I agree with you Shelly. I always iron my label to freezer paper than write. I'll put who its to, if for a birthday I'll write like happy first birthday Kerri a little note on it just for her (like grandma loves her little Kare bear, her nick name) and the year.
For a new baby I' ll put their name, day of birth, weight and inches and signed by me.
More or less I put a personal note on the back no matter what the occasion. I made a feel better blanket for one of my granddaughters when she had to have surgery.
