Correct appropriate to give at a shower with a gift.

Quote from Doreen_137017 on Mar 31^st, 2011, 8:41pm:

Okay...I'm a bit confused now as to why there is this new category Occasions >> Baby Shower >> Twins

We already have:
Invitations >> Baby Shower Twins
Announcement >> Twins
Congratulations >> New Baby >> Twins

Isn't this last category the correct one, or should you be directing the customer to Invitations ???

I just don't understand why a new category unless I am completely misunderstanding what the customer is asking for...

Please advise Mindy

There are several somewhat related categories, none of which are new:

Invitations >> Baby Shower >> Twins
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/Invitations-Baby+Shower-Twins

Announcement >> Birth / New Baby >>Twins
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/Announcements-Birth+New+Baby-Twins

Congratulations >> New Baby >> Twins
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/Occasions-Congratulations-New+Baby-Twins

Occasions >> Baby Shower >> Twins
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/Occasions-Congratulations-New+Baby-Twins

Occasions >> Gift for You >> Baby Gift
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/Occasions-Gift+for+You-Baby+Gift

The first, Invitations, is pretty self explanatory and clearly different than any of the other categories above due to the purpose of the card - inviting.

Similarly the second, Announcements, is pretty clear as well, announcing the birth of a child(ren) which typically is sent from the proud new parents.

The last three are not as clear, but do differ in text/message although shoppers may use them somewhat interchangeably.

o A Congratulations card would clearly congratulate the parents on the arrival of the new bundle or bundles of joy and is usually given after the baby is born and not necessarily with a gift.

o A "Gift for You" typically has that message on it "Gift for Baby" or the like yet does NOT mention Baby Shower, can be given at any time (before or after the baby is born or even at a shower) and clearly accompanies a gift.

o Lastly the Baby Shower cards would be given at a shower (before or after the baby's arrival) along with a gift and function similarly to the "Gift for Baby" cards.

Clear as mud? Shocked

I'm totally confused as well. I started my cards the other day and came to check the post again before submitting the cards. Not only am I confused by the post now because of the catagories( I have twin cards in all those), but for some reason I made twin boy invitations! Shocked

No clue where I got boys from..maybe it's a omen!
I'm not sure what to do now.

I know this is late...and the question may have already been asked (and answered) elsewhere--but if there's a request in "New Cards" from weeks ago (like this one), are we still allowed to fast-track cards that we make for these categories (weeks after the original request)?

Thanks!

Howdy! Think I replied on the GCU Community for but to catch you here too...Yes, go for it! Although the shopper has likely already made their purchase or moved on. New cards for their consideration are expected within 48 hours.
