Throwing a baby shower for grandma is a unique baby shower idea. The idea is simple, gather her closest friends and plan a grandma baby shower to help stock her house with some baby items so she will be ready to welcome her new grandchild. Less is more; the baby shower for grandmother should not outshine the baby shower for the mom. Keep it casual, make it intimate and get creative with your shopping. Here are some ideas and etiquette for throwing a grandma shower.

Grandma-to-be Shower Etiquette

• Grandma doesn’t have a registry

• This is not in lieu of the expectant mother’s baby shower

• Keep it small

• Keep it simple. Don’t go overboard with decorations and favors. This isn’t a traditional shower so the traditional elements don’t need to be in place

• Invite the mother to be and explain the idea to her in advance. You may even ask her what would be most helpful to her when stocking grandma’s house!

Ideas for a Grandma-to-be Shower

• Think of the essentials for grandma may need to have at her house. Think big, bulky items that are hard to pack up and would be easier for mom if they were already there like one of these: stroller, crib or pack n play, highchair, car seat, bouncy seat etc.

• Go in on a group gift and have everyone chip in.

• OR..Get thrifty, shop for gently used items to keep costs down and get more for your money by looking at local garage sales, on EBAY and on Craig’s List

• Have a “book shower” where everyone is asked to bring their favorite children’s book to start grandmas very own library.

• Keep costs down and make it a potluck or have it out at her favorite casual restaurant
