Quick tips for your perfect message
Writing in a baby shower book may feel like a lot of pressure, but here is the thing – it doesn’t have to be. Here are some easy tips to help you nail it:
Try first writing your message on a piece of paper. Believe me, you will want to take it just before you commit to the real book. In addition, it helps you understand the distance and make sure you do not exhaust the room.
Think about who will read this message. Is it something sweet for parents to discover now, or are you writing something that the child will love when they are older? Both are okay – just decide which atmosphere are you going.
Use a label. If the internal cover is busy or you think the book can be discovered on the street and must be removed, you can use a label to write your message.
Don’t overcome it! Most importantly, your message comes from the heart. Whether you choose a beautiful excerpt or write something completely original, what matters is that it is genuine and shows you that you are interested in this little family.
Wrap it
Writing in a baby shower book is such a special way to welcome a young young person in the world, while helping their future library. Whether you go with a classic quote for reading, share a personal message or choose something for childhood miracle, your words will be a lasting gift that gets more valuable with time. How cool is that?
