My sister is having her first baby and she lives in Alaska. We want to hold a baby shower for her and she will not be able to attend. Because of the cost to ship things to Alaska we were thinking about doing a gift card baby shower and having people put on the gift card what they would like it to be used on. What are your thoughts and how do I word the invitation?
Answer
The gift cards are a good idea but maybe you could give people a few options. When I was in the Army and had a birthday, holiday or other gift giving event I could not be there for in person, I would think up creative ways to get the gift I wanted to give to the person it was for. One idea was to call a store local to the person and purchase the gift over the phone with a credit card. I did this for my sister once. I called Peir 1 Imports and bought her a papasan chair and stool and I wouldn't tell her what it was. She had to wait until her birthday and go to the store to pick it up. The store agreed not to release it to her until then.
Another idea is mailing a gift card along with a catalogue or clippings of the item you want them to purchase for themself. I did this one year for Christmas presents for my family members.
Also, it's great that you are hosting a shower for your sister but she may be really sad she can't be there for it. Maybe you could have someone video tape all the guests wishing her well and send the tape in a box along with a few party favors, hats, balloons, and other misc things from the shower - sort of a shower in a box. That would be really sweet.
WHatever you do I'm sure your sister will appreciate it. Good for you for being such a great sister! Cheers!
