The Challenge: Most thoughtful way to use 200 characters to welcome a newborn into the world!

Even with the very best of intentions — finding the perfect words to define a moment is no easy task, right?

We know — as our business is all about providing thoughtful gift givers like YOU — the opportunity to gift a fully customized baby blanket — so much so — that’s almost like crafting the perfect Hallmark card.

But, luckily over the past several years — we continued to be WOWED with the variety of copy solutions that some of our ultra thoughtful gift givers (that truly have a God given talent to write) have crafted to best express their warmest wishes on their baby blanket orders.

So — thought this might be a cool forum to share some of those that have caught our eye (and hit a spot in our heart) + open it up to anyone else that’s up for submitting some great “words to snuggle and live by.”

The Challenge is simple:
You have 4 lines to work with — and 50 characters per line.  200 Characters total (including spaces).

Give it a stab — the more suggestions/submissions the better…

Best case scenario — this thread serves as a creative outlet for some and a source of inspiration for others!

So — hop to it — and FILL IN YOUR BLANKIE!

Here’s a cool idea! This customer even dated her personalized baby blanket gift…

I think many of us have a preconceived notion of a personalized baby blanket should look like. You’re likely visualizing a blanket — photographed from a magazine that says “Ethan” and underneath it — it might even have his birth date on it “03-02-00″ — right?

We’ll with up to 50 character per side, you can not only include their name and birth date, but actually go as far as telling a story along all 4 satin edges AND STILL have room to include the date you “gifted” the blankie. (see below)

So much personalization — there’s even room to date it!

Need help coming up with some creative text to add to your blanket?
We’ve come prepared!  Feel free to check out any of these sections below;

It’s a bird, no — it’s a plane — no, it’s a… HUSH LITTLE PUPPY

Brownie (the pig) has stolen the lime light for years. Pig In A Blankie this and Pig In A Blankie that…

Seems only fair to give his puppy pal — some well deserved props and intro every once in a while.

So — with no further to-do; we’re pleased to present “Hush Little Puppy”

Tonight — you’ll see this fluffy K-9 is sporting a super comfy “Hazel’s Pride & Joy” in Lakefront Blue.

As you can see — he’s dressed to impress and hopes to find a companion soon that sweep him off his paws and into their arms.

Hush Little Puppy - tucked in his favorite blue blanket — personalized with all the bells and whistles.

There’s nothing wrong with going down the path of “Tried and True”

Here’s one of our great blue Oskar’s Oxford Blankets - with medium blue thread.
It’s incredibly soft, incredible durable and a good conservative choice — that you can keep toned down with more “traditional” type faces (as seen here).

Or, it’s the perfect blanket to get a little more fun and festive with your thread and font choices — so that the copy just pop’s off the satin trim of the blanket.

Even safe combinations like good ole’ true blue (with denim blue thread) still packs a punch!
