Fun And Exciting Baby Shower Invitations

By: Dana Hall

Wording for baby shower invitations can be tricky, especially if you're not fond of writing. Because many mothers keep a sample baby shower invitation or baby shower thank you card as a keepsake, it's worth the effort to find the right words.

Always Plan Ahead

Baby shower invitations should be sent at least three weeks early to allow people to make plans and purchase gifts. Although etiquette books of the past have frowned upon including registry information on a shower invitation, it has increasingly become more acceptable. If you're still not sure or you simply don't have room to add it on the invitation, think about including a custom printed enclosure card with your baby shower invitations. The registry information can be printed right on the card.

Baby showers are not anything like as formal as a wedding, or even a baptism, so the form of a baby shower invitation is really a matter of personal taste and choice. If it is normal amongst your circle of friends to have formal written or printed invitations for a party, there is now reason why the baby shower invitation should not be subject to the same. Conversely, if you think it can all be arranged, with everyone being notified and attended, just by telephone and word of mouth, then that is fine also.

Using Your Imgination

In celebrating the expect mothers personality with your baby shower invitations, consider tying the party theme and invitations to mom's career. For example, a writer may be thrilled to have baby shower invitations sent on a bookmark, tucked into a small children's book. How about for the mom who's a chef? What better themed baby shower invitation than a little chef's hat with the party details on the front? With a little imagination, you're certain to conceive a baby shower invitation idea that will make a big impact.

If a theme was not clear after talking with the mother to be and other family members another easy thing to do is base the party on the season. For example a fun summer themed baby shower might be tied to ice cream! A unique invitation can be shaped like an ice cream cone again with the details on the back.

Another thing that you can easily add to a baby shower invitation to make it unique are little embellishments. You can find these in most major arts and craft stores. Possibly some ribbon, a fun stamp, wax seal or even a little trinket. Any of these ideas can embellish the baby shower invitation and make it really stand out and again set the mood for the shower.

Thinking Outside Of The Box

Remember, the secret to doing something uniquely is to do it away from the norm. The unique baby shower invitations do not have to be out of this world, your effort in making them different will show and everyone will appreciate the well thought invitations.
