How to Design Baby Shower Invitations

When you have got it all planned out, the food, the decorations, the theme for your upcoming baby shower, it is time to make the invitation cards and distribute them to your loved ones and other guests who will add the fun in this memorable event.

When making an invitation card for a baby shower party, you have to consider a few important things in order to come up with the perfect invitation for your guests.

General Contents

The important things that a baby shower invitation card should contain are guest of honor's name, the date, time and place where the event will be held and if the venue that you chose is a little unfamiliar to your guests, add a thorough sketch that will guide them on their way to the place. These are the important information that you should not miss out when making your invitation cards and see to it that they are readable enough for the guests.

Wording

One thing to start with when doing your baby shower invitation cards is to choose the perfect words that will go into these cards. The wording is responsible for setting the tone of your invitation cards. If you have chosen a particular theme for your baby shower, the invitation card will relay it to the recipient.

When you have a theme to work with, it is much easier to deal with the right words in your invitation cards. For instance, fun themes such as fairy tale baby showers or diaper baby showers require informal and humorous wordings while elegant and adult themes require otherwise.

Of course, poems and quotes from famous people are also good options to consider. You can search the Internet or perhaps, if you have a couple of books to search for quotes. A few good lines of your own would also serve for invitation cards that would make it more exceptional.

When finding quotes, find the one which has a catchy feature that might be general or if you already know the gender of the baby, something that is gender-specific for a more elaborate one.

Another good idea is to use baby rhymes. These nursery rhymes such as "Humpty Dumpty", "Baa Baa Black Sheep", and many more add spice to your invitation cards.

Registry Of Gifts

Nowadays, registries of gifts are becoming popular because of the practicality and ease that they give to the hosts of the party as well as for the guests respectively. Of course, the mother to be would want to have things that she can use for taking care of her newborn baby and the guests would want that their presents be well appreciated and put to good use. These registries of gifts contain the list of the things that the mommy to be would definitely love to have as a present for the upcoming baby shower party.

Presentation Of The Invitation Card

Another important thing to consider is how the baby shower invitation card is designed and tailored to the theme (if there is one).

Presentation must be made in accordance to what theme has been chosen so that the guests would have a better idea on the gifts that they will give for the mom to be should there be no registry available.

For instance, if the theme would be that of a diaper baby shower party, then the best design is a diaper-like invitation card which implies that the gifts expected are things related to a baby's bare essentials such as diaper, baby lotion, baby powder, diaper rash cream and the like.

However, if you did not choose any theme, you can add pictures and other baby items that will look really pretty in your invitations cards. If you want to be gender-specific, the usual colors of blue or pink are used for a boy or girl correspondingly.

Making a baby shower invitation card is just a simple and easy task to carry out. Just let your imagination work, be creative and original so that you will have the best invitation card to entice your guests not to miss this memorable and fun event for you and your soon to be born little angel.
