A lovely customer asked me to design a matching insert to go with the giraffe baby shower invitation she ordered. She found a very sweet poem asking guests to bring a book instead of a card. I thought it was a wonderful idea.
Here's the insert I made with the poem she sent me (leaving out baby's last name).
I have kept most of the cards that were sent when my children were born. I used a few of them to decorate their photo albums and kept the ones that had a special message inside. However, since they have been stored away I never look at them anymore. Books on the other hand are read multiple times and enjoyed on an almost daily basis. I can definitely see this idea of bringing a book instead of a card becoming more and more popular. Besides, books don't necessarily have to be much more expensive than a fancy card.
Wouldn't you pay a little more for a book that lasts a lifetime instead of a card that might get thrown away?
