A Baby Shower focuses on the excitement of the mother to be as she waits for the arrival of her newborn Ideally, a baby shower is given four to six weeks before the mother is due to deliver. A lot of planning goes into preparing for a baby shower starting from baby shower invitations.
Decide on the date of the baby shower well in advance
To plan a baby shower, decide on the date and send out baby shower invitations at least 3 to 6 weeks in advance to give yourself ample time to prepare for it. Creating homemade invitations is a whole lot of fun and reduces the expenses. Base the design and idea around the expecting mother as she radiates with joy and excitement for the coming of her baby.
Homemade cards with a difference
Choose a theme or a motif that is in keeping with the occasion. Knowing whether it is going to be a boy, girl, twins or triplets helps, but is not necessary. Whatever you choose, base the whole baby shower around it, starting from the baby shower invitations, favors, the cake, decorations to thank you cards. Be innovative, unique and use details that will make your baby shower invitations stand out from the rest.
Tips and ideas that stand out
Several craft and supply stores store a host of embellishments and colorful glitter. Neon and quirky stickers and tapes are available at these stores. Use them on scrap booking paper to make stunning baby shower invitations. Use decorative punch-outs on the card and underline them with shiny gauze or transparent textured paper, which will make the baby shower invitations, stand out from the rest. Use your imagination and be trendy. Use stickers or tiny embellishments on the card, make patterns of card stock paper to resemble a hat or a carriage and draw a cartoon and write a funny caption. Use ideas from websites on the internet and introduce your own quip to make it that extra special.
Make no mistakes on the wording
That would be embarrassing! Go over the names of the guests carefully and make sure their names are spelt correctly. Write their names down on the line allotted to “name”. Write the date of the baby shower and the time you expect the guests to arrive. Do not forget to write RSVP on the card, as you need this bit of information to plan for the baby shower. Mention the registered shop where guests can select their presents for the baby. Follow these tips to make your baby shower one of the most talked about events in your neighborhood.
Some guests are not comfortable with being told where to buy their gifts. It would be a novel idea then to insert this strip of information with the local address and tuck it in a little basket, hat or small design sticker inside the card in one corner as part of the design.
