Baby Shower Invitations - Tips and Ideas


Baby Shower Invitations Made Easy

Baby Shower Invitation Tips Baby Shower Invitation Cards are a time saver for the hostess especially when using an online service like SendOutCards where you do not have to purchase, address and stamp the invitations yourself. The cards are also very high quality paper and finish.

How many guests to invite: Usually you invite between 8 and 30 guests. The number would be arrived at by determining space available at the event location and what mix of guests are being invited (ladies, ladies and men, children).

Invitation Cards: This is where an online service really shines. You can design your own invitation or select from baby shower invitations already available. You select the card you want, fill in the time, date, place and other information and send it to all invitees with one click. You can create a group with names and addresses of all those invited. This list will also serve as a quick selection when sending out Thank You cards after the shower. The cost of each card is postcard ($.49), greeting card ($.98), and custom card ($1.47) plus postage. The card is printed, the envelope addressed, the card placed in the envelope and the stamp placed on the envelope and mailed for you all by SendOutCards.

When to send: The invitations should be sent out 3 to 6 weeks in advance. This gives your guests plenty of time to arrange their schedules, purchase gifts, and RSVP.

What information do you include in your invitation:

  • Name of the guest of honor

  • Theme of the party

  • Date and time of the shower

  • Location and directions to the baby shower

  • Name and address of hostess/host

  • Guest of honor favorite colors

  • Registry locations for guest of honor

  • Suggested ideas for gifts

  • Let them know if a meal is planned or refreshments or appetizers, etc

  • Decorating scheme of guest of honor

  • Be sure to mention if it is a surprise baby shower

  • RSVP instructions

If you know the sex of the baby, you can send appropriately colored and themed invitations.
