Confused by the many options of invitations? Don’t know style or design to select? Keep in mind to use as your guide the theme of your party. Is the baby shower a formal affair or is it a simple gathering? If you are planning a jungle themes party, you could select an invitation with animals and a jungle print. If you are planning to decorate with angels, try selecting an invitation with angels and other heavenly themes. If you do not have a theme for your party, you can choose an invitation with a general baby theme — designs like baby bottles, babies, animals stars, rattles, cartoon characters, etc.
Once you’ve decided on what type of baby shower invitation to get, place your order. As soon as you get the invitations, begin filling them out. Don’t forget to include the following information: Name of the guest of honor, date of the party, time of the party, address of where the party will be held, if it will be a surprise party, the RSVP date, and a phone number or return card. Be accurate as to the details of the shower so as to avoid confusion.
If you are sending out the invitations yourself, mail them at least 4 – 6 weeks before the shower. However, if you are inviting guests from out-of-town, send the invitation 8 – 12 weeks in advance. It is also nice to include a direction or a map to the location of the event.
Make the invitation as attractive as can be. It is an affair celebrating the arrival of your baby — you’ll want it to be special.
If you are the crafty or creative type, you can always make your own invitations. Pick up ideas from relatives, your friends, books or even the Internet. Making your own baby shower invitation adds a personal touch to the affair.
Baby shower invitations come in a variety of designs and styles. Select the one that reflects you best!
