Printable Baby Shower Invitations

Cathy Cripps

When choosing invitations for the baby shower, you want to choose designs that coordinate with the type and theme of the shower. Included in the shower will be all the obvious - name of the expectant parents, date and time, location, and a phone number should someone have questions or need directions.

Additionally, including an RSVP will help with the planning stage so this is always highly recommended. However, another important piece of information to include would be that of the theme. This way, guests will show up with the right type of gift or wearing the right attire. If the couple is registered at various stores for baby gifts, a note to this affect can be added to the bottom of the invitation or as mentioned, mentioned after the RSVP is received.

TIMING

The best time to send invitations out is between three and four weeks prior to the date. This way, the guests, especially those out of town will have plenty of time to make the appropriate arrangements. Remember, if people are coming from other locations, more time would be needed.
