4. Fur Baby Big Brother or Sister
For many couples, their first “baby” is of the four-legged variety. Including your dog or cat in your pregnancy announcement is not only adorable, but it also honors the special bond you share with your pet. To execute this safely and successfully, preparation is key. You can drape a custom bandana around your pet’s neck with a phrase like “Big Brother” or “Official Toy Tester,” or place a letterboard sign on the floor right next to them.
To get your pet to cooperate, have a pocket full of treats ready and enlist the help of your partner or a friend to stand behind the camera to get their attention. Position your pet in a well-lit area of your home, perhaps sitting on a cozy rug. Place a pair of baby shoes or an ultrasound picture just in front of them. Aim for an eye-level shot to capture your pet’s sweet expression. This lighthearted and personal approach is guaranteed to bring a smile to everyone scrolling through their Instagram feed.
