Invitation cards ideas for baby showers

Sending off adorable invitation cards that reflect the innocence of babies is the best way to kick off baby showers! As the first thing that the guest gets, invitation cards have a considerable role in setting the tone for baby showers. One great option is to hand-make invites. That way, they'll be truly original and reflect you. If you're purchasing invites, they can be either the type that you print off your computer, or traditional pre-printed ones.

All three are great choices. We'll take a look at what goes into invitation cards for baby showers. That way, it will be easier to choose or make one.

Some basics should always be present in invitation cards - the names of the mom-to-be & dad-to-be, the hostess' name, the time, date and venue of your baby showers. Even step-by-step instructions on how to get there (or a simple map), if necessary.

Request an RSVP. Set a time limit of about 2 weeks prior to the event. In the invitations, give the contact person's name, phone numbers and email address for this purpose. And then, be prepared for people who phone up on the day of the baby shower or not at all!

Let them know if you're using a gift registry.

Are your cards clear on who is being invited? Are you calling only the addressee or do you want to also invite their spouse and kids? This can vary from one baby shower to another.

Special requirements, if any, should be mentioned in the cards. Such as dress codes, anything the guests must do before the baby showers (for the games, etc). Clarity on every aspect of the event helps all the way.

If the baby shower is a surprise, say so in the invitation cards. Otherwise someone might call mom-to-be and take away the surprise element!
