do either/or. If you choose only to make baby footprints and not the angel, consider using one of these lines to announce your baby to the world:
- Footprints in the snow lead to our biggest adventure yet – baby arriving soon!
- A new set of footprints is about to join the family trail!
- Snowy footsteps ahead – a little one is making their way to us!
Winter Fashion Announcement
Shopping for adorable baby clothes and accessories is one of the most exciting parts of pregnancy! This winter-themed announcement might require a shopping trip (or two) to find adorable winter clothes and accessories for the little one on the way. The clothes can follow a theme to fit your family’s style: think baby ski suit and skis for an adventuresome family, glittery or velvet clothes for a more bougie baby announcement, or fuzzy blankets and warm pajamas for a “dreamy” hygge feel. The possibilities are endless, and the shoot can be customized to your family’s situation, personality, or interests.
Something Sweet is Brewing Announcement
Perhaps the simplest – and most delicious – announcement on the list: Something sweet is brewing! For this seasonal baby announcement idea, all that’s needed is a cup of hot chocolate or your favorite warm drink! Take a photo with a letterboard and the steaming cup of warm bliss or pose with your partner snuggling in a blanket with your favorite mugs!
Baby Announcement with a Gender Reveal
Color Ski
More parents are opting to learn the gender of their baby in the first trimester, so depending on when you plan your baby announcement, you can announce the gender at the same time! And there isn’t a more exciting reveal than a color ski. To do this reveal, you’ll need to find a location that’s a long enough hill for skiing that also allows color powder. (Most ski resorts don’t allow color powder on their hills during the regular ski season.) All Chameleon Colors color powders are nontoxic, environmentally friendly, and perfect for “painting” the snow! Once you’ve found the perfect hill, hand your skier two, 1lb Blackout Bags of color powder. Open the bags, and when they start down the hill, have them dump the bag behind them as they ski down the hill. They’ll leave behind a trail of brilliant pink or blue powder that will contrast nicely with the sparkling, white snow! Make sure to have your camera ready, you’ll want to capture every second!
Snowman Family
This is a great pregnancy announcement to help other children get involved in the reveal! All you need is snowman supplies and, of course, snow! Build a family of snowmen and include a little snow baby! You can use gender-themed snowman supplies like a pink hat or blue scarf, or you can write the announcement directly in the snow! Use Chameleon Colors’ Snowman Painting Kit or Snow Painting Kit to write a fun message like “Baby Frosty joining our snowy crew in [due date month]!” The color powders won’t melt the snow, so you can use the powders to add creative personal touches to the snowmen or write in the snow around your snow family.
Extinguisher Reveal
Extinguishers and snow might not be the most obvious combination, but we promise that this baby announcement and gender reveal will be, what do the kids say nowadays? Oh yes, “Straight fire!” Chameleon Colors’ Extinguisher Blasters are a simple and easy, but striking way to announce your pregnancy and the gender of your little one to the world! For this reveal, all you need is to find a wintry backdrop that you think will make for the best picture. Then, at the time of the reveal, blast the color powder into the air for a beautiful and visual reveal that everyone will remember.
Winter is a wonderful time to announce your baby to the world. Don’t let the seemingly drab landscape keep you from making a creative, beautiful, and even colorful baby announcement or gender reveal!
