Baby Showers

Bring a book poem?

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?

 Thanks so much!

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,
    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 hard
      I 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.

  • 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.

    If you plan to bring a card,
    please take another look.
    I would like my bedtime stories
    to come from your favorite storybook.

    Please sign your name
    as your personal touch
    &
    I will thank you
    very, very much!

    Love, Baby YourLastName
