Give One Bootie at the Wedding Shower, One at the Baby Shower
When going to a wedding shower, I purchase 2 sets of booties. I nicely wrap 1 blue bootie, and 1 pink bootie. I wrap the 2 booties and put a note in the box. I do not sign the card. The note reads something like this.
Will it be a boy, or
Will it be a girl?
Invite me to your baby
Shower and you will get
The 2nd bootie at that time.

I have even gone to another city and had it mailed to the address on the RSVP, just so the bride has no idea where it came from. Hard to keep it a secret, but it gets everyone wondering "who sent it". That really throws everyone off.
