Take a look at ThingsRemembered.com and you will see a boatload of ideas.

My sister is having her 1st baby and we"re throwing her a shower in August. She is having a boy and I wanted to get her something special, and I thought about getting her a customized baby book with the baby"s name on it. I have found a couple of sites but their prices are way too high for me. They were like 100 dollars a book and that didn’t include the monogrammed named or any other customized stuff wth it. Does anyone know of anywhere or any site that does this for a cheaper price? Or any ideas on what a great. Gift would be?

I just looked over the sight a few weeks ago, and didn’t try it, but it sounds nice. The books seem relatively cheep. Hope this is what you were looking for:)

Mary typed a 6-digit number, but the two 1’s that she typed did not show. What appeared was 2005. How many different 6-digit numbers could she have typed?

There are 4 history books and 3 math books on a shelf. How many ways can the books be arranged if the math books must be kept together?

How many possible values can there be for three coins selected from among pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters?

Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman want to name their baby Zimmerman so that its monogram (first, middle, and last initials) will be in alphabetical order with no letters repeated. How many such monograms are possible?

The tips of a five-pointed star are to be painted red, white, and blue. How many ways can this be done if no adjacent points can be the same color?

The 2 positions for the 1’s can be chosen from the 6 spots available in C(6, 2) = 15 ways. Since the 2,0,0,5 occupy the remaining spots in one way, the final answer is C(6, 2) = 15.

Bundling the 3 math books together, we have 4 + 1 = 5 "books" we can arrange in 5! ways. Within the bundle, the 3 math books can be arranged in 3! ways. So the total number of arrangements is 5! 3! = 120·6 = 720 ways.

There are 20 ways to choose 3 coins out of the 4 types specified, and it turns out that they all have distinct sums.

This is the number of ways to choose a subset of two letters from {A, B, … , Y}, i.e. C(25, 2) = 300.

We note that the only way to do this is ABCBC, where A, B, and C are red, white, and blue in some order. First, we choose A in C(3,1) = 3 ways, then the unique point to be colo(u)red A in C(5,1) = 5 ways. The remaining four points can now be colo(u)red using the other two colo(u)rs in two ways. So the total number of ways is 3·5·2 = 30.

I am ordering a Zippo Lighter from Things Remembered (an engraving store) and I don’t know what I should get engraved on it. I was thinking a monogram, but than I figured that was too original and I wanted to get a cute little message on there that goes with the gift and love.. Something like, "Baby, you put the spark in my life". Anything would be helpful!!

If you really loved me, you would stop smoking.
OR
If I really loved you, I would not be encouraging your life-threatening habit by giving you this lighter.

We are trying to find out names for our baby…we don’t know what baby no name is yet…please help us out. I would like to incorporate Peter or Phillip for our fathers possibly. We are going to monogram our baby’s items for the upcoming baby shower, so we want a good combo. The last name will be an "S" THANKS!

I got one of those little sewing machines that does embroidery by a computer program from my mother, and I have lots of fun monogramming stuff. Most of my son’s clothes have been monogrammed, the little pockets on his dress shirts, he fronts of his jon-jons and overalls, the hoods of his coat, etc. I think its cute, and will make a good keepsake for him, but my SIL tells me that it’s such a snobby thing to do and to not act rich when I’m not. Which is pretty rude to say about a baby outfit.

Is it snobby to monogram things? Not all of his things are, just some of them. All our wash clothes, table clothes and pillow cases are too, from me learning to use the machine.
katerina: That’s what I thought.

i think its pretty cute, especially when they’re young. and on the plus side when he goes to school at least he can’t get his coats mixed up with his friends or anything. besides i have to say if i got a new sewing machine that does embroidery then i’d be using it on everything, i mean how can you not play with it. don’t mind her.

I am 7 months pregnant. I made a big mistake at answering the constant question "what are you going to name the baby?" I always answered "most likely Jude" or "probably Jude" but apparently if you say a name even if you add "most likely" or "probably" to it people tend to ignore that part. When people call me they say hows baby Jude or my friends will try to talk to my belly and say "jude! what are you doing?kick for me, jude!" When I come over to my parents, even though he is still in my stomach my parents say "Jude’s here!" Now every time someone says it or asks me about his name it just doesn’t sound or feel right. Elijah feels right. What if I change my mind? I don’t want to tell anyone the new name in chance that I change my mind again (i don’t think that will happen) but I probably should tell them I have changed his name because of the chance someone will buy me something monogrammed at my shower. Almost feels like it would be easier to leave his name the way it is just to avoid dealing with my friends and family’s questioning. What should I do?

Tell them that you’ve decided you don’t like Jude anymore. But don’t tell them that you’ve picked out a new name yet. That way poor Elijah isn’t stuck with a bunch of stuff that says "Jude" on it. My parents changed my name the day before I was born. It happens all the time.

Judy Zahrndt wants to name her baby so that his monogram (first, middle, and last initials) will be distinct letters in alphabetical order and he will share her last name. How many different monograms could she select?

The last initial must be Z. The other two letters can be picked in C(25,2) ways. For any such pair, there is only one order that they can occur in the monogram, so there are C(25,2) = 25*24/2 = 300 ways.

From the time I was a baby my parents have used a nickname for me. Some of my friends didn’t learn my real name right away because my nickname isn’t the typical diminutive like Beth for Bethany.

obviously for the ceremony my legal name has to be used. But I’m wondering what to do for monograms? ( My real name and nickname start with different letters)
And what about invitations? All of his family know me as my nickname, and none of our friends use my real name. It’s not going to turn into a case of guests not knowing who’s inviting them to a wedding, but I’m wondering if I should use the nickname anywhere?

Any brides or those with similar situation please help me out.

If you go by a nickname over your given name, and if everybody is familiar with that name, then use that on the invitations. You could also say ‘Elizabeth (Bunny) Masterson invites you to blah blah blah’ and put your nickname in brackets so people know who they’re being invited by.
If you’re one of those people with an unfortunately unattractive first name and you prefer to use a middle name or nickname, then by all means do so. Nobody is forcing you to put Zonzabelle on invitations if everybody knows you as Elli. You’ll only need such things on the legal documentation.
As for monograms, you can elect to just use one letter (your last name), or you can decide what you like best and use more frequently. My nickname and given name don’t start with the first letter, either, and I typically only use my full given name on documents. When I do monogrammed things like stationery or towels I generally use the first letter of my given name simply because it’s more attractive in cursive.
Pick the letter that you think is prettier when written out. An R could be made a lot fancier than an O, for example.
That said, by the time all is said and done, most people will have heard your full name at one point or another.
In short, use whatever you feel most comfortable with. You won’t be judged one way or another. If I put my full name on invitations I don’t think anybody would know who they were coming from! As for the monograms, I DO use the first letter of my given name.
