New Dad Pregnancy Announcement Blanket: A Letter From Baby

New Dad Pregnancy Announcement Blanket opens with a letter addressed to daddy, printed in blue and green lettering. It says I cannot wait to meet you, looking forward to our future, and LOTS OF LOVE FROM YOUR LITTLE BUMP, so it reads as if the baby is writing to the dad-to-be.

The artwork explained

Two watercolor elephants sit together in the lower middle of the print, the smaller one stacked slightly on the larger, on a patch of green grass with tiny yellow flowers. Above them hangs a big golden crescent moon with small yellow stars scattered around it. The letter is set in layered lines across a soft blue striped backdrop, with heavier capitals for the phrases AND ALL THE FUN and NOT LONG TO GO NOW. Small hearts, a bee and a few butterflies sit between the lines, adding a gentle, nursery-style touch. The mix of handwritten script and bold block capitals gives the page a warm, personal voice.

Who it suits best

Expectant fathers notice the letter first, then the elephants. You can give it to a first-time dad who is counting down the weeks, to a grandparent-to-be who wants to share the news, or to a close friend who is about to become a father. It works just as well for a partner who wants to mark the moment in a photo before the baby arrives.

When it fits

The design is made for announcement days, when you reveal the pregnancy to family or friends. It also fits a baby shower or a Father's Day gift in the months before the birth. Wrap it up, hand it over, and let him read the lines while the moon and elephants do the rest.
