Welcome to the World of Baby Boys
By Kate Miller-Wilson
Soft blue sleepers, shirts, and bibs,
Cars and blocks and robot toys,
Sticky fingers, ticklish ribs,
Welcome to the world of baby boys!
First Breath
By Kate Miller-Wilson
In the instant, your eyes meet his,
the world goes quiet.
All you hear is his first breath,
the first breath you take as a parent.
The future blooms before you
with visions of science projects,
ball games,
graduations and weddings:
all the moments that make a life.
Embrace your new role, just as you embrace your baby boy.
You were born for this.

Bath Time
By Kate Miller-Wilson

Messy Face
By Kate Miller-Wilson
You love your carrots, squash, and peas,
your applesauce and blended fruit.
We know we should clean you up,
But your messy face is just so cute.

A Love Like Mom's
By Michele Meleen
From the moment you were formed,
my heart has been warmed.
My little baby boy,
Gives me everlasting joy.
No one can love you such as I,
because I gave you life.
A love like Mom's is one of a kind,
made only for one special little guy.
My Son, My Sun
By Michele Meleen
The Earth revolves around its sun,
gathering strength and warmth.
As do I eternally need my son,
to give me light from this day forth.
You are the brightly glowing light,
my son, my sun glowing in my sky,
illuminating my darkest nights,
my world consists of you and I.

Grandma's Hand to Hold
By Michele Meleen
When Mommy's away
and Daddy can't be near,
Baby boy, Grandma will always be here.
When you grow
and need someone to talk to,
Baby boy, Grandma will listen to you.
When things get tough
and you're feeling less than bold,
Baby boy, you have Grandma's hand to hold.
What You Get From Grandma
By Michele Meleen
Grandma and Grandpa,
Dad and Mom,
All a part of where you're from.
Some gave you looks,
others spared brains.
You are the picture
From all that you got,
and all that you are,
what I love most,
is your heart full of love.
That, dear grandson
you get from Grandma.

Count me in
Baby Feet
By Kate Miller-Wilson
Today, your feet are as tiny as can be;
Someday, those feet will carry you away from me.
I must teach you if I can
to be a strong and loving man
to trust your heart in every choice
to stand up tall and use your voice,
to care for those with less than you
to try your best at all you do.
But I'll cherish this moment before it goes
And hold you close and kiss your toes.
First Birthday
By Kate Miller-Wilson
Twelve months have quickly passed since you were first put in our arms.
We've had a chance to learn your ways and fall captive to your charms.
Each day is full of laughter, of wonder, and of fun.
It's amazing to imagine that our little guy is one!
Funny Baby Poems
If you're not a sappy person, but want to impart some sentimental words a funny poem for the baby boy in your life can get your point across.
All Boy
By Michele Meleen
You weren't born full of muscle
or holding back tears.
You came out screaming
and full of fear.
You weren't born with a beard,
or smashing up toys,
but your fighting spirit
shows you're all boy.
Oh Boy!
By Michele Meleen
Oh boy,
we're in for a treat,
a little stinky boy
with tiny stinky feet.
Oh boy,
watch out world,
Daddy's hold on
to your precious baby girls.
He's gassy and handsome,
full of anger and joy,
He's everything they warned,
But he's ours, oh boy!

Tips For Hosting a Baby Shower
Consult The Mom-To-Be
The easiest way to plan a successful baby shower is to ask what the mom wants. (It's always that way, isn't it?) To make sure this happens, create an organized list you can check off as you plan to make sure you don't forget any of the important details she mentions. If she doesn’t like being the center of attention, you might want to plan some non-traditional baby shower activities. Consider creating a fun baby-shower themed word find for everyone to complete or a matching game.
Send Invites Early
Sending your baby shower invitations at the right time will give your guests enough time to plan, RSVP, and go out and buy the perfect gift for the mommy-to-be. This will also help you when booking your caterer and making party favors. We usually recommend mailing them 4- to 6-weeks before the baby shower. Be sure to use one of our custom envelopes in addition to our personalized address labels featuring beautiful floral designs and classic styles to add a nice touch to the invite.
Keep Food And Drinks Simple
A baby shower doesn’t have to be extravagant to be memorable. Find a few tasty yet simple food and drink options and put together a beautiful table setup or snack bar. Consider creating a taco stand for everyone to create their own and serve light refreshments such as water, lemonade, and iced-tea. For some budget-friendly decor, consider searching for a few baby shower printables.
Create A Checklist
Planning a baby shower or big event of any kind needs to be organized, especially if there are many guests attending. Put together a checklist to stay on track of all those small baby shower details. If you’re co-hosting, be sure to split up the tasks by category such as food and utensils, decorations, and party favors to make your party planning a breeze.
Ask For Help
Event planning is a lot of work so be sure to ask for help from close friends and family of the mom-to-be who know her the very best. Keep in mind that many items such as creating a guest list, choosing the theme, and writing thank you cards can be left to the future parents. As the mother opens her gifts, be sure that you or someone else takes care to write down the name of the person that bought her a gift. This way, when it's time to write and send out thank you cards, it's easier for the mother to write them out.
Choose The Right Date And Time
Baby showers are usually held during the day and weekends. If you’re on a tight budget, we recommend scheduling your baby shower outside of meal times. This way, people won’t be expecting a full meal and you can stick with small treats like finger foods and light refreshments.
Baby showers are also held 6- to 8-weeks before the baby is due. This gives the future parents plenty of time to decorate the nursery with their new gifts and start planning for the baby’s arrival.
Plan Fun Games And Activities
Nothing says baby shower like tons of fun baby games and activities. An important factor to always consider when planning and putting together a baby shower is keeping all the guests who attend happy and entertained. Consult with the mom-to-be on the type of activities she’d like to have and be sure to add them to the day’s itinerary.
Now that you’ve gathered some inspiration, you’re ready to wish the new parents all the joy in the world with their little one. For a unique baby shower gift, print one of these baby shower messages on a canvas to create beautiful hanging wall art for their baby’s nursery. It’s sure to make a gift they’ll treasure for years to come.
