Guide to crafting unique invitations for baby showers

Making your own unique invitations is a great way to bring originality to your baby showers. Much better than pre-printed varieties you can pick up at stores. And it is quite easy to make unique invitations for baby showers. There are some simple guidelines to keep in mind.

You can either hand-make your invites yourself - this actually gives the best results, something completely original. Alternatively, you can buy customized invites from stores (online / local). The customized kind does give you truly unique invitations for baby showers.

It is best to look at exactly what you should cover when creating wordings for your unique invitations. What follows are some of the basics. Mention names of the expectant parents & the hostess, date, time, venue of the baby shower. You can even include a simple map, if many people don't know the place.

When making invitations, clarify who is invited to the baby shower. Sometimes it is just the person to whom the invite is addressed; in other situations, the hostess means to include their spouse & kids as well.

Mention RSVP information - contact person, phone number / email address. Request a response around two weeks before the event, when writing out your invitations. Of course, many people just turn up for the baby showers, without responding at all!

You can also include gift registry details in your invitation, if mommy-to-be is registered. This is fine, because baby showers are considered fairly informal occasions. Alternatively, you can tell them on the phone, when they ask about it while calling to RSVP.

Do say so in the invite if the event is planned as a surprise. You don't want someone receiving your invitation and immediately phoning the mom-to-be - well before the baby shower!

If there are any special requirements, include those when writing your unique invitation. Like dress requirements to tie in with party themes, any actions the guests must take in advance for playing baby shower games, etc.
