Baby Shower Invitation Wording - The Essentials

There are many that may fold at the thought of drafting their own baby shower invitation wording, but that need not be you. Keep the task simple, and manageable. What you'll achieve is a truly unique invite that can be claimed by your guests of honor as their own. Here are a few tips that you may find helpful.

First of all, the bulk of your baby shower invitation wording consists of the obvious particulars, namely, answering the questions: a shower for Who, When will the event occur, Where the event will take place, baby registry and RSVP info. It would be best to confer with the guests of honor, even discreetly, to establish this info.

Baby

Once the previous items are outlined, you'll move on to baby shower invitation wording that provides the "OOMPH" in personalizing the invite. It is best to have a theme already established; here is where you'll have creative license. A simple 2-4 line poem is what you're shooting for, consider a haiku format or the help of Dr. Seuss if you're needing a whimsical tone. If you need a creative boost use the internet, and other resources that relate to the theme.

Finally, the design and format of the invitation helps package everything nicely. Your word processor can accomplish this task, or designate that to your local or online stationers. Be mindful that the design of the invite provides a visual on the theme and may also include a photo of the parents-to-be. Knowing that this will serve as memorabilia for the family, this component is the "nice touch" that can secure a few "OOHS and AHHS" from its viewers.

Baby

You can narrow down your list of themes by knowing if the baby is going to be a boy or a girl (though this can be difficult since many moms-to-be prefer not to know their child's gender until birth).

This can really be anything and many popular themes include: Diapers, Noah's Ark, Nursery Rhymes, Zoo (Baby Animals), Sports, Cars, Wizard of Oz, Baby Needs, Rubber Ducks, Smart Baby, Retro (Vintage) Baby, Holidays, Locations and many others make great ideas. One important thing to note when using a baby shower theme is that it is important to let your guests know what your theme is so that they can prepare their gifts accordingly.

Some games might include: Bingo, Baby Name games, Nursery Rhyme Quiz, Draw a Guest, Word Scrambles, Celebrity Moms and Dads, Baby Jeopardy.

Decorations

Baby shower decorations should be simply once you have decided on your theme.

Many of these items won't break your budget and can be found at many retailers in your area that focus on party supplies.

Party Favors
