Frequently asked questions

What is a baby shower time capsule?
It's a charming keepsake activity where shower guests each fill in a card — a message to the baby, playful predictions (birth date, weight, future talents), and advice for the parents — which are then sealed away to be opened on a future milestone, often the child's first or eighteenth birthday. The appeal is how it improves with age: opening a box of messages written before the baby was even born, years later, is genuinely moving, and the predictions are good for a laugh. Set the cards out with pens during the shower, collect them into a box or large envelope, and clearly label it with the date to open. Add a newspaper from the day or a few small mementoes if you like, and store it somewhere safe and dry.
