Having a baby is one of those wonderful life experiences that we cannot wait to 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.
One way to generate a sense of fun in your guests is to prepare the baby shower invitations along the same mood and theme as the shower itself. Your invitations can ask guests to provide advice for the new parents and be in the shape of a bassinette, bib or blocks, whatever you like. 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. And baby showers are all about fun.
If you know what the interests of the expectant couple are, you can incorporate them into the baby shower invitations as well. 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. A beautiful hand written baby shower invitation makes a wonderful keepsake.
Be sure to include certain important information on your baby shower invitations no matter what form they take. Include the names of the expectant mother and host or hosts, shower location, date and time, directions, contact information for responses and questions, baby registry, shower theme and dress. Also allow yourself enough time to prepare and send out the baby shower invitations well ahead of the date. You should send them out around two months in advance of the shower and allow guests two weeks to respond. Then you will have enough lead time to invite others who may be on a back up guest list and give either your shower caterer or yourself a head count.
No matter what form they take, baby shower invitations are an invitation to good times and good memories. Have fun.
