Baby Books insted of cards for shower...
Anyone have a good little poem or something to let people know to bring a book instead of a card for my shower?
TIA

You can just do a book wishing well.
I think people will buy cards regardless.

Re: Baby Books insted of cards for shower...
I found this online...i changed some wording around.
Please join us in welcoming the new little one
With friends and food it'll be lots of fun
If everyone brought a book it sure would be swell
We'll try to fill up the wishing well
Baby (last name) can sit down with mom and take a look
Or hop in Dad's lap and open a book
He/She will become very smart indeed
If we begin early, he'll soon love to read.

Re: Baby Books insted of cards for shower...
This was inserted in along with the invite:
Although cards are nice, they are only read once or twice.
A book is a treasure that lasts forever!
So instead of a card to be put aside,
Please give the baby a book with your best wishes inside.
It will be read to Baby G before bed each night,
And Azad and Ray will thank you as they turn off the light.

Re: Baby Books insted of cards for shower...
this is what we are using for my shower-
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 a baby to keep as long as she shall live
Filing the shelf should not be hard
If you would please sign a book instead of a card

I did this at my shower and we got soo many books. We also got a lot of cards, lol. PPL didn't really get it, but I'm excited to have a whole library of books to read to DD already!

Re: Baby Books insted of cards for shower...
Thank you! I just got a shower invitation that had this in it. I had NO clue what this was for until now.
Maybe it was the way their's was worded, but I totally didn't get it  I thought I was supposed to write the name of my favorite kid's book in the card
I'll post the saying later, but you might not want it since it didn't make sense
I think it's a really cute idea!
