A Baby is Blooming bookmark design from the Baby Shower category of our Online Store.
The variety of baby shower favors available have to be among the cutest items ever made. After all, who doesn’t love a baby and all those adorable things associated with them? But how many of those adorable favors are actually items that will be used by the recipients? For instance, a baby bottle filled with jelly beans will most likely end up in the recycling can once the candy is consumed. Consider instead baby shower bookmarks for a thoughtful, useable favor all of your guests will appreciate. No one will toss out a laminated bookmark with a tassel, and everyone will find a book they can use it in, even if it’s just a cookbook!
Bookmarkers, when they can be customized, are also among the most unique baby shower favors, because they can be made to order and designed specifically for the special parents to be. Take for instance the example shown left, from an actual customer order from a few years ago. This design was custom made to fit their “A Baby is Blooming” theme. We added it to our regular catalog so that others could choose this design as well, and it has been a hit ever since. The customer who ordered this custom bookmark wanted “Hearts that Love are always in Bloom” on the backside, and we provided the flower pot clipart with heart flowers to fit these words perfectly. Others order this bookmark with whatever text they would like printed, and we alter the backside artwork as needed.
"God Bless Baby" bookmark customized with a photo of the expectant parents.
The special pink and blue twist tassel is a custom tassel we ordered specifically for use on baby shower bookmarks and is available as a color choice among our 31 tassel colors.
The next example from actual customer orders is our God Bless Baby design, with a photo of the expectant couple added. This couple did not know the baby’s gender, so the pink and blue color scheme was requested, and they chose our exclusive pink/blue twist tassel to top it off. Adding a photo to a personalized baby shower bookmark makes for truly one-of-a-kind keepsakes which will be treasured in years to come as recipients use their bookmark and are reminded of that special time.
Tomorrow we’ll continue this post on baby shower bookmark favors with more unique baby shower favor ideas from actual customer orders.

The Margareaders Book Club chose our Margarita design right from our catalog and cleverly personalized it for their book club members!
For active book clubs, having custom bookmarks individually personalized for each member of the group is a fun and useful idea. But what if your bookmark could also reflect the name of your book club? At Impressive Inscriptions, this is easily accomplished, with a number of options available.
You could choose a bookmark from our searchable catalog of over 500 designs and adapt it to your book club name, as did our clever customer who ordered their “The Margareaders” book club bookmarks directly from our catalog, where our “Margarita” bookmark is available. Because we make our bookmarks to order with the text customers provide on their order forms (at no extra charge), this is the quickest and easiest way to order laminated bookmarkers for every member of your book club.
Custom designed bookmark for the "Girls of the Desert" book club.
Or you could start with a blank slate and have us custom-design a bookmark to fit your book club name, as shown in another example from actual customer orders. The “Girls of the Desert” book club loved their colorful, unique design which fit their theme perfectly!
Or, you could go directly to our Readers & Book Clubs category where you will find designs perfectly suited for bookclubs. You can even individually personalize each bookmark for just 10 cents more per bookmark.

Welcome students with Back-to-School Bookmarks
July 28, 2008
With students heading back to school in just a month or so, it’s time to think about ideas to make your new class feel welcome. Bookmarks are appropriate because they promote reading and can be used throughout the year. At Impressive Inscriptions, bookmarks can be printed with any text (front and back) at no extra charge, and you can even individually personalize each bookmark with a different name for just 10 cents more if you want each child to have their own personalized bookmark. With or without tassels, these welcoming gifts show students you are happy to have them in your classroom.
Bookmarks are an appropriate way to welcome students to school, whether it's elementary, college or anything in between.
Bookmarks are also a great way for universities and colleges to welcome incoming freshman to their campuses. The bookmark depicted above from an actual order from a community college was printed with department phone numbers, help lines and useful college website links which new students would find helpful as they acclamate to their new school. The school’s logo was included in the design, and we used the school colors of black and red. Over 1500 of these bookmarks were given to incoming new students at this large community college.
So whether students are returning to an elementary school, college or any school in between, bookmarks are an educational and useful way to say “welcome to our school!”
