Need some wordings for your baby shower invitations? Here are some that I can think of. (Italics are my comments)

Title of the baby shower invitation:

  • Oh Baby! (Yes, there’s a pun intended)
  • You’re invited to a Baby Shower! (Simple and straight forward)
  • It’s a Baby Shower! (Yet another simple title)
  • Yeah Baby! (A hippy way to start)
  • Baby Cakes! (If you have a baby showers with tons of good food or you are just a good chef, this is a nice starter)
  • The forecast says there’s a baby shower on the way! (An intelligent way to start the title)
  • A baby is a gift from God (Nice to start with if it is a Christian based baby shower, and the pastor is coming!)
  • Come celebrate a gift of love from heaven above (Similar to the above)
  • Come wish [BABY NAME] a Happy Labor Day at her baby shower! (If you want to add the baby’s name, this is a good one)
  • Come wish the best of baby blessings to [BABY NAME]! (Another example of using a baby’s name)
  • Come celebrate the sweet miracle of adoption at [BABY NAME] Baby Shower! (Yet another example of using a baby’s name)
  • [BABY NAME] is doubly blessed! (Ditto)
  • Let’s celebrate [BABY NAME]‘s 3rd week on Earth! (Ditto)

 

Use these suggestions, I think it would be great for your invitations. I’ll be sharing some poems that you can use in the next post.

Hi, it’s been some time since I updated this blog. I have been away for a while celebrating my time with my family. The important thing to me has always been my family and we should cherish these times together. Now, let us look at a topic that I like to talk about and that is the language for baby shower invitations.

The biggest question that most parents asked would be: What is should be the language used for baby showers invitations? Should I use the language as would a mother speaks? Or should I use the REAL baby language? Well, depending on your personality, you both “extremes” can be used.

In view of the above, allow me to share some principles in writing your invitations:
- Avoid abbreviations: Spell it out, make it clear. Abbreviations can confuse your guests.

- Have specific gifts mentioned: Don’t be shy about it. Just tell them what you (or your baby) wants. It’s better to say it out when to realized that you have been given 5 strollers at the end of the baby showers!

- Have a RSVP, and be specific: “R.S.V.P.” is short for the French “respondez s’il vous plait” which translates to “please respond”. There are two ways to RSVP. You are to respond if you are attending, or respond if you are NOT attending. Some guests thinks that RSVP is only for not going, and so they ended up appearing at the party “uninvited”. So, be sure to write specific how they could RSVP. In short, write it as “Please RSVP if you are attending” instead of “Please RSVP”.

- Give a short programme of the party: This is prepare the parents on what to expect. If you expect the party to be 3 hours long, please specify it so that the parents can prepare 3 hours of stuff for their babies.

OK, that’s all from me so far. Be sure to enjoy the party!

FAQs About Free Printable Baby Shower Invitations

If you’re planning to throw a baby shower soon, you should be able to send out your invites a month before the event. Why do you need to do this? The guests you want to attend may have other plans and you need to inform them early about your party so that they can plan around the date. If you’re not keen on spending a lot on invitations, you can use free printable invites from the internet.

Invitations, although there are nothing more than pieces of cardboard with designs on them, are expensive. Try ordering from a site that sells these in bulk. You will be spending a lot on shipment and printing. If you invest time and effort, you may be able to lessen the costs. But before you go for a complete do-it-yourself, remember that designing your own invitations will also take too much time, and you may just end up with a collection of pixel images that wouldn’t look like a cohesive design. You can do much better using free printables.

What Are Free Printable Baby Shower Invitations?

These invitations are offered by websites in the form of templates. What you do is to download these and save them in your hard drive for editing and printing. Some templates are offered in direct print format (PDF), while others are offered as images (JPG or PNG) that you can edit using an image processor. Any image processor can be used, including MS Paint. You can also use Adobe Photoshop

What Are the Benefits of Using Free Printable Baby Shower Invitations?

You can keep the costs low because one download is equivalent to many printed invitations. As long as you have the ink, you can print the invitation over and over. You can also control what kind of paper you use to print these invitations. Use good quality cardboard, in your theme color: blue if you expect a boy, and pink if you expect a girl.

Why Are These Free?

You may wonder why some people are giving away free printables. This is because the printables may be a part of a promotion for you to sign up for more designs. The free ones may be the ones at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to design quality. These printables companies hope that when you enjoy their free designs, you may also want to use the premium designs, which are usually the ones that really feature the best designs.
