Some showers have a theme; the gals at work had one for a friend that was 'bathroom'. Even the invites carried on with the theme - a toilet. Gifts were geared for things found or needed in the bathroom - towels, bath mat, bath supplies, etc.

You can use the Daddy Diaper Duty apron also as a shower gift, just put a tag on it that says...Roses are red, Violets are Blue, If you're not careful, this can happen to you. LOL I'm not the poet on this board!!!

Subject: Poem for housewarming

I was looking for a poem for a housewarming. I once heard a poem that had cleaning products names in it, then you gave the cleaning supplies. Can't remember it. Any ideas? You have helped a friend of mine several times, and always have such wonderful ideas. Thanks in advance. Diane

Here are two I have on file, but they are suited for a bride to be. I bet someone here would be able to convert them for a house warming. Hope it helps!


Dear "bride's name", You are entering a new ERA. There will come a THYME in your marriage when you find "groom's name" is not always MR.CLEAN, but don't send out the S.O.S. because he might VANISH. "Groom's name" will always bring you CHEER and you will find him to be your white DOVE. When you are together you will find JOY, so remember your PLEDGE and give him your ALL. To "bride's name" and "groom's name" the Best of Luck & Good Fortune in the years to come. And may "groom's name" always be your HONEY.


Dear "bride's name", It is only fair that we let (Bride's name) in on a little SECRET. (Groom's name) may be FANTASTIC but wait until (Bride's name) finds out that he is not MR. CLEAN. He'll expect her to be a DYNAMO in the kitchen and he thinks all women should MOP & GLOW. At night he'll wake you up at DAWN to SNUGGLE up close. We all AGREE that (Bride's name) and (Groom's name) will have a very happy LIFE together. Our wish for you is that your home be filled with JOY and you remain as happy as ever in the FUTURE.

We heard you were getting married
So we thought about a gift
A special little booklet
To give your husbands heart a lift
We tried to give the recipes
That would cause you the least stress
So Tara, here's your cookbook
From your friends at ITS

Poem: Holiday bridal shower

Subject: I need a poem for a holiday bridal shower

We have a group of close knit ladies (all very creative) that have at one point worked in a craft store together. One of the younger ladies is getting married soon and we want to have a shower for her that the guests will be assigned a holiday and make a gift for the new bride to decorate her home for the different holidays. What I need help with is a poem for the invitation. Some ladies paint, some sew, some stitch etc. I thought something like "Heat up the glue guns" and that's all I get. I would appreciate your help

Heat up your glue guns
Get out the supplies
We're going to give ...(name)
A lovely surprise
Each one of us will be given
A holiday theme for her shower
So fire up the brain cells
And stoke up your craft power
