That does sound a little odd, as if there might be a medical problem with the baby. I’m sure they just meant to sound cute, and survival was the word they chose to make it rhyme.

That is odd but maybe they we’re just trying to be clever? Or maybe there are complications with the pregnancy or baby and this is there way of telling people there may be a problem? Who knows….but yeah it is weird.

That is odd.

I think it’s a weird choice of words personally, i think its odd that you would refer to a childs blessing as “survival”. maybe they were trying to be neat by rhyming but i agree with you. definitely odd.

Indeed it is a rather awkward choice of wording but I bet they were hard pressed to find a word to rhyme with arrival.
Just hope that the baby is a better poet than the party host!! hehe

Iy sounds odd to me

I agree with answer #1, it sounds morbid!
I mean, do they think something bad is going to happen at the birth???

It’s obvious she just wanted to rhyme “arrival” and “survival,” and she’s not very creative with words. Very poor choice of words.

I agree with you- it does sound odd. I’d be afraid to put something like that on a baby shower invitation. Makes it sound like theres a severe medical problem. I think whomever wrote it had good intentions, but yeah, it doesn’t sound good

Actually, even though it is phrased odd; I think it means that they want you to help contribute items (diapers, bottles etc) that will help Logan to survive! I just think they should’ve used a different word… maybe ‘beginning’ or something!? Anyway… no, you’re not crazy to take that so oddly!

Kinda weired. I think they were just trying to be cute and it came out bad. lol
tyfftaff

I don’t like it one bit!! It is morbid!

Maybe they meant to say prepare for Logan’s arrival and help his parents cope with no-sleep survival

Yeah, don’t like the wording they chose.

This does sound seriously weird. It looks like they were just trying to rhyme, but I wouldn’t want my baby shower invitation to say anything like that! If I was your friend I would be a little upset with whoever made the invitation.

It sounds to me like someone trying to be “cute” in saying, please come to my shower and give me lots of gifts. As far as the morbidity, they are either too naive to understand or they think is funny. In which case they are sick and greedy. lol.

LOL yes it does sound very weird.

Yeah it is weird. They probably meant it to be funny, but i don’t think its right to be so airy fairy when it comes to negative things. Especially not with a newborn.
