Create Your Very Own Invitations Or Purchase Them Premade
Invitations are by far one of the most important and vital parts of a baby shower. It would be quite difficult to invite all your guests without send out baby shower invitations. When dealing with the invites you need to be careful not to make mistakes. The information and quantity you order are very important. You want to be sure not to make or purchase too few or too many. Things may be difficult to plan if mistakes are made.
Usually baby shower invitations are sent around eight weeks before the event is to be held. This amount of time should be plenty of time to notify the invitees. You will need to determine the location of the baby shower and date it will be held. The theme and colors should also be predetermined so the invites will match. You cannot even begin to create baby shower invitations without this vital information.
A complete list of guests will be needed and it should be as accurate as possible. This is how you will know how many invitations you will need to either make or buy. You will probably want the mommy-to-be to check it as well to make sure no one is left out. Once you have an accurate number of guests, then you can start planning the design and where to get the baby invitations.
Remember that although you have an accurate guests lists, chances are there will be some people added so you may need to plan on a few extra. You may also want to buy or make the thank you cards at the same time to be sure they stay with the same theme as the baby shower invitations.
When entering all the information on the invites, you will need to list the location, date, time, and rsvp info. Registry information is nice to include for the guests as well. This will help the guests know what to get for the mom and baby without her getting multiples of items.
If the baby shower is going to be big, be sure to include an easy way for people to respond so that there will be enough food and refreshments for everybody. You may also think about including a small map and/or directions to the shower location. Especially if the event is at a home that most people are a stranger to. If you can complete everything listed previously, the invitations for the shower will be perfect.

Whether it’s a map to the site of the baby shower, a picture of the new little one if he or she has already arrived, or a sticker or magnet with a ‘Save the Date’ message stamped on it, inserts are a fun way to make the recipient feel like they are getting their own baby shower gift.
A fun RSVP card can get the baby shower fun started when your guest lets you know that he or she will be able to share the day with you. Leave space for a ‘helpful hint for the new mom’ or ask them to let you know what food or drink they would like to bring if you’re hosting a potluck. Don’t forget to provide stamped postcards or envelopes!
Since Verses and Rhymes is a good theme for a baby shower, why not include a line on the cake? Express how your future newborn is as sweet as the cake, or how much everyone is lovingly waiting for the baby. Mom-to-be does the honor of articulating the cake inscription before cutting it.
For winning games, contests or solving riddles, prizes can be awarded together with a poem about how remarkable the win was. The poetic party host can pronounce, in verses, how amazing the game was played and how miraculous winner won. Lastly, prize recipients can give their own "thank you" verse or two.
