Personalization is key. Use to be just for thank you cards, now Nike is doing it and even bobbleheads are doing it! So when it comes to planning every detail for a mom-to-be’s special day, I like guests to take home something that will remind them of her.
Last year, I planned a shower for a friend, who has a penchant for making much talked about chocolate chip cookies. I knew everyone would really appreciate the recipe, but not so fast – the recipe is a secret!
I got around this by gifting the dry ingredients in cellophane bags, and tying a ribbon around them. Even though this was a very personal gift, I didn’t stop there.
I made these flower tags (cut from my own pattern on scrapbooking paper) with a picture of a pregnant silhouette (googled pregnant lady) ready to do battle with her hand mixer. When you pull the leaf out, there’s a simple explanation of why this gift and also, the list of wet ingredients to be added with baking instructions.
I loved it, the mom-to-be loved it, and the guests raved at how ingenious the tag was!
So, tag, you’re it. Make it personal.
Ciao Bella!
