Buy or make a small blank book. Ask each guest to write a piece of advice in the book for the mother- or parents-to-be.
Expectant mother Arielle Ikeda of Forest Knolls, California, gave us a sampling of the words of wisdom called from family and friends at her baby shower. "Most of the advice was about sleep — 'Sleep when the baby sleeps,' 'Get as much rest as possible,' " she says. But a bit of the more unusual advice told her to remember that when she's up at 2 a.m. — nursing the baby in the rocking chair, feeling exhausted and lonely — hundreds of other women are up, too, with their babies. Her favorite piece of advice came from the hostess: "Whatever works."
A variation on the advice book involves asking each guest to write a wish or proverb for the baby. You could use poems, quotes, or something original.
Happy Planning!
