Baby Shower Thank You Notes

5/19/2015

0 Comments

 
Baby shower note cards are a great baby shower gift. If you're hosting the shower, it's fun to buy note cards that match or coordinate with the shower party invitations.
Baby Note Cards and Thank You Notes
By purchasing note cards at the same time as the invitations, you can have the notes ready for the mom-to-be right after the shower.

To make things even easier for the expectant mother, have each guest address an envelope to themselves so that step is already done. At the end of the shower, give the mom the note cards, the self-addressed envelopes and the list of gifts received and who gave them.  This gesture might end up being the favorite gift of the shower.

Do You Include Mom in Baby Shower Planning?

2/18/2013

0 Comments

 
Do You Include Mom in Baby Shower Planning?
The simple answer is YES! Why not include the mother-to-be in the baby shower planning?

This is a very special time for her and unless the party is a surprise, it could be a very wise decision to ask the mom her preferences on:
  • colors
  • time of day
  • indoor or outdoor
  • a casual party or a formal china and silver all-out-affair
  • girls only or couples shower

Asking her preferences on a few things doesn't mean she has to be involved in ALL the planning. You do not have to give up control and bow to her every whim, it just means you are being nice and want her input on a few ideas you have.  The end result is you want her to be happy with you and pleased with the outcome of the shower you gave hosted for her.

How Do You Ask Baby Shower Guests to Stick to a Registry?

2/15/2013

0 Comments

 
The question of registry, gifts and guests comes up A LOT!  We understand that when you have taken the time to register your gift preferences at one or more stores, you would appreciate it if everyone got the message and stuck to only the items you registered for when they give you a gift.  While this is a wonderful idea, it is impossible for several reasons:
  • Not every guest will check your registry or even realize you have registered your preferences at a store
  1. The store was out of the one item they liked on your list
  2. Your chosen store doesn't have a location near them (yes, they could go on-line and order, but would they really?)
  3. They give every expectant mother the same gift (think elderly aunts, knitting needles...)
  4. They already know exactly what you need so there is no reason for them to check your registry
  5. They waited until the last minute to buy a gift and ran into the closest store they could find
  6. They didn't get the message where you are registered because it is NEVER proper to list that information on an invitation (we can see your raised eyebrows, so see below) and they didn't ask anyone or were not told by anyone about your registry

The proper way to let people know where you are registered is:
  • Tell them if or when they ask you
  • Tell your baby shower hostess so when guests respond to the invitation, she can rely the information when or if she is asked
  • Tell your mother, your sister(s), your aunt(s), your cousins(s) and they can relay the details when or if they are asked.

But today? Anything goes.  If you want to, absolutely must, or you are comfortable with including this information on your baby shower invitations, the details should be in small print at the bottom of the invitations under any RSVP information.
