Baby shower question

I know 2 of my SILs are planning a baby shower for June.  I really don't want a bunch of cards, and would love it if everyone brought a book for Miss C. 

Is it wrong for me to ask SILs to mention something on the invite about bringing books instead of cards?

    I dont think it's wrong at all.  Its your shower and you and baby are being honored, therefore I think you should get some kind of say in what's going on. 

    I think people bring books is a great idea.  I would say something like...In honor of the mother and baby C, Liz asks that a book be brought instead of cards.  I think Monica did a shower where this was on the invitation, hopefully she'll chime in.

    I was invited to a baby shower like this and loved it.  That's part of the reason I registered for so many books.

    That's a great idea.  I may have to do the same for one of my showers.

    We put:

    "In lieu of a card, please bring a children's book to help build _____'s library.  Please sign the inside of the book so that _____ and ____ will think of you every time they read it."

    I love this and I'm sending it to the ones doing my baby shower.
