If you are here, chances are you are looking for a fun way to announce your pregnancy this coming Fourth of July. Congratulations if that is the case. Stick around for 4th of July baby announcement ideas that will be a big hit with close family members and friends!
Whether you are announcing your pregnancy by doing a cute flat lay or simply by using a letter board here, you will have several ways you can do that.
I bet you are eager to tell everyone about your pregnancy so let’s get to it!
When Should You Announce Your Pregnancy
Announcing your pregnancy is up to you. Whether that is when you first see the positive pregnancy test, after the first trimester, which is around 12 weeks, or even after giving birth, this is really up to you.
People often wait until after 12 weeks to announce a pregnancy because by then, the risk of miscarriage goes down, making it feel safer to share the big news.
It also gives the expectant parents time to make sure everything’s okay with the pregnancy before telling everyone the exciting news.
Whichever way you announce your pregnancy, there is no right or wrong way.
Letter Board 4th Of July Baby Announcement Ideas
Letter boards are great for just about anything. Whatever you are trying to announce, whether a pregnancy announcement, someone’s birthday, or graduation, a letter board to spell out a sweet message is the way to go. It is a great way to add a touch of personalization.
The best part of using a letter board to announce your pregnancy is that you can easily customize it to your liking. There’s no wrong way of doing this.
In my opinion, the only real thing you have to put thought into is what message you want to put on it and how you will display the letter board. Once you have all of that figured out it will be easy to go from there.
If you don’t already own one, here is one to consider getting.
Here are some things you can put on the letter board to announce your pregnancy this coming Fourth of July:
- “Our little firecracker is on the way!”
- “Baby’s first Independence Day coming soon!”
- “This Fourth of July, we’re announcing our bun in the oven!”
- “Baby on board: due this Independence Day!”
- “Our family is growing faster than the fireworks this Fourth of July!”
- “A little firework of our own is due this Independence Day!”
- “Celebrating freedom and a new bundle of joy!”
- “Watch out for our baby boom this Fourth of July!”
- “In the land of the free, our family is expanding!”
- “Baby’s first fireworks: coming soon!”
- “Announcing our little patriot-to-be this Independence Day!”
- “Baby’s debut: a Fourth of July celebration!”
- “Our family is growing, just like the nation, this Fourth of July!”
- “Explosive news: baby on the way this Independence Day!”
- “Red, white, blue, and a baby too!”
- “An extra reason to celebrate this Fourth of July: a baby’s on the way!”
- “Baby announcement with a patriotic twist: due date on the Fourth!”
Ways To Announce Your Pregnancy Using A Letter Board
These are pregnancy announcement ideas that can be done without a letter board. So if you don’t have one don’t fret, you can easily do this with a chalkboard or any other sign.
A Firecracker Themed
Announce your pregnancy with a onesie, baby shoes, and a letter board surrounded by sparklers. Make sure to add a cute message like “This Independence Day, we’re announcing our little firecracker-to-be!” or “Fireworks aren’t the only thing booming this Fourth of July!”.
Don’t forget to add some patriotic things to the mix. Such as a patriotic onesie or baby hat would be a cute thing to incorporate.
A Patriotic Picnic
That would be ideal to do with your family. A picnic-themed announcement with baby items arranged on a blanket with patriotic decorations would be cute.
Have your letter board ready to go with a message like “Decked out in red, white, blue, and baby bump!” or “Bump’s first Fourth of July: celebrating with a bang!”. That can be a cute setting for a photo op to share on social media if that is your thing.
Fourth of July Sweet Treats
A Fourth of July pregnancy announcement with themed cookies, cupcakes, or even a cake revealing the news would be another great way to announce your pregnancy to friends and family.
Add a sweet message like “Adding a new spark to our family this Fourth of July!”. Alternatively, you can have the cake or cookies say something like “Red, white, blue, and a baby due!”.
Fourth Of July Sibling Announcement
If you have more than one child, include them in the pregnancy announcement. One way you can do that is by having the child be close to the letter board with a message revealing the big news.
Have your child dress up in an adorable patriotic outfit. You can even have some fun Fourth of July-themed items.

Announce Your Pregnancy With Your Best Pal
If you have pets, include them in your pregnancy announcement. That would be such a cute way to reveal your pregnancy.
Have your pet sit next to the letter board with a sign like “Patriotic announcement: a new addition to our family!” or “Bringing some extra stars and stripes to our family this Fourth!”. Make sure to add in some Fourth of July-themed items too.
Flat-Lay 4th Of July Baby Announcement Ideas
Announcing your pregnancy by doing flat-lays is another good way of doing so that is super easy. So, what is a flat-lay pregnancy announcement?
That is a photo that is taken from above, showing several props set on a flat surface. The items are pregnancy-related, including an ultrasound photo, baby rattle, onesies, and even signs.
Here are some Fourth of July-themed pregnancy announcement ideas:
Onesie Pregnancy Announcement
A onesie with a custom message on a letter board like “We’re celebrating with fireworks and a baby bump!”, “Adding a tiny sparkler to our family this Fourth!” or “Our family’s star-spangled announcement: baby on board!” would be a cute way to announce your pregnancy.
Make it better by adding Fourth of July-themed ideas. Things such as a cute patriotic bow if you know the gender of your baby or a patriotic baby hat. You can also add mini flags to the flat lay to make it pop more.
Bring Out The Sparklers With a Photoshoot
A sparkler photo shoot with the expecting parents holding sparklers and a sign or a letter board announcing the pregnancy is a great idea.
Ultrasound Photo
Have a flat lay with your ultrasound photo. Add some festive 4th of July items into the mix.
If you want to skip the flat lay, you can also stand next to your partner and have both of you hold the ultrasound photo with patriotic items in the background.
Fun Fourth Of July Baby Announcement
Confetti Poppers or Smoke Bombs
Bring out the Red, white, and blue confetti poppers or smoke bombs. Before you use the poppers or smoke bombs, shout your big news to your family. They will be surprised to hear that.
Have someone in on that surprise and have them record the moment you reveal the big news.
4th Of July Photo Booth
A fun photo booth with Fourth of July props and a sign announcing the pregnancy for friends and family to take pictures with would be a great way to announce this to your friends and family.

I am a sucker for scavenger hunts. These are so easy to accomplish, everyone will have fun doing it. Keep it 4th of July themed to make it more festive.
