Calling all nanas, papas, grandmas, and grandpas! As you earn this new title and jump into the roll, you deserve to celebrate and be celebrated! After your child has been showered with love and has everything needed to start parenthood, everyone can spend an afternoon sprinkling you!  

Wait, what's that? A Grandparent Sprinkle? Absolutely!

You've never heard of a grandparent sprinkle? Well, don't worry, we've got you covered.

What is a Grandparent Sprinkle?

A grandparent sprinkle is a fun and informal gathering to celebrate the exciting arrival of a grandchild. It's similar a baby shower, but with a twist. Instead of focusing on the expectant parents, the spotlight is on the soon-to-be grandparents. It's a chance for them to share their excitement and joy with their friends and family!

Throwing a Grandparent Sprinkle

Choose a Theme

Every good party needs a theme, right? So, why not pick a theme that reflects the grandparents' personality or interests? Whether it's a sports theme, a garden party, or a retro 60’s vibe, the possibilities are endless. Just make sure it's something that the soon-to-be grandparents will love!

Get Creative with Decorations

Decorations are a must for any celebration. Go all out with balloons, banners, and streamers. And don't forget to include some baby-themed decorations too.

Plan Fun Activities

No party is complete without some fun games. Consider organizing games like "Guess the Baby Picture," "Baby Trivia," “Name that Nana (picking the perfect grandparent name),” or “Lessons on Spoiling a Grandbaby!” You could also set up a photo booth with props for some hilarious and memorable pictures.

Food, Glorious Food

Food is always a highlight, but at this sprinkle, there can be anything from catered goodies to homemade backyard BBQ. Make sure you include several dessert options!

Shower the Grandparents with Gifts

Just like a baby shower, a grandparent sprinkle is a great opportunity to shower the soon-to-be grandparents with gifts. You can include anything that may be needed if the grandparents will be helping often, like a stroller, pack-n-play, or car seat, or you can wrap sentimental items like ultrasound frames, Heartbeat Animals with Baby’s heartbeat recorded and a message stored inside, or even a scrapbook filled with memories!

Gather your friends and family, sprinkle some love and happiness, and get ready for the grandparent adventure of a lifetime!
