We didn't have any special wording, BUT be sure that you put down how old your child is and a rough estimate of what size you think he will be. That's hard to guess of course, but make sure that people know NOT to buy 0-3 month sized clothing! We had a few people buy us small outfits - I guess they just didn't remember that she is ALREADY 3 months old!
 These are the things that I took to the shower: a list of the steps of the process a map of Guatemala to show everyone where she was born pictures of her Everyone enjoyed learning more about the process. Have a fun time!!!

Definitely register if you haven't. If you have a BabiesRUs, you can just register online if you do not want to go there. If you need any tips on what is good, their website has really cool and accurate reviews,that is how we chose almost everything. Good luck!

my shower
mine is this Sunday and I am dreading it! I know it will be great but there is something about being the center of attention that feels so weird. The invite said:
" Ella Joan will be coming home soon, please join us...." Have fun!

Welcoming Party...
Our baby shower was held after our little one arrived home. The invitation noted it as a "Welcoming Party." He enjoyed "socializing" with everyone.
