Looking for cute ways to tell my dad he is going to be a grampy! We're telling our mom's with cute grandma onesies but I was trying to think of something diff for my dad...any ideas?
I told my future father in law by getting him a shirt that says "#1 Grandpa" and wrapped it in a yellow bag. When he opened it he almost fainted and started jumping up and down! Needless to say the shirt went right on and I doubt he has taken it off since! I broke the news the same way with my future sis in law and mom in law as well. It seemed to be a really cute way of doing it.
I know this is a totally late post but this is how I told my mother with this poem on a throw blanket. For our dad's we got the T-shirts with "My Grandpa Rock!"
I do not have a face to see, Or put inside a frame. I do not have soft cheeks to kiss, I don't yet have a name. You can't yet hold my tiny hands, Nor whisper in my ear. It's still too soon to sing a song, Or cuddle me so near. But all will change come November, That?s when they say I'm due. I'm your new grandson or granddaughter; I can't wait till I meet you. All I ask between now and then Is your patience while I grow. I promise I'll be worth the wait, Because of all the love we'll know. So what I have to give you now, Is a wish to you from me. I cannot wait to be a part
Good luck and congrats!!
You could buy him Father of the Bride 2! I meant to do that for my dad w/ DD.. but I got impatient and just told him over the phone (my parents live across country).
