I'm sure this is posted on here, but I'm having a hard time finding it. Does anybody have a poem to include in shower invites about bringing a book instead of a card?
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.
"Although cards are nice, They're 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 name & wishes inside. It will be read to our little tyke Before bed each night, And we will think of you Forever and ever!"
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 hardI 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 (last name) 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.
Re: Bring a book poem?
Here are a few I found on here a long time ago!
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.
"Although cards are nice,

That lasts forever.

Please give the baby a book with your name & wishes inside.
It will be read to our little tyke
Before bed each night,
And we will think of you
Forever and ever!"

Mine is a common one that I modified a little bit.
I want to be a bright child,
as smart as I can be.
That?s why I'm hoping
Mommy & Daddy will read to me.
