Baby shower wording
I am making the invitations for a baby shower. The mother has requested no clothes. Any ideas for wording for the invitations that doesn?t sound greedy/ungrateful? Thanks!
Re: Baby shower wording
How about not putting it on the invite, but on the registry?
I recently went online to look at registry items for a shower I was invited to and in the comment area up top, it said something like "we're all set with baby room decor. thanks" Or something along those lines. And on the registry, there were 0 items that were decor related.
Just a thought!
Hhhhmm.... not sure that there is a graceful way of stating that on an invite. The only thing that I could think of would be to have a "themed" shower. For example, you know at bridal showers where the theme is cooking/kitchen and then the guests bring items related to the kitchen. Not sure how you would go about that for a baby shower though.
Personally, I wouldn't mention it on the invite and be gracious if someone did decide to give clothes. She can always try and return it or sell it on Craig's List.
There's really no way that you can dictate what people NOT buy you without sounding greedy/ungrateful.
The best that the mother can do is not register for any clothes and let it be known by word of mouth that she'd prefer not to receive clothes. But honestly, she should accept that she will probably get some clothes (people like to buy baby clothes and since it's their money they can buy whatever they please),. and that she can always give it to Goodwill or Salvation Army after writing out her Thank Yous if she really doesn't want it.
I agree that it's a little rude to print, but if you want to anyway...
The baby-to-be will be dressed for success

I received so many clothes for my first daughter's baby shower and afterwards... that I was able to exchange a lot of them for larger sizes and didn't need to really buy many things until she was one year old. As long as they come from a store and have tags on/gift receipts - she should be able to exchange them for different sizes or merchandise. Good Luck!
