Lovely baby invitations for showers

Baby invitations should reflect the spirit of showers - the joy and expectation of the mother-to-be, the innocent lightheartedness of the little one. It's necessary to think through the kind of invites you will send out. They must tie in with your party theme, if you're having one. Since baby invitations are the first point of contact the guests have with the showers, they're important in setting the tone and mood of the event.

Hand-made invites are usually the best option. If you, the hostess, are game for it, go for it in consultation with the expectant parents. That's the best way to bring individuality to baby invitations and hence to showers. The flip side is that they do take some work and creativity (not too much, though!).

Here's an outline of the info baby invitations for showers generally contain.

Hostess' name; names of mom-to-be & dad-to-be

Date and time of the event

Street address, plus instructions on how to get there (the latter if needed)

RSVP info - name of the person to call, her contact details. And the date by which you're requesting a response

Tell them about where mommy-to-be is registered for gifts

Is the baby invitation clear on who is being invited? Do you mean to call only the person to whom the card is addressed, or also her spouse?

Is the baby shower a surprise? If it is, consider mentioning it, to prevent the news from leaking out to mommy inadvertently!

Mention it if your theme calls for special dress requirements. And also if the guests need to bring something along or prepare in advance for games, etc.

If you're pressed for time or for other reasons don't want to make your own baby invitations, there are excellent selections for showers available commercially. There are separate collections for boys and girls as well as ones that are suitable for both. You can also choose according to party themes.

Some of the best baby invitations for showers are the ones available on the net. There are basically two types you can choose from. One allows you to print invites off your computer. The other option is where you choose the design, customize the wordings, names, etc. Then the vendor prints it professionally and ships it to you.
