Best Baby Shower Invitations Ideas for Baby Boy and Girl Showers

The time to choose baby shower invitations after the theme, color scheme (determined by gender if known), date and party venue are confirmed. The wording and style of the cards should reflect the style of the celebration and contain all of the important information such as the location of the event and other specifics that the guests will need to know pertaining to time, dress, gift registry information and any special requests from the mother-to-be.

To the novice hostess, this all many seem simple, but more experienced hostesses know that it can take a bit of planning to squeeze all those words onto an invitation while making sure that the card is so pretty enough for the guests to frame as a keepsake.

So the best baby shower invitations for one person might not work at all for another. Every body seems to put a lot of weight on the theme of the shower. Unless you are doing something crazy like combining a girls gone wild style of bachelorette party with the baby shower the theme of the invitations is the least of your worries.

Sweet Shower Invitation Poems

I'm forever racking my brain to come up with unique, tasteful and even unusual baby shower ideas, and it is amazing to me that year after year the most popular shower invitations and themes keep being reinvented over and over again.

There are always shower invitations printed with traditional baby motifs in some form or fashion:

  • Pink and blue diaper pins or baby bottles and rattles in pink and blue
  • Yellow and orange yellow duckies
  • Fuzzy pink or blue teddy bears
  • Baby Elephant theme shower invitations
  • All of the above in mint green if the sonogram pictures were slightly out of focus

If any of the above fits your idea of perfect baby invitations, a trip to the card rack at the local discount store or even one of those stores where you can buy everything for one dollar will get the job done. What you can expect out of this type of invitation is the basics and very little more. There will be no rich, creamy or luxurious card stock with custom graphics and envelopes that are worthy of the most high end stationery box. What you get for above would be baby invitations that are very little more than slick finish, heavy grade typing paper with a sufficient number of lines on the inside of the card for the very basic information regarding your party. These cards are fine for the hostess with an extremely limited budget and limited time to devote to the option of using free printable party invitations.

You might ask why cheap, printed discount store baby party invitations would be preferable to free printable party invitations. It’s certainly an option to make your own shower invitations for free by using online invitation form downloads. You can also buy and use one of the invitation software programs that will allow you to design and print your own invitations. If you have lots of time to devote to mastering new software and are comfortable coming up with creative wording for invitations either of these options for shower invitations could be the ticket. For the hostess with little time or with time that could be spent more profitably elsewhere, even a slightly more expensive baby shower invitation could be the better way to notify the guests of shower details.

If there is a whole covey of hostesses pitching in to shoulder the financial load of the baby shower, there might be available funding to bump your baby shower invitations into the realm of treasured baby keepsakes. Go to your local printers and price some custom invitations and stationery. Be prepared to face fancy fonts and elegant paper and graphics that will simultaneously make your mouth water and your head spin like a top. These are your high end custom printed and designed invitations that are destined to land in baby's memory box or the family time capsule.

These are not just baby shower invitations they are personalized baby keepsakes. This style of invitation is not what you'd want for a casual, backyard luau couples shower. If pearls, heels and formal day dresses are involved this might be the perfect baby shower invitations for you. If budgetary obligations are not an issue, go for something artistic and long lasting.

The most casual, least expensive baby shower invitations involved time the use of the telephone. Invitations issued by telephone will get the job done but it won't take the place of the fun of opening the mailbox to see colorful baby shower invitations inside, but if you’re running short of money and still need to buy shower decorations and cake this option may be the only one left to you. If that’s the case and the baby shower is a casual get together, you can make do with invitations by telephone. Make a list for the baby shower that includes the phone numbers of the guests and start dialing. Be warned that this method of inviting guests to the shower may be one of the most time consuming. Unless you have a run of calls that are answered by machines there's always the temptation of chatting with friends for a few minutes.

Bear in mind that baby shower invitations are merely a means of pulling together friends and family to celebrate the birth of a baby. The decision of whether to go with free printable baby shower invitations that you make yourself or invite your guests by phone shouldn't have any effect on the shower itself. Consider the time and money invested in baby shower invitations as frosting on the cake so to speak.
