Bridal Shower Wine Poem Basket

Hi Ladies! I'm putting together the wine basket with the fun poems about each wine bottle for each occasion. The last bottle is supposed to be champagne for when the couple is expecting, but I want to do cider. Does anyone have the alternative poem for this one? The original is:

The news that a baby will soon share your life will make you a mother not only a wife.
You’ll see it through good times and sometimes bad.
Leslie the loving mother, and Jordan the dearest dad.
Now Jordan must drink this one alone, and Leslie with empty glass.
Sit back and relax nine months they quickly pass!

Re: Bridal Shower Wine Poem Basket

suree! I love it. It's always a big hit when I see it at showers. Here it is:

Wedding Night- (white tulle)--Champagne

The night you have dreamed of is finally here.
The future surrounds you with hope and yet fear.
You’ve wanted so long to find your mate.
Sip this wine and toast this date.
The night is meant for you to share.
Enjoy each other a perfect pair.


First Dinner party- (gold tulle) -white wine

As you open your home to all of your friends to entertain and eat.
It’s a place for old friends to catch up and new ones to meet.
When the night is over two great hosts can share this bottle of wine.
But don’t sit down yet pull up your sleeves because now it’s clean up time.

First fight- (black tulle)-red wine

When fights occur as they sometimes will and tempers are steaming hot.
Pour a glass take a sip and be thankful for what you’ve got.
For in a marriage if everyone agreed it would certainly be a bore.
And by asking for my friends hand Jordan’s surely in for more!

Christmas Eve- (red and green tulle)-Beaujolais

A wise man turned to a friend and said wine is better than beer.
And now is the season for friends and fun and lots of holiday cheer.
So pop the cork and relax a bit and when the night is through,
kiss goodnight, close your eyes and Santa will be good to you.

First Anniversary- (cream tulle) -White wine

Tonight you’ve been married a year one wonders where the time goes.
No longer are you newlyweds, soon you’ll be pro’s.
I hope the days have found you both in good health and spirit.
Keep saying I love you one always needs to hear it.
Now toast this date known as the first but certainly not the last.
And as you build your future don’t ever forget the past.

1st Baby-(pink and blue tulle)-Champagne or cider

The news that a baby will soon share your life will make you a mother not only a wife.
You’ll see it through good times and sometimes bad.
Leslie the loving mother, and Jordan the dearest dad.
Now Jordan must drink this one alone, and Leslie with empty glass.
Sit back and relax nine months they quickly pass!

That's so cute!
But do people really save the wines? Not every wine ages well, and most people's homes aren't the best place for it either.

Re: Bridal Shower Wine Poem Basket

yeah I agree, I think its more for show

Re: Bridal Shower Wine Poem Basket

I did the wine basket for a friend of mine. Instead of just the poem (I printed out the poem and framed it) I also had my cousin, who owns a personalized wine business, make up labels for each wine bottle. On each bottle I put what that bottle was for with that part of the poem on it. This way if the poem ever does get misplaced my friend still knows what bottle is for what.

Re: Bridal Shower Wine Poem Basket

That's a great idea!!

Re: Bridal Shower Wine Poem Basket

The best I could come up with (but I'll keep thinking!)

The news that a baby will soon share your life
will make you a mother not only a wife.
You’ll see it through good times and sometimes bad.
Leslie the loving mother, and Jordan the dearest dad.
Even though she must toast with this Sparkling Cider
In nine months she'll have bubbly with baby beside her!
