Pregnancy announcement cards give you a personal way to share a new chapter with the people closest to you. Rather than a general congratulations card for someone else, these designs help an expectant parent reveal the news: a mum becoming Nanny, a dad becoming Grandad, or a sister, brother or friend taking on the role of Aunty or Uncle. Choose the relationship that fits and let the front of the card make the announcement.
The range includes floral and text-led designs with promotion-to-family-role wording. Look at each photograph before deciding, especially when you want the recipient to recognise their new title immediately. A card can be handed over during a quiet visit, opened at a family meal or posted when you cannot share the moment in person. There is no single right way to tell people; choose what feels comfortable for you.
Announcing the news to grandparents
The Nanny and Grandad designs turn familiar family relationships into the centre of the surprise. For your mum, a card about being promoted to Nanny gives her a keepsake of the moment she first heard. For your dad, the Grandad wording does the same without needing a long explanation on the front. Check the exact wording rather than assuming every grandparent uses the same name.
If your family prefers Grandma, Gran or another name, do not assume a Nanny card can be changed. Read the individual product details for any options actually offered. Inside, you could add a short note about looking forward to their support, or simply write the news in your own words. Avoid adding dates or details you are not ready to share; the card should reflect your announcement, not set its timetable.
Cards for an aunty or uncle
A new baby can give siblings and close friends a special new place in the family. Our Aunty designs distinguish a sister from a friend, so you can choose wording that recognises your relationship before the baby arrives. The Uncle card addresses a brother. Pick the recipient-specific version rather than using a design whose family description does not apply.
The floral Aunty cards offer another visual choice without changing what the announcement means. Compare the photographs and think about the person opening the envelope: would they love flowers, or prefer the simpler wording-led design? The right choice is the one that sounds like your relationship. A private joke inside can add warmth, but let the main announcement remain clear so the recipient does not have to guess.
A thoughtful way to share personal news
Pregnancy news is personal, and you decide who hears it and when. Giving someone a card does not mean the announcement should be shared more widely. If you would like them to keep it private for now, say that gently in your handwritten note or conversation. A physical card can be a lovely keepsake without becoming a photograph posted online before you are ready.
These are announcement cards, not new-baby congratulations, medical advice or promises about the pregnancy. If you are buying for someone who has already welcomed their baby, browse our new baby cards instead. For someone preparing for parenthood, choose the wording with care and follow their lead about how much they want to celebrate or discuss.
Choose your announcement card
Open the product page to check the current price, photographs and available options before ordering. Leave enough time for delivery if you have a particular visit or meal in mind. When several relatives are receiving cards, check each family role separately so the right person opens the right announcement. A short personal note can make even matching designs feel individually chosen.
The cards shown here are individual products, not an announcement bundle. You can choose one for a grandparent, another for an aunty or uncle, or just the single design you need. Keep the message simple, let the recipient enjoy the surprise, and use the card as the start of a conversation rather than feeling you must explain everything inside it.
