Different Kinds of Baby Shower Invitations

With baby shower invitations, you can choose from elegant designs to one that you write the information on yourself.

You can choose wild and funny invitations that will bring a smile to the face of each person you invite.

Most invitations reflect the theme of the baby shower, but they must give all the details of the place and time.

Although you can telephone all the guests you want to invite, receiving an invitation seems to make the event more personal and it is unlikely they will forget to attend.

Etiquette of sending out invitations

You should send out the invitations for the shower at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance for any out-of-town guests you want to invite.

For local guests you only need to send them out about 1 or 2 weeks before the shower. This gives them enough time to get a gift if they plan to attend.

. In general, you don't put a reply card in with a shower invitation unless you are being really extravagant and are having the event catered. Most showers just have finger foods and the guests always bring along sandwiches, cookies and desserts, so there will be more than enough food for whoever comes.

Planning the Baby Shower

When planning a baby shower, you have to do several things, such as:

• Arrange for the location and the time
• Prepare the guest list
• Decide how you will do the inviting
• Getting the decorations in order
• Planning a list of games you will have by brainstorming ideas
• Buying and wrapping the prizes
• Enlisting the help of others for serving
• Baking and decorating the cake
• Have a special chair for the mother-to-be to sit in while the gifts are being opened.

On the day of the shower or the day before, you have to decorate the room where it will be held and double check to make sure you have enough prizes for all the games.
