Baby Shower Invitations

There’s nothing more exciting than awaiting the arrival of a new baby! However, the excitement extends well beyond the expectant parents as other members of the family and friends will also be anxiously awaiting the arrival. A traditional way to gather loved ones to celebrate the pregnancy is by throwing a baby shower or baby sprinkle. 

What is a Baby Shower?

A baby shower is a party that allows friends and family to spend time with the future mom and parents-to-be and show them good wishes and love while “showering” them with gifts. The gifts will be much-needed as there are many items and accessories you must buy before welcoming a new baby. A baby shower is a perfect opportunity to receive many of the necessary items you’ll need for a newborn such as diapers, receiving blankets, clothes, and even furniture (don't forget to include all of these into your baby registry). Furthermore, you can come up with some awesome party ideas, theme your party, plan fun baby shower games, and offer sweet cakes, delicious food and other party items to make your day memorable and full of joy.

Baby Shower Invitation Etiquette

While there’s no set rule as to when to host the baby shower, many people like to throw them about 4 to 6 weeks before the delivery when the baby is due. Most people at least make sure the gender of the child has been revealed. However, some may wait even longer as the risk for miscarriage reduces with every week that passes. Also, waiting a bit longer can allow you to see what items you are still missing that loved ones can supply. Hence, when it comes to mailing out the baby shower invitations, be sure to send invites about a month before the party. This will allow plenty of time for your guests to plan to attend and shop for gifts. 

The guest list requires a bit more party planning. First, you will need to decide if it will be a female-only event, or if the father-to-be and his friends will also be included. For many years, baby showers were only attended by women but in more recent times co-ed showers have gained a great deal of popularity. Regardless of this fact, be sure to invite your closest friends and family members to share in the big day. If you’re planning the shower for an expectant mommy be sure to let her check and approve the final guest list in case there are people she doesn’t want to attend or other co-workers or friends she’d like to add.
