There’s something extra magical about announcing your pregnancy in the fall.
The air is crisp, the leaves are golden, and pumpkin-spiced everything is back on the menu.
Whether you love cozy sweaters, pumpkin patches, football season, or the warm glow of a bonfire, autumn gives you endless ways to share your exciting news.
The best part? Many of these ideas work perfectly for Instagram, Facebook, or a keepsake photo to share with family.
And if you want even more themed inspiration, I’ve linked to my other seasonal pregnancy announcement posts so you can keep the fall fun going.
