I’m Going to Be a Big Brother Sign

Let your little boy share the biggest news. This personalised big brother announcement sign is engraved with “I’m going to be a big Brother”, your chosen due month and year, and a simple heart. Place it beside him or let him hold it for a supervised family photograph, then keep it as a reminder of the moment you told everyone.

The round wooden plaque pairs pale natural birch with dark engraving and flowing script. It is a thoughtful sibling announcement photo prop for a second baby, a growing family or a surprise pregnancy reveal to grandparents.

A big moment for your big brother-to-be

• Personalised with your baby’s due month and year.
• “I’m going to be a big Brother” design with script lettering and an engraved heart.
• Laser-cut and engraved from approximately 3 mm birch plywood.
• Natural wood grain and dark lettering that photograph clearly against light backgrounds.
• Small, Large and XL options, with the same design across the range.
• A physical wooden keepsake to enjoy after the announcement photograph.

How to personalise your sign

1. Choose your size from the product options.
2. Enter your due month and year exactly as you would like them engraved, for example March 2027. To omit the date, enter No date.
3. Want different wording? Use the optional wording box to enter the complete replacement announcement text. Leave it blank to keep “I’m going to be a big Brother”. The month and year are entered separately.
4. Check your details before adding the sign to your basket, especially the spelling and year.

Example order: Due month and year: March 2027. Different wording: leave blank. Your plaque will use the standard big brother design with March 2027 beneath it.

The date shown in the photographs is an example, not an automatic selection. Please enter your own details. Keep alternative wording short so it remains easy to read; spacing and text size may be adjusted to suit. If you would like help with a more detailed change or a preview, please contact us before production.

Ideas for your pregnancy reveal

For a relaxed sibling photograph, sit your child on a soft blanket and keep the sign facing the camera. Natural window light and a plain background help the announcement stand out. You can also place the plaque beside a teddy bear or a pair of baby booties for a simple flat-lay reveal.

Share the photograph in a family message, use it for a social media announcement, or let your son show the sign to grandparents in person. The big brother wording celebrates your older child; it does not reveal whether the new baby is a boy or girl.

Materials, finish and what is included

You will receive one personalised wooden announcement plaque in your selected size. Each piece is made from approximately 3 mm birch plywood. Wood grain, shade and laser-cut edges vary naturally, so every plaque has its own character. The design is engraved into the wood, with no raised name letters.

Teddies, blankets, baby clothes and other styling props shown in the photographs are not included. This is a decorative photo prop and keepsake, not a toy. Children should only hold it under adult supervision; keep it out of reach when displaying it. Store indoors in a dry place, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid soaking or bending.

Dispatch and delivery

Your sign is made with the details you provide. We usually dispatch on the next working day, and UK delivery is free. Please check the delivery information and any available upgrades at checkout. Dispatch and delivery are separate, so allow time for the postal service before planning your announcement photograph.

Frequently asked questions

Can I choose the due date?

Yes. Enter the month and year you want engraved, such as March 2027. We use the details you provide rather than automatically copying the photograph.

Can I order without a date?

Yes. Enter “No date” in the required due month and year box if you would like that line left blank.

Can I change the announcement wording?

Yes. Enter the complete replacement phrase in the optional wording box. Keep it short for clear engraving. Leave the box blank for the standard “I’m going to be a big Brother” design. Please contact us before ordering if your request needs a different layout or artwork.

Can I include my child’s name?

If you would like a name within the announcement text, include the complete phrase in the optional wording box. Please contact us first if you want a separate additional name line or a specific layout.

Do I need to complete both personalisation boxes?

Only the due month and year box is required. Enter your chosen date or “No date”. The alternative wording box is optional.

What sizes are available?

Choose Small, Large or XL from the size selector. Check your selected option before ordering. If you are unsure which size will suit your photograph, please contact us for help.

Will the wording be the same on every size?

Yes, the design follows the same style across the size options. Text size and spacing may vary to fit your chosen size and personalisation.

Is this a sign for announcing a baby boy?

The wording refers to the child becoming a big brother. You can use it to announce a new baby of any sex.

Can it be used for a third baby or a larger family?

Yes. The design works whenever your child is becoming a big brother. It does not specify a baby number.

Is it a physical product or a digital download?

This is a physical laser-engraved wooden plaque. You will receive one finished sign, ready to use as a photo prop.

Are the accessories in the photos included?

No. Your order includes the plaque only. Blankets, teddies, booties and other styling accessories are shown for inspiration.

Can I request a preview or correct a detail?

Please contact us as soon as possible, ideally before ordering if you need a preview. If you notice a mistake after placing an order, send your order number and the correction promptly. Changes depend on whether production has started.

How quickly will my order be sent?

We usually dispatch on the next working day. Check the current delivery information at checkout, particularly if you need the sign for a specific date.

Will my plaque look exactly like the photograph?

The design will follow your selected option and supplied text. Natural birch grain and shade vary, and your personalisation may require small spacing adjustments.
