Whatever you decide to say on your baby shower invitation, be sure to proofread your baby shower invitation wording and spelling to make sure that all of information is correct. It would be a shame to order and pay for so many baby shower invitations, only to find printing mistakes and have shipping delayed because of waiting for reprints. Taking time to proofread in advance is always a wise idea.

And if you’re not sure what to say, or if you’re not sure if information is clear or if you wonder if it sounds all right, then don’t hesitate to get a second opinion. Family and friends can help you, and many vendors will have customer service representatives standing by ready to assist with wording for invitations.

While you’re ordering or creating wording for your baby invitation, don’t forget to consider wording of your thank you notes! Often these are ordered at same time and made to match invitations. Again, your wording can include poems quotes, etc. and you will want to keep same style, color, or theme. Hopefully, you know mother well enough to know what her preferences are.

And if you’re not trying to keep baby shower event a surprise, then go ahead and ask her or her close family members about her opinions about baby shower invitation wording. She may appreciate being a part of decision making process, or she may be just as happy to have someone else make some decisions for her, so her mind can be on other important things, like preparing for new baby’s arrival!

There are also a few things you can do to reduce sensation of motion sickness, even when it has started. 1) Move to point of least movement. Try and sit in centre of plane or in middle of boat. On boats it often helps to lie down, although it might feel like last thing you want to do. 2) Sit facing forward. 3) Look at distant scenery. 4) Get some fresh air, but keep warm. 5) Avoid talking but try not think about your motion sickness. 6) Move gently, don’t stand up or move suddenly.

Sometimes preventatives don't work, so, particularly with children in your nice clean car, it's worth being prepared. Having been car sick into my grandmother's hat at a young age, as a child I was used to travelling with a quite frankly grotesque pink potty. Whilst this would catch offending substance, it didn't contain it particularly well, meaning having to stop car to remove contents and smell.

This wasn't too difficult in 60s and 70s, but with so much traffic now it's not always easy or safe to do. Plastic shopping bags offer little help. Designed to just about hold together for trip home, they have holes in them, which prevent suffocation but reduce ability to hold liquid. Another favourite, ice cream tubs work better than pink potty, but rely on child to get lid on without spilling. Unfortunately they are wide but not very deep making spillage a distinct possibility. The best option is sick bag, as used by airlines and ferries for many years. Sick bags work brilliantly. They are simple for children to use, they are deep so reduce spillage and top can be rolled down, retaining contents and smell. Some sick bags have a clip securing rolled down top and a flat bottom, meaning they can stand up on floor of car, further reducing risk of spillage.

As companies fight to bring costs of air and ferry travel down sick bags are handed out almost on an as needed basis. The days of accumulating a stock of sick bags from an air flight seem to be over.
