25 Third Baby Announcement Ideas
If you’re expecting baby number three, you might not feel the urge to plan a big announcement. You’ve probably already done that with your first two, and let’s be honest, it can be a lot of work. Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy sharing the news in a fun way.
Below, you’ll find some easy and playful ideas for announcing your third pregnancy. They’re simple to pull off, make for sweet keepsakes, and give you a fun way to mark this moment with your growing crew.
1. Third Time’s the Charm
You’ve probably heard the phrase before, and it works perfectly for a third baby reveal. Write “Third Time’s the Charm” on a chalkboard or poster, then add it to a photo setup. Your older kids can hold the sign, or you can place it next to an ultrasound or baby shoes for a sweet touch.
2. Sibling To-Do List
Let your older kids help break the news with this cute idea. Create a short “to-do list” for each child, and at the bottom, add something like “Become a big brother again” or “Promoted to big sister.” Check the last box to make the message clear.

9. Middle Child Moment
This one’s fun and super easy. If your youngest is about to move to the middle, dress them in a tee or place a sign next to them that says “Middle Child.” Snap a quick photo, and your loved ones will catch on pretty fast.
10. BigSisterProblems
If your youngest is a girl, play up the humor with a hashtag sign or shirt that says “#BigSisterProblems.” It’ll take a second for people to realize what it means — and that’s what makes it so fun. You can switch it up with #BigBrotherProblems if you’ve got a boy instead.
11. Break Out the Hand-Me-Downs
Pull out a baby item you saved from your older kids, like a onesie or tiny pair of shoes. Share a photo of it with a clever caption about how glad you are that you kept it. It’s a subtle but sweet way to let everyone in on the news.

20. Oops… We Did It Again
This one’s perfect if you love a little humor. Dress up like Britney Spears in her classic schoolgirl outfit from Oops!… I Did It Again and pose with your bump. Use the song title as your caption to bring the idea home.
21. Waiting for the Next Player
If your family loves gaming, this idea will feel right on theme. Wear matching shirts that say something like “Waiting for Player 5.” Snap a group photo with everyone in their shirts and let the caption do the talking.
22. Breaking the Tie
Got two kids — one boy and one girl? Baby number three could be the tiebreaker. In the photo, have your little ones holding ropes tied around Mom and Dad, with Mom’s bump clearly showing. It’s playful, cute, and gets the message across instantly.
24. The Three Musketeers
Use this classic trio as inspiration. Dress your two kids in musketeer costumes and leave space for the third. Add a playful caption letting everyone know your own team of three is on the way.
25. Do the Math
Take a family photo that spells it out. Have Dad hold the two kids, Mom show off her bump, and then edit the image to read something like “3 + 2 = 5.” A creative and fun way to show your growing family.
