baby shower invitation

I am having a baby shower in a few months and yesterday I found some really cute invitations that you can print yourself on the computer. However, I have been looking over wording ideas online and have found a few that I liked but nothing I really loved. I would really love to find a christian wording for a baby shower, if there is one out there. Also, they do not know the sex of the baby, so it seems that there are already fewer ideas when it comes to that as well. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Angels are always a nice theme at a Christian themed baby shower. Here are some theme ideas that could go over to the invitations:

"Heaven Sent"
"Breath of Heaven"
"An Angel Among Us!"
"Come Celebrate an Angel Among Us!"

"Little Hands - Little Feet,
Sent from Heaven, Perfectly Sweet."

___________

This type of baby shower is all about WHITE to emphasize the innocence of a newborn (angel). You could create so many great decorations for your shower with cotton batting (clouds), halos (go get some silver garland left over from Christmas that is on Clearence right now), HECK...go get TONS of angels that are on clearance right now at all the stores.

boutique baby

Here's a fun, funky and unique children's clothing line for your mod toddler diva -- cute & groovy baby clothes that she will adore!

On our parenting journey, we discovered that our baby girls were practically born caring about their clothes. We wanted to see them in unique baby dress & jeans outfits, baby swing tops, and more, but as toddlers they have their own fashion ideas to add too!

Our baby divas insist on soft & comfy toddler clothes with favorite colors & recognizable pictures. They want fun toddler clothes; dresses that twirl! They want to say hello to a ballerina, fairy, puppy, jungle animal or monkey on their baby clothes, point out their favorite girlie accessories, and pick out their own piece combinations. And they want to play in their boutique baby clothes -- inside, outside and upside down!

It's not so easy to find boutique toddler clothes that are also comfortable, soft, and toddler-friendly. We needed toddler outfits with boutique baby jeans that our preschool princess would actually wear! And when she finally fell in love with a boutique dress & jeans set, we needed to add all-weather versatility. It's wonderful to have coordinating pieces that can be layered, to bridge the seasons and make those favorite baby swing & jeans sets last.

And so we created Pixyworld -- a land of little girls' dreams. Our groovy patchwork baby dresses, embellished little girls' boutique jeans, leggings, and other mix-and-match clothing pieces are designed to delight a toddler's senses with their fun printed and embroidered pictures, soft and comfy feel, and almost limitless combinations. In each collection, we strive to combine colors and themes that your little pixie would have thought of herself. We love to hear the stories about a Pixyworld outfit staying at the top of a little girl's drawer because it's all she wants to wear!

So come on in and stay awhile . . . in Pixyworld -- soon to be your favorite toddler girls' boutique!

baby basket

Did you know that 1 in 16 mothers in sub-Saharan Africa die during labor when no health care worker is present to assist with the delivery? Despite the fact that obstetric complications can be prevented with quality pre-natal and emergency obstetric care, and skilled attendance at delivery, they are the leading cause of death for women of reproductive age in developing countries.

IntraHealth has worked in Rwanda for nearly two decades to address its health care challenges, including one of the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the world.

The Healthy Mothers/Welcome Home Baby Basket is an incentive initiative to encourage women to seek prenatal care and deliver their babies in a health care facility. Having a midwife, nurse of physician at birth overwhelmingly increases the chances of survival for both mother and baby.

The basket itself, given after the baby is delivered, will be a container that can be re-used to transport water and wash clothes and will include simple but essential items to support the continued health of mother and baby.

baby gift baskets

If you are going to be planning a baby shower for a woman who will soon become a mother, there are a lot of things that you will need to do. The first thing that you should do is figure out a theme for the baby shower. Once you have done this you can send out invitations to guests. You can get really creative here as you will want everyone who comes to the baby shower to be really happy. Make sure that you do not forget to purchase baby shower favors too. There are lots of great things that you can give out for baby shower favors. One idea that you could use is to purchase little decorative bags that you can then fill with little candles and soaps. Another idea is to purchase some fortune cookies, chocolate or lollipops in various baby themes for your guests to enjoy. Whatever else you decide to do, make sure that your guests will bring baby shower gifts to the party.

Now there are a lot of people who will be diligently looking around to find the perfect baby gifts to give to a new mother-to-be or to take to her baby shower. You may even be one of these people. With this in mind, you should know that there are a lot of great things that you could purchase for this new mother. She would definitely love to receive any of these items for her new baby.

First of all, you could create a baby gift basket and fill it with gifts that will help the new parents welcome their new bundle of joy home. Oftentimes these baby gift baskets have a theme such as pink for a girl and blue for a boy. Inside of these gift baskets you can then include gentle soaps, oils, powders, creams and shampoos, as well as soft towels and rubber duckies for the baby to enjoy. Of course, you could also create a toy basket that is filled with teddies, dolls, rattles and teething rings.

You could also put together an organic baby basket in which you could include organic baby toys and organic baby clothes. Clothing that is organic uses only natural fabrics that do not contain any dyes or chemicals. This will reduce the baby's exposure to allergens and other irritants while keeping the baby comfortable. Organic baby toys work in much the same way. These toys are usually stuffed animals that are made in the same way that organic clothing is made. Here again you will be able to protect your baby from things that will irritate him, especially since he will more than likely place these toys into his mouth. This organic baby basket is a great way in which to introduce new parents to the joys of living organically for their baby's sake.

Secondly, there is another thing that all new parents are going to need for their baby and that is bedding. Here you will want to buy at least a comforter, fitted sheet and crib bumper. Of course, you can also purchase a crib skirts, valances or other window treatments, pillows, laundry bags and diaper holders. Blankets would also make a nice addition. If you already know what the gender of the baby is going to be, you should purchase either a boy or girl-oriented set. For instance, the parents of boys may enjoy a NASCAR set while the parents of girls may enjoy something that is a little more girlish.

Third, you could get really original and purchase the new parents some baby keepsakes. Some items in this category Handprint Footprint Kits wherein you can take a mold of your baby's hand and foot; personalized baby gifts such as a blanket with the baby's name embroidered upon it; baby albums and baby frames so that the new parents can enjoy pictures of their bundle of joy; and piggy banks because it is never too early to start a savings account for the newborn.

Regardless of the gifts that you choose to purchase for the new baby, if the parents already have a child, then you should not overlook purchasing siblings gifts. While you may think that it would difficult to find a gift for these children, it really is not very difficult at all. You can easily purchase the sibling a T-shirt that announces to the world that they are the big brother or sister.

All of these ideas are very exciting and will be greatly enjoyed by the person that you are giving the gift to. Hopefully, now you will no longer be stuck on what to purchase and instead may feel like you have too many choices. This can be a great feeling as you can then pass on some ideas to your friends who are stuck for ideas like you once were.

baby bibs

Do you need a baby bib for a gift? Design your own bib. I can put on most any wording and I have a lot of designs you can add. I make baby bibs in nearly every color, also white terry, denim, chambray and many prints. Blank baby bibs are available for anyone wanting to put on their own embroidery for personal use or resale. All baby bibs come in two sizes.

Hello, my name is Mary John Carter, welcome to my website. I am a retired school teacher and a grandma. Sewing is one thing that I've always loved to do. Because I am a grandma that likes to sew, I have made a lot of baby bibs for my grandchildren. My kids loved my baby bibs and kept asking for more. Before long they were also wanting me to make baby bibs as gifts for their friends who have little ones of their own. This is how I got started in the baby bib business.

Today I am sharing my hobby by making my baby bibs available for all, and I hope that you too will think they are pretty unique! Feel free to browse around on my website to see some of the baby bibs I've made and enjoy.
