These baby shower invitations are the perfect way to get everyone excited for the mother-to-be’s celebration! Get creative and send out these memorable baby shower invites that will make everyone say “aww!”.
If you are planning a baby shower, there are lots of details that go into a successful celebration: the shower theme, games to play, food to eat, and gifts to give. There is one more important detail to attend to – baby shower invitations!
Few celebrations bring as much joy as a baby shower. The parents-to-be are excited (and a little nervous) about the future, the grandparents can barely wait for the big day, and guests are delighted to join in the excitement.
Here is everything you need to know in order to plan and send out creative baby shower invitations that will make lasting memories.
When To Send Out Baby Shower Invitations
In order to know when to send out shower invitations, you need to work backward from the mother-to-be’s due date.
The baby shower normally takes place during the new mother’s sixth or seventh month of pregnancy. This is when she’s likely to be feeling good and has an adorable bump to show off.
Shower invitations should go out about four weeks before the event. Earlier than that, your guests may forget to RSVP or forget about the shower altogether. Any later than that, you may run the risk of them already having made plans for the same time.
How Do You Make Baby Shower Invitations
Are you planning to snail mail invitations or go the digital invite route?
If you want to design and print physical invitations that you can mail out to invited guests, you can go to many different printing companies. Tiny Prints, Snapfish, Shutterfly, and other websites offer you the ability to choose from several pre-made design templates to create your invitation.
Shutterfly, in particular, has a terrific selection of sizes, styles, and colors to choose from. Pick a design, customize it with your style preferences, and have it ready in just minutes.
Shutterfly will even address the envelopes for you and will go so far as to mail them directly to the people you are inviting if you want. Plus, Shutterfly often runs great deals and specials on their products.
If you want to go the digital route, Evite has you covered!
Select one of their pre-designed invitations, add your baby shower information and the email addresses for your guests, then hit ‘send’. It’s that simple.
While the process couldn’t be easier, the one downside to the free version is that you can’t customize the look of your invitations on Evite the same way that you can with the online stores.
Evite also has premium invitations (for a price) where you can customize more elements of the invitation. Prices are based on the number of guests.
What do you say on a baby shower invite
Once you’ve decided on a theme and how you are going to send the invites, it’s time to narrow down all the information you want to share with our guests.
A baby shower invitation should include the following details:
- Parents-to-be or mother-to-be’s name
- Date and time
- Address (easy directions or important landmarks if possible)
- Theme (if there is one)
- Menu (optional)
- Where the mother-to-be is registered for gifts
- RSVP information
You can also personalize it with a cute little saying or poem on the invitation to share your excitement on your new little addition. Here are some ideas:
