The birth of a baby is one of the happiest occasions we can share with our family and friends. Baby shower invitations are one of the ways that we can convey our joy in and anticipation of the event to the people we love. It can be just as much fun to plan and prepare the invitations as the baby shower itself.
Many planners like to tie the baby shower invitations theme in with the mood and theme of the shower itself. You may choose to prepare invitations that ask for guests to provide advice for the expectant parents, invitations in the shape of a baby bassinette, bib or blocks. You may also choose to go green and not send paper baby shower invitations at all, substituting them with electronic invitations instead. And, if you are of a literary bent of mind, the invitations can be worded with a poem. Silly or sentimental, your choice. Either way, you can memorialize your friendship and love for the expectant mother in a fun way. After all, baby showers are all about fun.
You can also incorporate the interests of the expectant couple into the baby shower invitations. Creating the invitations can be just as much fun as the shower itself. Use your imagination as your guide. Or, if you are pressed for time or do not have much of a creative streak, you can hire a calligrapher to prepare the baby shower invitations. Beautifully hand written baby shower invitations make a wonderful keepsake.
Certain information should be conveyed by the baby shower invitations, no matter what the format. You should be sure to include the names of the expectant mother and host or hosts, along with location, date and time, directions to the shower location, contact phone number for responses and questions, where the expectant couple has registered for baby gifts, the party theme and suggested type of dress. Make sure you also plan for enough time to either order or prepare your baby shower invitations and mail them out well in advance of the shower date. The invitations should go out approximately two months in advance of the shower date and allow your guests two weeks to respond. This gives you enough time to invite others who may be on a back up guest list and provide the caterer with a head count or yourself with enough lead time to purchase and prepare an adequate amount of food and party favors.
Regardless of the format, baby shower invitations are an invitation to fun. Have fun.
