Hi baby shower attendees!
I wanted to post some info about the Diaper Shower to hopefully make your gift grabbing a little simpler!
For our Diaper Shower, Amanda has registered at:
She is interested in doing cloth diapers – I’m sure she’d appreciate both cloth or plastic varieties and all the accessories that go with diapering!
Alphabet Letters!
Also, in your invitation, you got a card indicating a letter of the alphabet that has been assigned to you to get ready for the nursery. Our goal is to get all 26 letters of the alphabet for Jonathan’s wall. This might be confusing if you aren’t sure what I’m talking about so below are some ideas. You can go as simple or elaborate as you’d like – you can purchase your letter pre-made or create your own! Here are the “guidelines”:
- Letters should be somewhere between 8-16 inches in height
- Amanda is going with neutral colors for bedding so be creative in your color choices!
- Letters should optimally have only 1-2 colors each
Here are a few pictures that show examples of what we are trying to achieve:
Places to find pre-made letters:
www.hobbylobby.com and in-store
www.babiesrus.com and in-store
Small and large stores – you can find letters or letter “substitutes” (i.e. substituting a cross for a “T”, substituting a round object for an “O”, or substituting a horseshoe for a “U”) at most any store that sells gifts and gift merchandise.
Ideas for making your own letters:
Here are some ideas in picture and the web links for how to make these creations. Be creative – letters can be framed, painted, wood, ceramic, metal… find your letter within something… take a photo to represent your letter. Be creative!
Also, just google “Wall Letters” and your letter and click on images for TONS of cute ideas!
Consider doing something as creative as you want. Purchasing a pre-made letter or creating your own will get our alphabet all finished up. Bring your letter unwrapped and we will put them all on display during the shower. If you are not going to be able to make it to the shower, just give me a call and we’ll find a way to get your letter here for our display. If you feel doing the letter is just too much for you right now, please let me know as soon as possible and I’ll make sure someone else takes care of it.
Most of all, have fun and I look forward to seeing you on December 10th!

To make these cute letters, grab a block and paint in desired background color. Simply take a "wall letters" sticker with your letter and apply to block!
