The umbrella says it before the words do. A sage paper parasol, a row of pearl raindrops, a few cut-paper clouds: a sprinkle, not a downpour, and that is exactly the message when the second or third baby is on the way. The palette is calm and leafy, so it suits a mom who has done the big shower already and wants something quieter this time.
Type her name and the date, pick the place, and the card is ready to send to the handful of people who matter. It works for any baby, girl or boy, because the greens and creams do not take sides.
If you want the party to match, borrow from the card: a small table under a real garden umbrella, lemonade and iced tea, a cake with sage-green ribbon, and a basket where guests drop diapers and wipes. Keep it to one relaxed afternoon and let the umbrella do the decorating.
