Bring a book rhyme?

dsb1977

Hi all,

My mother and I are in the process of planning a shower for my brother and SIL and I loved the idea of asking guests to bring their Fav book for the baby - has anyone seen any rhymes or particular phrasing to put this in the invite?

 Any help is appreciated!  Thanks!

 Although cards are nice, they are only read once or twice.  A book is a treasure, which will give great pleasure, so instead of a card to be put aside, please give (name) a book with your name inside.

This is the one my mom and MIL are using for my showers.

 

I want to be a bright child
As smart as I can be.
That is why I'm hoping
My mommy 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
Very, very much

Here are a few I've found online and saved:

Although cards are nice with their sentiment
and prayer,
They're read once or twice then tucked away
with care.
A book is a treasure, words and pictures unite
Read over and over to teach and delight.
So instead of a card for Baby and
mother,
Please give a child's book with your thoughts in the cover.
Your book will be cherished; God will watch from above,
When it's read they will remember your
kindness and love.

We can't wait to see you at the shower
When (mom-to-be's name) will be the woman of the hour
We have one request we hope isn't too hard
Please sign your name to a book instead of a card
Then mom and dad will be ready when the baby arrives
To read to their darling for the rest of their lives

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.

Beary, beary much.


Just one last request, and we hope it's not hard
Please bring baby a book in place of a card
By signing your book, we will remember and share
Your special gift, even when you're not there!
