60+ Awesome Pregnancy Announcement Ideas for Grandparents

You’re thrilled about becoming pregnant, we get it. The excitement of your pregnancy practically makes you jump out of your skin.

It seems that there is this inevitable snowball effect that happens, from the moment that you find out you’re pregnant from telling all your loved ones.

Usually, you and your partner start with telling your mom and dad, next to tell is your grandparents!

After you’ve told your best friends next, it finally seems that you’re all filled up with the wholesome joy of knowing that all of your loved ones finally know about your brand new baby to be.

Once you’ve told everyone in your and your partner’s family, your snowball is complete. While it’s certainly exciting to tell your parents about your pregnancy. It is beyond special to tell your Grandma or Grandpa about your new baby.

One of the main reasons it’s so special to tell Grandma and Grandma is because they have lived to see your mother or father raise you as a kid. Which makes the entire cycle of you giving birth with your grandparents nearby, that much more special.

If you find it to be a bit difficult regarding how to tell your grandparents about your newfound pregnancy. Here are the top 60 ways to tell Grandma and Grandpa that you’re having a baby.

When Should You Tell Your Grandparents About Your pregnancy?

That depends on a few factors, like how often you see your grandparents and what holidays are coming up. For instance, it would make sense to tell the entire family including your grandparents if a holiday like Christmas is coming up.

It’s a great way to make Christmas or Valentine’s days that much better for everyone if you announce your pregnancy on that day too.

If there isn’t a big holiday coming up, it might be best to wait until you’re 12-weeks or farther along. Once you hit 13-weeks of your pregnancy – the possibility of a miscarriage reduces significantly.

You’re considered in the ‘safe zone’ for having a miscarriage once you’re past 13-weeks. If you can’t possibly wait until 12-weeks, get as close to 12-weeks as you possibly can.

Which items you put into your box for your parents and baby to enjoy together will depend on how close you are with your parents.

Back when I had my twins, my mom was ready to change them the first night I brought them home from the hospital – think about what you’re personally comfortable with.

You can always make a box with toddler toys and accessories for when your child is a bit older too!

Promoted from dog grandparent to human grandparent ornament

This is one ornament that belongs on the tree of any good grandparent to be before their grandbaby arrives.

The ornament is made out of high-quality porcelain and has a cute message in it to tell your parents they are going to be grandparents for the first time.

The message on this adorable ornament says “Congratulations you’ve been promoted from dog grandparent to human grandparent.”

Even though this ornament belongs on a tree, it’s modern-looking enough to hang on the wall if you don’t choose to put it away for Christmas.

The clean look of the ornament doesn’t look like a Christmas styled ornament. Included is a gift box(for free) and a small golden string that you can hang it with.

The gold string isn’t the prettiest string, it will do the job though – if you want to invest in some ribbon it’ll be a little nicer looking when you gift it.

This message leaves a lasting imprint in your parent’s minds, of just how special grandparents are in this world. Heping them feel included, and important in your pregnancy.

Most ultrasound photos are 4”x6” or smaller, which is conveniently what this frame holds – pop an ultrasound in it or have grandma and grandpa wait until they have the perfect picture of their new grandbaby once he or she is born.

Create a painting on your belly and do a photoshoot or in-person pregnancy reveal to grandma and grandpa

Depending on how pregnant you are, and how much your belly is revealing your pregnancy – you can paint the percentage of how pregnant you are on your belly.

So if you’re newly pregnant, and not showing at all yet you can paint “Loaded %10” and other designs or a color that you choose.

If you’re farther along, or already know the sex of your baby, it would be more suitable to paint “Loaded %40” and use the color blue or pink as a background for the painting.

If you’re having a girl paint your belly pink, and if you’re having a boy paint your entire belly blue.

The best way to do this is to get a set of waterproof crayons, and a set of watercolor paints. These are usually non-toxic, spread over the belly easily, and you can write letters clearly with the crayons.

When babies arrive they need a safe environment to grow into, especially when they begin crawling.

A home with sealed off electrical circuits and baby gates is one way to ensure the safety of your new baby, who will one day be a roaming toddler.
