for making great invites. But it is easy to get the design part right,

This page
is about the information you must include in an invite. I've covered
the important points here. And I'll also show you where you can get
more inputs for formal invitations for baby showers.
- Some
amount of essential information will always go into all invitations for
baby showers - names of the expectant mom & dad, name of the
hostess.
- The
date, plus time and location. If the venue is not very well known to
some of the guests, the formal invitation should include fairly
detailed instructions for reaching the place. You might also want to
include a map (avoid photocopied sheets - have the map printed on the
invite).
- It's
a great idea for a formal invitation to be specific about who is being
invited. Depending on the kind of baby showers you plan to host, you
might want to call only the person you're addressing the card to, or
may want to include her spouse (for co-ed showers).
- Spell
out the RSVP details. Do you want 'regrets only' or would you prefer
that guests call up and confirm their attending? The latter is probably
a better choice when sending invitations for baby showers. But you
might choose the first option as well.
- Decide
how you want to handle questions about gifts. One way is to tell guests
about where mommy-to-be is registered when guests call up to RSVP. Or
you can consider including the registry details in the invitations for
your baby shower.
- If
you're planning surprise celebrations, let the guests know in the
invitations. You don't want someone phoning up mommy ahead of the baby
showers and spoiling the show!
- Your
party theme might call for a dress code - mention this in your formal
invitations. Sometimes the guests need to prepare in advance for a baby
shower game, etc, which you'll want to highlight in your card.
