A Very, Very, Very Special Request:
Your Handwritten Letter to Baby

You should have received an invitation in the mail that included stationary with matching envelope. Erica would appreciate each guest writing a handwritten letter to Baby Girl Manning (including from those who are unable to attend the virtual shower).

• You can address the letter with any term of endearment that resonates with you, e.g. "Darling Girl," "Sweet Baby," etc. (Erica + Ryan won't be revealing their daughter's name until after the birth; they first want to meet her before bestowing her with a name.)
• These letters will be placed in their daughter's baby book so that she can reflect, years from now, upon how she was welcomed into the world.
• Letters can be as short or long as you like. What words of wisdom, advice, support, encouragement or love might you offer Erica and Ryan's daughter? Perhaps it's a simple, yet impactful quote. Perhaps it's a story from your own life that might help her navigate her own life journey. Perhaps it's specific wishes you have for her. It's up to you. Enjoy the process.
• Please use the enclosed stamped envelope to mail the letter to Baby Girl Manning.

Erica values connecting with her friends and looks forward to seeing familiar faces, from near and far, at the virtual shower. While in-depth conversation with each person may not be possible during the shower, she wanted to extend the opportunity for a later time to those who desire one-on-one time.
