Now this is a sweepstakes that comes right From The Heart. Sounds funny- a heartfelt sweepstakes, but I just love the concept of Graco’s current sweepstakes promotion. (I can say that because I had nothing to do with the creation of it!)

Graco wants to help you share the joy of your new arrival. Enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win a “Welcome Home Party Package” (a $25,000 value).

The Grand Prize Winner will receive:
• 10 round trip tickets from anywhere in the U.S. to bring friends and family to visit the new baby at winner’s home
• hotel accommodations for those visitors
• rental of two mini-vans for visitors’ use during welcome baby event (eligible drivers only)
• a fully-catered welcome celebration for your baby
• professional photographer/videographer to commemorate the event
• $1,000 worth of Graco gear to help the new parents get started
• $5,000 series E savings bond to start baby’s college fund and more
• $2,500 cash

I would have LOVED to win that! When my son Jagger was a couple months old, my parents hosted a “Meet, Eat and Greet” for our family and friends to come and meet the newest addition, eat some good food and greet the new parents and grandparents. It was a fun day- my husband and I were showered with good (mostly), much-needed advice and the grandparents were glowing with pride (too much for a grandkid whose best “accomplishment” was popping a tooth early!)

If you’re expecting a new arrival enter this sweepstakes! (but be sure you meet the requirements) And recommend this to your friends! (not only because they deserve a chance to win but don’t you want to be invited to the party?)
