co-worker baby shower invite-thanks!
I am writing the invitations for my co-worker's school baby shower.
We host an special occasions at our monthly staff breakfast- I dont want it to seem like gifts are a necessity (because people have complained for bridal showers so does this seem ok?
-------------------------------------------------------
SHHHH! It’s a SUPRISE!!!
Ten little fingers, Ten little toes.
Boy or Girl, No one knows!
Just a little party, It will be such a treat,
In honor of a little someone
we can’t wait to meet!
Please join us for a Staff Breakfast/ Baby Shower
honoring

In the Staff Room
Please bring your favorite breakfast food to celebrate!
If you would like to buy a gift,
Mom and Baby ______ are registered at Babies-R-Us
Although cards are nice
They're read once or twice
A book is a treasure
That lasts forever
So instead of a card
To be put aside
Please give the little baby
A book with your name inside

Re: co-worker baby shower invite- help please!
I love the verses but I still think it implies that attendees need to bring a gift.
Maybe you could fit in there somewhere that the gift-giving part is optional?
Possibly say something like: If you are interested in bringing a gift...

I agree that you should add something about your presence being gift enough. Especially if people complain about it.

While I agree, I personally would never go to a shower or celebration empty handed some people would. So by asking people to bring a book, that could be construde as a gift and they may not want to bring one.
I also think putting the registry info in there also implies bring a gift.
As I said earlier, if you put something to the effect of "if you're interested in bringing a gift" you'll be covered for those who want to bring something and for those who don't.

Re: co-worker baby shower invite- help please!
I think the book idea is good b/c they are generally less expensive than registry items. And if someone doesnt want to bring a book they dont have to. I can't imagine teachers not being able to bring a baby/childrens book to a party. I dont know that I would include the registry info. though if people complain b/c that implies they need to bring a larger gift or more expensive gift. If they want to get something else they can always ask you where she is registered or look it up online on their own.
