Sharing your baby’s name with friends and family is such a special moment. Whether you’re announcing before birth or introducing your newborn to the world, a name reveal is a beautiful way to celebrate your little one.
Here are some sweet and simple ideas for revealing your baby’s name – all perfect to pair with a handcrafted personalised name announcement plaque from Rowland Designs.
1. A Flat Lay Name Reveal
Flat lays are timeless, clean and incredibly easy to style. Lay your personalised plaque on a soft blanket or neutral backdrop, then add:
- a tiny pair of baby shoes
- an ultrasound photo
- a favourite soft toy
- a knitted outfit or hat
Use natural lighting for gentle shadows and a soft, warm finish.
2. Newborn Photo With Their Name Plaque
If your baby has already arrived, place the plaque gently beside them while they snooze. This creates the perfect “first introduction” photo for social media, print or a memory book.
3. Name Reveal in the Nursery
Capture your baby’s name in their nursery setting. Place the plaque on a shelf, next to a cuddly toy, or on their changing table alongside a soft muslin.
This option feels personal, cosy and beautifully at home.
4. Sibling Involvement
If you have older children, get them involved by letting them hold the name plaque. It’s heartwarming, natural and makes older siblings feel part of the moment too.
5. A Close-Up Engraving Shot
Sometimes simplicity is best. Capture a close-up photo of your baby's name engraved on the plaque. This looks elegant, modern and works wonderfully for a subtle announcement.
6. Include a Meaning or Middle Name
If your baby's name has a special meaning or story, share it in your caption. Your plaque can feature:
- First and middle name
- Birth date (if already born)
- “Introducing…” or “Say hello to…”
7. Outdoor or Nature-Inspired Reveal
Take your plaque outdoors onto grass, a picnic blanket, or a pretty wooden bench. Natural textures make your reveal feel fresh, calm and beautifully organic.
8. A Minimalist Announcement
If you prefer something clean and simple, place your plaque on a plain backdrop with no props at all. Minimal reveals feel modern, stylish and timeless.
