Great ideas :) We ended up framing at ultrasound with a note that said "Can't wait to meet you in October Papa!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcement-ideas-for-parents-when-not-1st-grandkid#post-2107642 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 14:48:29 +0000 shellio 2107642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@natalie403: For our parents (not the first grandchild on either side), we gave them children's books with a little note that said "Will you read this to me when I arrive in (October)? Love, Baby LastName" It took my mom a minute to figure it out but it was fun with the other sets of grandparents. </p> <p>FYI, I recently got started watching youtube videos of couples doing baby reveals to their families. (Watched one, and new ones kept popping up on the side.) It was really sweet and you could get lots of ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcement-ideas-for-parents-when-not-1st-grandkid#post-2107566 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 13:52:21 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2107566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@natalie403: My son was the second grandchild. I took a picture of my nephew and put it on the lefthand side of a two-part picture frame. I wrote "First grandchild." On the right half-frame, I put an ultrasound picture and put "Second grandchild." You could do this with a picture of all your nieces/nephews, and then say something like "and room for one more" maybe? Something like that? It took my parents a minute to figure out, but it was one of the best moments of my life as I watched them interpret the news. Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcement-ideas-for-parents-when-not-1st-grandkid#post-2107550 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 13:44:16 +0000 ElbieKay 2107550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a frame with a picture of the ultrasound that said, "Official version expected in February 2014!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcement-ideas-for-parents-when-not-1st-grandkid#post-2107534 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 13:34:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 2107534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E was my IL's 5th grandchild. I found a poem online "from baby" that I printed on nice paper, framed, wrapped and put under the Christmas tree for our Yankee swap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcement-ideas-for-parents-when-not-1st-grandkid#post-2107515 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 13:24:02 +0000 LindsayInNY 2107515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a frame with something like this? </p> [attach=2229/15/nl5y92.600x459.967f7d66d19f0b8721f9cde9b3bdaf5e.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcement-ideas-for-parents-when-not-1st-grandkid#post-2107307 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 10:44:31 +0000 cookiemomster 2107307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: that is adorable and I'm stealing that idea down the road. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcement-ideas-for-parents-when-not-1st-grandkid#post-2107304 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 10:41:46 +0000 Mommy Finger 2107304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister in law gave my parents a little photo album with pictures of their current grandkids and the last page had a place holder for the newest grandkid with the due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/announcement-ideas-for-parents-when-not-1st-grandkid#post-2107300 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 10:38:43 +0000 natalie403 2107300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone! </p> <p>I am looking to announce to my parents this weekend! However, I have 3 older siblings who all have kids so this won't be their first grandchild. All the cute ideas I see are about "being promoted to grandparents" or "grandma est. 2015". Any fun ideas? I'm due in October.</p> <p>Thanks :) </p>
