How to create memorable party invitations for baby showers

Well crafted party invitations will make the recipient eagerly look forward to the event! Let's take a quick look at what goes into effective invites for baby showers. Perhaps the best route to take is for you to come up with your own party invitations for baby showers. As the hostess, you can do that in consultation with the guest of honor. That way, you can jointly make truly original messages. Alternatively, there are excellent invites available commercially; including online selections.

At a basic level, your party invitations should radiate the spirit of baby showers - the innocence of the new born, the joy of the parents.

Some elements are obviously common to these party invitations. You'll always include the names of the expectant parents and that of the hostess. The date and time for the baby shower. The complete street address should also be included - mention detailed instructions for getting there, maybe even including a simple map, if many guests don't know the place too well.

Give the RSVP details (name, phone number / email address) as well as a time limit for their response (say, 10 days before the event) in your invitations. Of course, some people will never respond, but that can't be helped! If mom-to-be is making use of a gift registry for her baby showers, mention it.

It's a good idea to specify who's being invited - only the addressees on the invitations or their spouse and kids too. Specify dress requirements, if there are any. Some baby showers have games that call for the guests to bring something along, take certain actions in advance, etc. So those need to be incorporated into your message.

If the event is to be a surprise for the mom-to-be, it's safer to mention it in the party invitations. Else, someone may call her up before the baby shower and spill the beans unintentionally!
