Baby Shower Invitations
Baby shower invitations come in all sorts of colors and themes. You can order very fancy ones, or you can create your own from items you buy separately or in a kit.
Some people worry about the wording. Should the mom and dad be listed, or just the mom? Should registry information be included or not? Since there's no clear answer, it's mostly a matter of taste. However, every invitation should include the name of the person being honored, the date, the time, and the place.
There are even ways to send out free invitations. Most sites like Yahoo! and AOL have free e-cards, and it's become popular to send these instead of regular ones. Most people still like to send the invitations through the mail, however, and a lot of people are looking for unique invitation ideas.
Mass produced invitations are fine, however, it's easy and fun to make yours unique. The following are some unique things that you can make your invitations out of:
- Diapers
- Small t-shirts
- Booties
- Bottles
Rattles
This list is by no means complete. You can use almost anything else you can think of. To create invitations out of these items, simply write the information on the item with permanent ink, or place a tag or sticker with the information on the item. For extra fun, you can encourage your guests to decorate there own and bring them to the party to present them to the mom-to-be. It is easy to create invitations with most computer software.
Ribbon, stickers, or pictures can be added for a personal touch. If the mom-to-be has a particular theme in mind for the nursery, it is simple to buy invitations that include the theme or colors of her choice. Just remember that if you decide to go with a unique idea extra postage may be needed, so do not forget to include it in your budget.
