LittlePinkMoose asked:

When a couple has a new baby, do you have to send a gift immediately or is it ok to send it within a few months? A good friend of mine out of state had a baby 2 months ago and I have been searching everywhere for a specific gift I want to get the baby related to her favorite sports team. Part of me feels bad but the baby is still a newborn so I was just curious. I’m going to be visiting her next month so I was planning on bringing it with me then. Is this ok?

Baby Shower Words, Verses for Baby Shower Invitations

When you are Planning a Baby Shower, there are a lot of details you have to finalize, including choosing the baby diaper cake and picking a location. You’ll need to gather refreshments, compile a guest list, and handle the decorations. Of course, another factor in your massive list of responsibilities is the Baby Shower Invitations Wordings on those invitations. That means you want to hold off on putting together the Baby Shower Games, so you’ll be able to prepare the appropriate invitation wording whether you are having a formal or an informal celebration.

Baby Shower Invitations for Formal Events

With a formal shower, you’re going to want to take care to reflect that tone in your choice of Help Baby Shower Invitations Wording, Sayings and Verses. A good way to start these formal invitations is with a phrase such as “You are cordially invited to a baby shower” or “The pleasure of your company is requested at a shower.” Follow that line with who the shower is going to be for: the new baby if he or she has already entered the world, the parents-to-be, or the mother-to-be. When you are writing out the wording, be sure to use everyone’s full name – that is standard when you are working with formal Baby Shower Invitations. Once you reach this point of the wording, you should add in the details of the party, such as the location, date, and time of the baby showers. You also need to have all of the words written out completely. For example, if the shower is being held on the August 30th at noon, you would write it out as “the thirtieth of August at twelve o’clock noon.” Remember not to use any types of abbreviations.

At the end of the wording, you’ll need to write out the full names of the hosts of the party. Also, this is a good place to add the RSVP information at the bottom of the card unless you are going to be using a separate response card.

Baby Shower Invitations for an Informal Party

Formal invitations aren’t needed if you are having a small, casual shower. However, that doesn’t mean you can just call or email guests. You should still send out invitations and you will need to be careful with your baby shower words. However, you do have more flexibility with what those cards can say. For example, you could begin the message with “Susan and Jeff invite you to celebrate the approaching birth of Morgan and Matt’s new baby at a special shower.” Of course, you’d follow this up with celebration details.

Don’t forget that if you send out informal invitations you need to plan a casual shower. That means you keep the refreshments simple, the guest list smaller, and the location more private. Just remember that the shower will be a fun experience whether it’s formal or informal.

Gifts & the Baby Showers Wording

Finally, you also want to leave off some things from the baby shower words. The main thing you do not want to include is any information about gifts or the gift registry. When you mention gifts on the invitation, guests feel as if you expect them to buy a present in order to attend. That makes the party seem less like a celebration and more like a plea for cash and prizes. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have gift registry information handy when guests contact you with questions about what to buy.

Is it wrong to not want my boyfriend to buy his sons Mom a baby gift which she just had with another guy?

Diane S asked:

The Mom is irresponsible and unsteady. My boyfriend sees the good in everyone and I am upset that he calls her his friend. He is way to nice to her not only for the kids but I think he cares about her. Isn’t is ok to feel like not getting the new baby a gift?

Any good recipes for neighbor about to have a baby?

admin — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:30:20 +0000

msv500 asked:

My neighbor is scheduled to give birth next week and I want to make her a dinner or something for her family so they can enjoy the new baby and not have to worry about cooking.

What are some good recipes for easy meals, that most people will like, and that freeze well? I don’t know these people that well as I’ve just moved here, so I don’t know if they have any dietary restrictions.

If you recently gave birth and had people bring over dinners, which one worked the best? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
