Grandparent pregnancy announcement ideas
Both sets of grandparents
One card for each grandparent, from a 10-card Pack ($49.99), each with their own new title.
Again, for baby number two
"Promoted again" or "Back-to-back champions", with the big sibling on the card holding the news.
From the big sibling
Their photo on the front with "I'm going to be a big sister" as the title.
For a long-distance reveal
Mail the card and scan it together on a video call. The QR code opens the video you recorded.
Nine months, behind one QR code
Every Cardbop card is a Living Card: the QR code printed on the back opens a page that belongs to that card. For a grandparent, it becomes the baby's first scrapbook:
The video
The two of you telling them, so the reveal is saved even if you're not in the room.
The ultrasound and the bump
Every scan and update, added as the months go by.
The due date countdown
And later, the birth announcement and the first photos, on the same page.
After the birth, the baby gets a card too: see baby announcement trading cards.
