Baby Girl Shower Verses: Whimsical Touches to a Joyful Occasion

Getting the wording right on baby shower invitations and thank-you notes is not really that hard a task. After all, all you need to do is to write the date, place, and time of the party or to pen a few words of thanks to the guests when the event is over. But for a unique and more personal twist, why not try a more literary writing style? And if the shower is to be held to celebrate the coming of a female infant, you can use baby girl shower verses to emphasize just how special the occasion is.

Instead of only the usual “You are invited to a baby shower for…” and the like on invitations, try prefacing it with some baby girl shower verses. You may want to use part of the classic poem “What Are Little Girls Made of?” which goes something like “Sugar and spice and all things nice, that’s what little girls are made of.” There are many other poems for girls from which you can get excerpts to use in baby girl shower invitations. For instance, there’s a touching poem titled “When God Created Little Girls,” written by an anonymous poet. You can also consider verses from the song “Thank Heaven for Little Girls,” written by Alan Jay Lerner and popularized by the movie “Gigi.”

There are many, many poems for girls, as well as quotations, that can be found online or in the poetry sections of bookstores. Some nice quotations are attributed to Allan Beck (“Little girls are the nicest things that happen to people”) while some humorous ones were uttered by author Lewis Carroll (“I am fond of children – except boys.”). These are sure to bring a smile to guests who receive your baby shower invitations or thank-you notes.

It would be even nicer if you could write compose and write the verses yourself. You don’t need to be an award-winning poet to write a few verses. It doesn’t take a whole lot of effort to get some words to create a few meaningful lines. Whether you decide to use rhymes or not, the verses will be all the more special since they come from the heart.

Baby girl shower verses are not only for invitations and thank-you notes. You can also incorporate them into the party itself, by including them in the party favors or perhaps having the guests think up a few good lines that they can recite during toasts to the expecting mother and father. The arrival of a baby girl is just as special as the arrival of a baby boy, and it would be fitting to celebrate it with words that touch the heart and mind.
