Grandma's First Grandbaby Shower
When a woman becomes pregnant, as the mother-to-be she is usually showered with many gifts from adoring friends and family. At the same time, the Grandma-to-be is left without the crucial items necessary for having her grandson or granddaughter over to her house. Poor Grandma! What will she to do? She has no baby supplies! Ensure that when Mom needs a few hours away, she can trust the bambino to Grandma, who is fully equipped with a place for baby to sleep, play and get the diaper changed! Party411.com will make sure that Grandma is prepared for anything and everything that a first time grandma needs to do her job with ease and affection.
Baby Shower Invitations
How about a birth announcement for Grandma? As soon as the baby is born, she will be taking on a new role, so an announcement that she will soon be a grandmother is a lot of fun as an invitation for this party.
Or choose a personalized baby shower invitation. Be sure to mention that this party is being held for the future Grandma! Ask people to come prepared with words of wisdom and advice as well as a gift that will help her settle into her new role as Grandma. Add some baby theme confetti to the envelope for a bit of extra fun.
A caricature invitation is a fabulous choice. You can have it drawn with Grandma sitting in a rocking chair, surround by everything baby - a crib, stroller, lots of toys and bottles. You get the idea.
Baby Shower Decorations and Party Supplies
If you are having seating, tie each guest's seating card to a rattle party favor or a diaper pin favor. They come in blue and pink. You can mix them if you don't know the gender of the baby or get whichever matches the future grandchild.
When your guests arrive, ask them to sign in words of wisdom for Grandma. There are a number of options:
Look for a coffee table book about babies, like an Anne Geddes photography book, and let people sign on different pages in the book Personalized Guest Frame - this frame has room for a 5x7 photo (which Grandma can add later of herself with the baby) and has a matting with plenty of room for everyone to sign. Create a small scrapbook and decorate each page ahead of time with baby themed embellishments. Let everyone sign a page of the book.
Always group balloons in odd numbers, which are more pleasing to the eye. You can get some cute baby shoe balloon weights for the balloons bouquets too.
Grandma's Baby Shower Table Decorations
Have fun with your table decorations at Grandma's shower. First choose fun baby theme paper goods (inexpensive and easy to clean!) and then pick a fun centerpiece.
Add an assortment of baby rattles, stuffed animals and toys all over the tables. Basically, it will look like Grandma's house at the end of the day after she's taken care of the baby. It's kind of like a look into the future- something for Grandma to get excited about!
Gift Ideas for Grandma
Since Grandma won't need some of the same things as the mother-to-be, here is a list of some of the most important items she will need to make her grandchild comfortable at her house when she babysits:
Maybe Grandma-to-be's friends can get together with their grandchildren and have a big day at the park or at one grandma's house. Present a "gift certificate" to your honored Grandma as an added bonus.
Baby Shower Games and Activities
"Baby Business" - Buy 10 baby objects that aren't easily identified, such as a nose syringe, a temperature strip, a breast pump, a teething ring, and so on. Distribute paper and pencil and ask players to try and guess what each object does. The player with the most correct answers is the winner. Present a basket of the objects (minus the breast pump) to the Grandma-to-be.
"Guess Who?" - Have the guests bring their baby pictures to the party. Tape each picture to a sheet of paper. Pass around the baby pictures and try to have players try to identify each baby. For added fun, write crazy captions underneath each picture, such as "Future President?" or "What are you lookin' at?"
We also have a huge list of baby shower games that you can play throughout the party on our Baby Shower Games page.
