When it comes to throwing a fabulous baby shower one of the first things that sets the mood and style of the event are the baby shower invitations that your guests receive.

Invitation Ideas

Baby shower invitation ideas can range from elegantly traditional featuring lacy script and flowery verses to the more modern and techno looking invitations.

Coming up with baby shower invitation ideas can be frustrating but you can get ideas from books, old invitations, magazines, office supply stores, party planning stores, specialty stores, department stores and of course you can also get hundreds of ideas from the Internet.

More and more people are getting into stamping and scrap-booking. You can find some great baby theme stamps to decorate your baby shower invitations. Stamp pads and card stock come in a wide variety of colors.

Another option is to visit your local scrap-booking store and purchase baby paper and stickers. Decorate with stickers and you are on your way.

Invitation Wording

The wording inside the card should not only reflect the standard information about the event but should also help to set the theme of the party.

For a family where the arriving baby has older siblings, baby shower invitation wording involving those older siblings is a unique way to involve every member of the family in welcoming the new arrival.

The wording of the baby shower invitation should include all particulars of the event like the guest of honor's name, the time and date of the event, the location, the RSVP information, and whether or not the shower will be a surprise.

Also be sure to include any locations where mother and baby may be registered and whether men are allowed at the event.

Printable Cards

If you are looking for invitations that can be printed, there are stock images and free baby shower invitations that can be designed and printed using programs that you already have on your computer!

With the rise of home printing technology and the internet, it is possible to use free printable baby shower invitations that you can create and customize from the comfort of your own home and the only expense is the cost of the printer ink and paper.

With popular programs like Microsoft Publisher, Print Artist, CoralDraw and many others, customizable printable baby shower invitations are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to announce the upcoming arrival of a baby, whether it's a boy, girl, multiples, or a surprise.

Now with the click of a mouse and a good printer, you can design baby shower invitations to fit any style, from elegant and traditional to more modern. For those looking to save money, and yet have a beautiful invitation, printable baby shower invitations are definitely the way to go.

Invitation Inserts

Whether it's a map to the site of the baby shower, a sticker or magnet with a 'Save the Date' message stamped on it, Inserts are a fun way to make the recipient feel like they are getting their own baby shower gift.

Another favorite thing to do is to get a baby picture of the mother-to-be, have copies made and insert them into the invitations.

Baby shower invites are kept as keepsakes that guests will want to frame and keep forever - an eternal memento of the babies' first party.
