I tend to agree with folks that keeping contact to you and your DH is the way to go. Ideally, that is what will be best for facilitating attachment.
With that said, my attachment therapist recently said that the grandparents are seen as an extension of us (me and my wife). He was far less concerned about the interaction with the grandparents as he was with aunts and uncles, etc., who aren't around as much.
I think you want the grandparents to be in the picture. I would do the best you can in keeping it to a minimum.

Our attachment therapist's quote to me after a session with my daughter and my wife: "You've landed yourself right in the middle of a looney bin."
