Baby shower invitations offer your entire guest list a first glimpse of the event. Make a great impression by finding creative and unique baby shower invitations for your party. A great invitation needs to answer the important questions of who, what, when, where, why and how. Remember to proofread, proofread, proofread! Little details can be easily overlooked.
Who?
- Name of the mother-to-be
- Hostess name and contact information
What?
- A baby shower! This is a good time to designate if there is a theme to the shower. This could affect guests' attire or gifts. Be sure to indicate if the dress is formal!
When?
- Date and time
- If the shower has set hours, be sure to indicate. For example, if the shower is only from 2-4, put it down. The mother-to-be might appreciate a shorter time frame.
Where?
- Location and address
- If the shower is in a city, we also suggest including directions.
- For out-of-town guests, hotel or accomodation information could be included.
Why?
- Guests shouldn't have to wonder why they're invited to a baby shower, but just in case, information about the upcoming delivery could be included. For example, "Anne is due on November 20th. Let's celebrate!"
How?
- This is a good space to include any additional information, perhaps if guests are expected to bring anything in addition to a gift. You should also let guests know what kind of food will be served - a meal, light snacks or desserts? You don't want guests to leave hungry!
An example:
Baby on the Way: Let's Celebrate!
