Today everyone is into the “do it yourself” theme of doing things. The world of crafts keeps growing and growing. People are making cards and invitations as a hobby more and more. Therefore, what better way to get your baby shower invitations done for a party you are hosting? Sit down and do it yourself. There are ideas from simple to very complex. Take a look at the many sites on the internet today and you can even order specialty paper to makethem out of.
Once you have the date set the next thing to do when it comes to hosting a baby shower is to pick a theme and make the invitations. You will want something unique, especially the wording. Make sure you include the specifics though. The date, time, place of the party etc. There are many themes to pick from that you can use for the invitation only or carry through all the way to the party itself. Some cute unisex ideas are pandas, monkeys, bumble bees, baby footprints, any of the classic baby Disney or Looney Toon characters (or groups of them).
Popular and cute ideas for girls include ladybugs, flowers and polka dots. For boys you can try elephants, boats, football or baseball, and camouflage (especially cute if one parent is in the military). If you’re planning a couples shower you can go with any pair theme…such as Mickey and Minnie mouse or, Donald and Daisy duck. You could also personalize a couple’s shower even more by using pictures of the parents-to-be.
After the decision on the outside of the invitations, you have to consider the baby shower invitation wording. There are several things you have to make sure you include in your wording for the invitation. These are a cute verse or poem, the expectant mothers (or both parents) name, the date of the shower, the time of the shower and the location of the shower. Make sure to include the street address of the place you are hosting int. Include a name and phone number for guests to R.S.V.P to, and list all the baby registries that the expectant mother has joined. Also, make sure to include any special instructions you want the guests to know. This can include things such as a picture of themselves for a scrapbook or one of the expectant mother and themselves for use in a scrapbook. Also, make sure to include any specific instructions that may apply. such as certain items to bring for a wishing well or to put on a diaper cake.
There are many websites to get wording for your invitations from also. For example you could write your own (or use one you find on the website) along with the above information. You could also use something as simple as “Please join us for a baby shower honoring….” Just be sure to include the baby’s sex if you know it. This can be done in a number of cute ways and incorporated into the many poems available.
Spend a little time, do a little research and your guaranteed to come up a unique invitation. One as unique as you are and as unique as the mother-to-be-is.
