My aunts are throwing my shower and want to send out book requests with the invites. If you haven't heard of this its a little poem asking for books for baby instead of cards and having guests sign and/or put a little message in the books. Although secretly I would love all the books for baby, I think it's sorta rude to ask for books like that. How do you feel about this? I told my aunts I wasn't really comfortable with it but I'd think about it!

I Like the idea. cards can be expensive and I'd rather have a book to keep with something written in it rather than a card I will most likely throw away.
The only thing that would concern me is getting multiples of the same books. You can't exchange them once they've been written in and personalized and how many copies of goodnight moon can one person really have.
I think it's an awesome idea.
I don't think this is tacky at all. The last few baby showers I've been to, the invitations have included this "book request poem in lieu of a card." I think it's a great idea (I'm really into getting kids reading early in life) and I normally buy a book to go with the present anyway.
