I’m Going to Be a Big Sister Sign

She has some very special news to share. Our I’m going to be a big sister sign lets your daughter take centre stage in your pregnancy announcement, with your baby’s due month and year engraved beneath the flowing “Sister” lettering. A little heart completes a keepsake of the moment your family’s next chapter began.

Made from pale natural birch plywood with dark laser engraving, this personalised big sister announcement plaque is easy to style for a family photograph. Let her hold it under adult supervision, sit it beside her favourite soft toy, or include it in a simple flat lay with baby booties. Afterwards, keep the plaque with your pregnancy photographs and other family memories.

How to personalise your big sister sign

1. Choose your size from the product options.
2. Due month & year: enter the date exactly as you would like it engraved, for example March 2027. If you would like the date line omitted, enter No date.
3. Different wording (optional): leave this box blank for the standard “I’m going to be a big Sister” announcement. To change the phrase, enter the complete replacement wording. Enter the date separately in the date box.
4. Check spelling and the year before adding your sign to the basket.

Example: Due month & year: March 2027. Different wording: leave blank. Your plaque will show the standard big sister announcement with March 2027 beneath it.

The photographs show an example date; it will not be added automatically. Please supply your own date or write “No date”. Keep replacement wording short so the engraving remains clear. Text size and spacing may be adjusted to suit your chosen size and phrase. Contact us before ordering if you need a new layout, extra lines or help with a particular request.

Ideas for your sibling announcement

For a relaxed reveal, choose a spot with natural window light, sit your daughter on a light blanket and keep the sign facing the camera. A familiar teddy or bunny can help make the moment feel comfortable. You can also photograph her beside you and your bump, capturing both her excitement and the news in one picture.

Send the photograph to grandparents, share it with friends or use it for your social media pregnancy announcement. The wording celebrates the child becoming a big sister, so it works whether you are expecting a boy or a girl. It is just as suitable for a third baby or a larger family as it is for your second pregnancy.

Materials, finish and what arrives

Your order includes one personalised wooden announcement plaque in your selected size. The lettering and heart are engraved into approximately 3 mm birch plywood; they are not raised embellishments. Natural grain, wood tone and laser-cut edge colour vary slightly from piece to piece.

Blankets, flowers, toys, booties and other styling accessories in the photographs are not included. This is a decorative keepsake and photo prop, not a toy. Children should only hold it under adult supervision. Store it indoors in a dry place and keep it out of children’s reach when displaying it. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth; avoid soaking, bending or dropping it.

Dispatch and delivery

We usually dispatch on the next working day, with free UK delivery. Check the current delivery information and any available upgrades at checkout, especially if you are planning an announcement for a particular day. Dispatch is the day your order is sent; postal delivery takes additional time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I choose the due date on the sign?

Yes. Enter your preferred month and year in the required date field. For example, “March 2027” will be engraved beneath the announcement wording.

Can I have the plaque without a date?

Yes. Write “No date” in the due month and year box and we will leave that line blank.

Can I change the wording?

Yes. Use the optional wording box for your complete replacement phrase. Leave it empty to keep the standard “I’m going to be a big Sister” design. Please contact us first for changes that need a different layout or artwork.

Can my daughter’s name be included?

You can include her name within your replacement announcement phrase. Enter the complete text you want. If you would like a separate name line or a specific arrangement, please discuss it with us before ordering.

Which personalisation fields must I complete?

The due month and year field is required: enter your date or “No date”. The different wording field is optional and can be left blank for the design shown.

What sizes can I choose?

Small, Large and XL are available in the size selector. Check your selected option before ordering, and contact us if you need help choosing a size for your photograph.

Is the design the same on all sizes?

Yes. Each size uses the same round plaque design and lettering style. We may adjust text size and spacing to fit your personalisation.

Does “big sister” mean the new baby is a girl?

No. It refers to your older daughter becoming a big sister. You can use this sign to announce a baby boy or a baby girl.

Can I use it for a third baby?

Yes. There is no baby number on the standard design, so it suits any growing family with a daughter becoming a big sister.

Will I receive a physical sign?

Yes. This is a finished, laser-engraved wooden plaque delivered to you, rather than a printable file or digital download.

Are the accessories included?

No. You will receive one plaque in your chosen size. The other items shown are styling props for photography inspiration.

Can I see a preview or correct a spelling mistake?

Previews are available on request. Please ask before production, ideally before placing your order. If you notice an error after ordering, send your order number and correction promptly; changes depend on whether production has started.

When will you send my order?

We usually dispatch on the next working day. Please check the current delivery information at checkout and allow for postal delivery when planning your reveal.

Will the wood look exactly like the photographs?

Every piece of birch has its own grain and shade. The design follows your selected option and supplied text, with small spacing adjustments where needed.
