what was the cute saying that was put in your invite?
here are some::
Bring a Book
As (Mother-to-be's name) due date is coming near,
We're inviting friends and family dear.
To choose a favorite story or fairy tale
That you would like Baby ________ to hear.
Instead of a card, please let (mother-to-be's name)look,
At your special choice of a book,
and then to Baby _________ she will read
With all the love a newborn will need.
So with a personal touch, please choose a book
And in it then your name do put.
It need not cost more than a card
Just pick a favorite, it shouldn't be hard.
author unknown
I want to be a bright child
As smart as I can be.
That is why I'm hoping
My mom will read to me.
If you plan to bring a card
Please take another look,
I would like to learn my ABC's
From your favorite storybook.
Please sign your name
As your personal touch.
Baby ________ thanks you
Beary, beary much.
Or replace the last paragraph with the following:
Please add your name and a note
Then I'll know you've done your part.
Some day I'll surely thank you
From the bottom of my heart.
Although cards are nice
They're read once or twice
Maybe three or four times at best
A book is a treasure
Forever and Forever
So instead of a card
To be put aside
Please give the little baby
A book with your name inside
It will be read to our little tyke
Before bed each night
And we will thank you
Forever and Forever!
A card is nice, its sentiment sweet,
But a book will keep baby on her feet.
For years to come, baby will read
Longing for stories will never be a need.
A shelf full of wisdom for all to give,
For baby to keep as long as she shall live.
Filling the shelf should not be hard,
If you would please sign a book instead of a card.

Re: for those who had children books given to u at your shower
This was mine - it was on a seperate piece of paper
Wishing Well
Bottles and diapers and rattles galore, you can buy several dozen and still need some more.
A small token from you to put in the well, on this small gift, your name do not tell.
If you rather a gift with a more personal touch, a story book signed by you would surely mean much.
If each of our guests brings a small one of these, our mom to be Marcie, would surely be pleased.

Re: for those who had children books given to u at your shower
I've done this before for showers and I think it's a great idea.
However, I would suggest that the guests NOT sign the book. I can't tell you how many mother's have duplicate books because they can't bring it back since it's signed. I purposely don't sign the book, and I know that they have had to bring mine back a couple times because they've gotten the same book.

Re: for those who had children books given to u at your shower
Hey... I did this for my sister's shower and my
best friend from college. Everyone loved this
idea and they both got a lot of nice books.
This is the poem we used:
Bring a Book
As (Mother-to-be's name) due date is coming near,
We're inviting friends and family dear.
To choose a favorite story or fairy tale
That you would like Baby ________ to hear.
Instead of a card, please let (mother-to-be's name)look,
At your special choice of a book,
and then to Baby _________ she will read
