Valentine’s Day is a dream come true for romantics everywhere! If you’ve recently discovered that you’re expecting, February 14 is the ideal time to share your delightful news with friends and family. In fact, some couples love the day so much that announcing a Valentine’s Day baby even months later seems fitting, especially if you believe conception occurred on this special date.
Whether your little one was conceived on Valentine’s Day, is due on the holiday, or you just want to make the announcement on that day, this guide provides a plethora of charming ideas to help you spread the love.
Creating Your Valentine’s Day Baby Announcement
A Valentine’s Day announcement can be as subtle or as direct as you wish. Some parents opt for sweet poems and conversation hearts, while others stick to a classic pink and red theme. There’s no wrong way to do it! To craft your announcement, consider mixing and matching these essential “ingredients”:
- A splash of…
- Red
- Pink
- Hearts
- Chocolates
- Conversation hearts
- Heart-shaped balloons
- Love poems
- And a sprinkle of…
- Sonogram
- Onesie
- Booties
- “Big Brother”/“Big Sister” merchandise

Combine your chosen elements until you find the perfect blend. “Heart hands” around your baby bump is always a favorite. Alternatively, messages like “Expecting Something Sweet” or “V-Day Baby on the Way” written on conversation hearts are sure to delight.
