You can keep some things secret to surprise her with, but today expectant mothers are involved in the whole affair.

Getting Some Ideas

When is this little bundle of joy expected? Is it summer, spring, fall, or winter? Where will you have the shower? Many hosts for baby showers are choosing to have them at restaurants, in a dining room, when all the guests are female. Holding the shower in your home, her home, or another family member’s home is still popular also.

If the shower is being held after the baby is born, think about including a picture of the newborn on the invitations. Baby’s face surrounded by a glittery, frosty snowflake, beautiful spring flower, gorgeous autumn leaf or a big, bright sun are perfect for creative baby shower invitations. Using one of these ideas will give each guest their own mini portrait of this beautiful child.

Are you holding the shower before the child gets here? Do not fret, you can use the same idea but insert a picture of the ultrasound or a picture of the expectant mother showing off her baby bump.

Other ideas include adding baby items. Booties, bottles, cradles, and buggies are still popular on baby invites. Butterflies, bees, baby animals, building blocks, balloons, angels, and the like are all great on that baby shower invitation.

Your wedding day was one of the most significant events in your life. You went from being alone and single to being married to man you love. Everything has been wonderful as you two have ventured forth in your new lives together. Then you find out your having a baby. How wonderful and exciting that must be. Who is throwing your baby shower? Is it a close friend or relative? Are you going to wait until you find out the gender, or are you decorating the nursery in non-gender specific colours? Making plans for a new baby are just as exciting as making your wedding plans. Some people are planning their own baby showers and some are waiting until the child is born. It doesn’t matter who is handling the tasks, you just want to make your baby shower invitation a keepsake.

Why is this so important?

Remember how your mother cried when she got her invitation? Remember how your friend Audrey displayed it in a frame on her mantle? These are the people, along with many more that are a big part of your life. Whatever happens to you happens to them. That is how close they are to you. They want to remember and celebrate every new step you take in your life, including having that baby. You want them to be able to display that baby shower invitation right alongside your wedding invite in their scrapbook or picture frame.

How do I start?

First you need a good guest list. If you are helping to plan your own baby shower, you know who to invite. If you are planning a baby shower for a friend or relative, have them go over the guest list with you so no names are missed, everything is spelled right and all the contact information is correct.

Now, think about the few other things. Do you know the gender of the child? How is the nursery being decorated? What specific items does the mother need, and what items would she like to have. Get her registered at a good baby store. If you can send registry information with the invites, then the guests will know what to buy.

Finding the Invitations

Once you have her registered, know the décor and colours of the nursery and/or the gender of the child, you are ready to shop for invitations. If the gender is not known, then setting a neutral non-gender specific theme is the wisest.

Now, check out the website. You are looking for great invitations that meet the theme or colours being used. You can choose from many colours with flowers, birds, butterflies and polka dots. Remember to order any other cards in the same design. If you are brave and creative, and want the invitations to be funny then you might try the DIY section.

Well, you just found out that one of your very, dearest friends is expecting. You are so excited for her. There will be a baby shower of course, and you want to be there for her. Well, guess what? You have been selected to throw the baby shower. You already have an idea what all it will involve, but don’t have the slightest idea what to do about the shower invitations. Here is a little help for you in that area.

7 Simple Steps

• Step 1: The guest list is your very first step. You need to have a detailed guest list. By detailed, we mean names, with correct spelling, correct addresses and phone numbers if you need to call them.
• Step 2: The head count is important. You need to go over the list several times, maybe even confer with one of her other friends or relatives to make sure you have included everyone.
• Step 3: Next, you need to think of a theme. Do you know if it is a boy or girl? Even if the gender isn’t known, you can combine boy and girl colours and themes or opt for pastels and neutral colours.
• Step 4: Get all your ducks in a row. Gather all your information such as your guest list, the theme for the shower, where the shower will be held, what the menu is and any other information you have.
• Step 5: Now it is time to look for those invitations. One spot you can look at is the website she got her wedding invitations at. Remember how beautiful they were. Talk to a wedding invitation specialist via chat, e-mail or phone. Since they offer the choice to submit your own text, they probably won’t have a problem printing up baby shower invitations instead of wedding invitations. Choose from pink and white flowery or lacy looking designs for girls or blue, bolder designs for boys.
• Step 6: Check out the DIY section too. This area offers you different shapes, styles and colours, with the décor left off so you can decorate them yourself. There are a lot of ways to design these cards once they are shipped to you. For girls you can choose lace, ribbons, buttons and bows. For little boys you can paste on foamy shapes of baseballs, puppies, bicycles or stickers with super heroes and sports.
• Step 7: Don’t forget the extras. Just like wedding invitations, you may need to order other cards to go with your charming baby shower invites. You will need direction cards so everyone knows where it is. If it is being held in a hall and a caterer or restaurant is providing the food, you’ll need RVP’s so you know how much food to order. You should also make sure you have registered your friend at one of the leading baby stores, and send out registry cards with the invitations.

You can create or order the most charming baby shower invitations using these simple steps. After all, this is one of the most important events in her life after her wedding, so you want it to be special and you want the invitations to be something the guests will want to keep.
