Creating Baby Shower Invitations Is As Much Fun As the Shower Itself
The birth of a baby is one of the happiest occasions we can share with our family and friends. You will want to make sure that your baby shower invitations convey your joy and your desire to include everyone you love in the experience. There are as many types of baby shower invitations as there are types of parents, and planning and creating them can be great fun.
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. 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 can also go green by sending the baby shower invitations electronically. And, if you are of a literary bent of mind, the invitations can be worded with a poem. The poems can be silly or sentimental, your choice. They are a fun way to convey your friendship and love for the mother to be. 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. You are limited only by your own imagination. However, if you are either not of a creative bent or simply do not have the time, you can hire a calligrapher to prepare the invitations for you. 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. Also allow yourself enough time to prepare and send out the baby shower invitations well ahead of the 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.
