Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and being grateful. But this year?
You’ve got something BIG to be thankful for—your little one on the way!
If you’re looking to share the exciting news around the Thanksgiving table (or on social media), I’ve got some easy and adorable ideas for you.
These simple Thanksgiving pregnancy announcement ideas are easy to pull off but still pack a punch of holiday charm. Let’s get into it!
Thanksgiving Pregnancy Announcement Ideas
1. “We’re Adding Another Place at the Table”
This one is all about setting the scene—literally! Imagine your family sitting down to a Thanksgiving feast, and there’s an extra place setting.
But instead of a regular ol’ plate and fork, you have a baby bib or a tiny bottle. Maybe even a little pair of shoes.
Add a cute note that says something like, “Baby arriving [due date],” and wait for the “Awws” and “Oh my gosh!” from across the table. It’s such a sweet and subtle way to share the big news!
Bonus tip: Snap a picture of this setup and post it on social media with the caption, “We’re thankful for one more seat at our table next year!” Guaranteed to get some love from your followers.
In this cute Thanksgiving announcement, the couple is all smiles, holding signs that say, “We’re going to have a baby!” and “It’s a boy!”
They’ve got the whole fall vibe going on with a big turkey and festive decorations in the background—such a fun way to share their exciting news!
2. “A Little Pumpkin Pie on the Way”
Let’s be real: Thanksgiving is all about the food. So why not use it for your announcement?
Grab a small pumpkin, write “A Little Pumpkin Pie on the Way!” on a sign (or even on the pumpkin itself), and place it next to a slice of pie.
Snap a quick pic, and you’ve got yourself a super cute and festive reveal. It’s simple, sweet, and very on-theme for Thanksgiving.
Pro tip: You can also bake a pie with a hidden message! Use some whipped cream or icing to write your big news right on top: “Baby arriving [due date].” Just imagine the reactions when dessert rolls around!
3. “Bun in the Oven”
This is such a classic, and it works perfectly for Thanksgiving! If you’re hosting or even bringing a dish to dinner, put a tray of rolls (aka buns) in the oven.
When it’s time to eat, announce, “There’s something extra special in the oven this year!”
Watch everyone’s faces as they slowly get it—and then probably scream with excitement.
Photo idea: Take a pic of your oven with the tray of rolls inside, and a note on the door that says, “Bun in the oven—arriving [due date].” It’s Instagram-ready and beyond cute.

4. Thanksgiving-Themed T-shirt Reveal
This one is for all my moms-to-be who love a good-themed outfit.
You can grab a Thanksgiving shirt that says something like “Eating Pie for Two.”Super easy, but SO adorable.
Where to get it? Etsy is your best friend for these! There are tons of cute shirts out there just waiting to make your announcement extra special.
Our Favorite Etsy Finds:
5. “Grateful, Blessed, and Expecting”
Sometimes, a simple sign says it all. Get yourself a cute letterboard or chalkboard and write out, “Grateful, Blessed, and Expecting.”
It’s a quick and easy way to share the news, and it can fit into almost any Thanksgiving setting.
You can take a picture holding the sign with your partner or by yourself surrounded by fall décor, pumpkins, and all that autumn goodness.
Caption idea: “Feeling extra grateful this Thanksgiving! Baby [Last Name] coming [due date].” Boom! Simple, sweet, and straight to the point.
6. “Thankful for a New Adventure”
If you’re outdoorsy or love the whole fall vibes thing, this one’s for you. Head outside and find a pretty leaf or a small pumpkin.
Write something like, “Thankful for a new adventure—Baby arriving [due date]” on it, and hold it up for a cozy, nature-filled photo.
The background can be all those gorgeous fall colors, and the focus will be on your cute little announcement.
Pro tip: This one works perfectly for Instagram! The caption writes itself: “Our next adventure? Becoming parents! We’re so thankful this year and can’t wait to meet baby [Last Name] in [due date].”
Time to Share the News!
Announcing your pregnancy is such a big moment, and tying it into a holiday like Thanksgiving makes it even more special.
Whether you’re keeping it low-key with a family reveal or sharing the news with the world on social media, these ideas are simple, sweet, and full of holiday cheer.
So grab that pumpkin, set the table, and let your little secret out—because this year, you’ve got something so much bigger than turkey to celebrate!
