How To Write A Baby Shower Invitation
Do you want some creative baby shower invitation wording? Okay, the first thing you need to do is to sit down and think about who to be invited.
Have a conversation with the mom-to-be and decide the guest list. Or if your shower is a surprise one, phone up her close friends and relatives for the information about whose faces she would be happy to see.
Already have the answers? Great, finish your guest list, and we can start writing unique baby shower invites.
Baby shower theme sets the tone for the special event. So, the easiest approach is to have the wording reflect your shower themes.
For example, here is an idea for Winnie The Pooh baby shower invitation wording: "Mama Pooh, Daddy Pooh and what... a new Baby Pooh is on the way in the Smith Den! Celebrate the entire Smith family for their new arrival!"
You can easily change it to fit any other cute themes that use words like "Bear", "Duck", "Snoopy", and "Frog" to replace the "Pooh". The ideas are endless.
If your theme is holiday or special occasion, there are so many free baby shower invitation verses on the internet.
Let's say you're making a Halloween baby shower invitation, type something like, "Soon the Frost will be on the Pumpkins! We have been waiting so long, and now we have a new little one coming to our Patch! Proud Parents: Tina & Fred. Our little Punkin' is expected on December 11, 2005."
If you don't have a theme, no worries - it can't be more appealing to use those infant essentials in your invitation wording, like "Bottles & bootties, diapers & pins, Bibs and More. This is where the love begins!"
And use a cursive writing for an elegant theme, or use a sillier, cutesy typing for a funny shower invite.
It's always good enough that simply tell people it's a shower for baby girl or baby boy. If you want to reflect the baby's sex on the invitations, the basic rule is to use pink ink for the girl or blue for the boy for the printing.
If the soon-to-be-parents don't want to find out the baby's gender before it is born, you can write the baby shower invitation verse like this, "A new baby is almost due, we don't know if it's pink or blue, Heather Shirley can hardly wait, please join us as we celebrate..."
How about the new mom is having twins? First, double congratulations to your friend!
As this double happiness deserve double baby gifts, type your baby shower invitation wording with a lot of "Two" and "Double", such as "Two by two...here they come! Stacy's having twins boys. Double the diapers, double the pins, double the fun! We all two happy two have to you here!"
Or even place two socks or shirts in each envelope - so everyone knows this is a twin baby shower. You can use the same techniques for baby triplets or even more babies!

Hollywood Promotes Health Care Reform; Will It Work?
After months of debate over healthcare reform, celebrities have entered the fray. Actress Heather Graham, best known for movie roles like The Hangover and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, has joined with liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org to create a viral video supporting the public option. Hollywood and progressive causes have gone hand-in-hand for decades, but this level of involvement during an election off-year is unusual. The ad is currently set to air on several national cable networks, with a six-figure production and advertising budget. Marketing and public relations have played a big role in affecting the views of the American people on this issue. Will this ad actually succeed in convincing people to pressure politicians with phone calls and emails?
The minute-long commercial takes place on a running track, and portrays the major for-profit insurers as gluttonous sloths who have literally become bloated from unfettered health care profits. Graham, by contrast, is the sexy and slim public option that leaves United Health, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, and CIGNA in the dust. This is a clear metaphor for the idea that a public option would use the immense size of its insurance pool and lack of profit motive to drive down medical costs. Striking cinematography is combined with an emphatic male voice-over claiming that 70% of Americans have expressed support for a government-run public health insurance option. (While recent figures are not that high, polls from October 2009 do indicate that a majority of respondents are in favor of the public option.) As usual in political ads, opponents are painted negatively; in this case, they are whiners afraid of competition.
There are several inherent dangers involved in using this strategy. While Americans have been accused of being obsessed with fame, will they really trust health insurance advice from someone who starred in Boogie Nights? Moreover, Graham in particular has played quite a few ditzy roles in her career, which will make it harder for her to be a legitimate voice on health care reform. (For example, Tom Hanks would probably more convincing in this type of advertisement, even though he may not be any more knowledgeable on the topic, since he is often a steady, reassuring presence in his roles.) Even though she didn't write MoveOn's script, her presence could trivialize the issue altogether.
Another problem for those behind this ad is that it effectively plays into stereotypes of the "limousine liberal elites" on the coasts looking down on the rest of America. The motif of overweight insurers is instantly comprehensible, but possibly not the best choice in a nation where about half the population is either overweight or obese. As a result, some viewers will better relate to those characters and their current private system of individual health insurance than the beautiful Hollywood starlet and her unknown public option. Healthcare reform opponents will run with this in order to decrease support for a public option. The involvement of MoveOn, an organization involved in several partisan controversies in the past, will also draw the ire of conservatives. The impact of this particular ad is doubtful, except for its strong chances of intensifying the political war over health care.
