Ideas of Quotes for a Baby Shower

Baby showers are such joyful events. They need equally happy and profound quotes to go along with them. Here are some suggestions:

For the sentimental, go for the standard: "A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on."
-- Carl Sandburg
This quote is often-used, but provides good insight and food for thought.

For the humorous, try this one: "A baby usually wakes up in the wee-wee hours of the morning."
-- Anonymous
This one is so true! There will be many diaper changes in the middle of the night for the parents to be. It's humorous without being too over-the-top.

For a combination of humor and sentiment: "A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for."
-- Anonymous
It contains true statements, but also ones that make you think too.

For an inkling of what's to come for the new mom: "Child rearing myth #1: Labor ends when the baby is born."
-- Anonymous
The new mom will laugh, but all the guests will wink knowingly. But the best is yet to come!

For a co-ed shower: "Having a baby is like falling in love again, both with your husband and your child."
-- Tina Brown
There is nothing more tender than seeing your spouse interact with your precious new bundle.

For the baby shower at which educational gifts (such as books) are requested: "I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt
If a child is curious, the parents properly direct that curiosity, and give the child resources, that child can grow up to do great things.

For the shower for the first time mom: "Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
-- Elizabeth Stone
Once you have a child, your world changes. Mothers who have had previous children understand this. The first-time mother hasn't yet experienced it, so this may be an appropriate quote for her.

For the "diaper" baby shower at which only diapers are given: "No one likes change but babies in diapers."
-- Barbara Johnson
So appropriate! Add a cute little diaper graphic to this quote, and your invitations are set for the diaper baby shower.

For the philosopher parent: "If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle."
-- Vincent van Gogh
How beautiful! How poetic! How appropriate for a baby shower for the person in your life who's a deep thinker.

For any baby shower: "Loving a baby is a circular business, a kind of feedback loop. The more you give the more you get and the more you get the more you feel like giving."
-- Penelope Leach
Babies inspire love, both from their parents and other people, which is why the baby shower is being given in the first place.

Whatever quote you choose, have a great time at the baby shower!
