Just had a baby? YAY! This is a beautiful time…and an exhausting time. Sharing the news of your little one’s arrival is high on the list of important things, because friends and family are eagerly awaiting the news. And who does not want to show off their precious new addition?
But after delivery, and with the first several hours or days of sleeplessness, you might be lacking in creative ideas to caption your baby’s first photo. If you are looking for cute, heartfelt, or sentimental ways to announce your baby’s birth, look no further than our convenient list of the best wording for a baby announcement on social media.
Any of the catchy phrasing on this list can be followed by 'Welcoming—' or other short and simple wording to include Baby’s name, birth stats, and additional details. Get the big siblings involved, make it all about the little one, or include a bit of humour if you are up for it. This is a big moment, but it does not have to wear you out. Here are all our favourite ways to share your baby’s birth.
All that matters is that friends, family, and followers get to see that sweet face or learn the little one’s name. If you are not up for being too wordy, these very basic baby announcement photo captions will do the trick. Pair with a photograph (if you are planning to share Baby’s face with the world) and/or the arrival date and info and leave it at that. Easy peasy!
If you would like to add a little flourish, you can caption your baby’s birth announcement with some sweet and sentimental language. You can be emotive without knocking out a paragraph. Keep it brief and authentic, including a photo and/or statistics below. Facebook also handily has 'feeling' tags you can include to take even more of the guesswork out; a quick browse and selection from that list paired with some of this wording is all you need to make your baby’s announcement emotional and lovely.
For the more religious parents or those looking for a spiritual/connectedness angle, these simple captions will do the trick. Start with this wording, and then add 'proudly presenting,' 'welcome to the family, [Name]' or another simple introduction right after.
Team green babies have some of the most anticipated announcements, because not only are friends and family waiting on a name and photo, but they are dying to know if you are having a boy or girl. There are so many creative ways to share your team-green baby news, and it quite simply can involve just an image of your child in a pink or blue outfit. These easy caption ideas make posting your baby news even easier, when letting everyone in on the exciting news.
