Tips & Warnings
Choose a decorative gift wrap that compliments the theme of the baby shower or if it's a boy, use blue gift wrap and if it's a girl, pink gift wrap.
You can also choose to print the wishing well label from your computer instead of hand writing it.
For a decorative touch, use a large ribbon to tie around the box (wishing well).
Encourage your guests to write down a wish for mom and baby and put these wishes in the wishing well.
