Baby Shower Registry List

Create your own:

Computer made

With the Use of graphics program found in your computer, simply make a design for

a Baby Shower invitation then print it out onto card or board stock. With this

option, you can send the invitation in an envelope or send without an envelope

similar to a postcard. Be sure that your invitation will contain all the necessary

details such as date, place, time, theme, who is it for, and the RSVP number. There

are a lot of websites offering free invitations that can be printed.

Velum Overlay

One sweet but very simple way of making a Baby Shower invitation is by using a

velum overlay. You can buy a paper style that attracts you; buy this along with a

coordinating ribbon at your favorite craft or scrap-booking store. Buy too, a few

pieces of velum. Working on the computer, write down any wording that you would

want to appear on your invitation then have it printed unto the velum. At the top or

the front of a craft paper, fasten the velum. The result is a cool and delightful

invitation that was also fun to do.

Baby shower/registry question, need your input and past experience….?

So I’m registered at Walmart and Babiesrus, and so far I show only one item purchased on my list. Do you think it is because the guests are buying other things or do you think they just arent “checking off” the items on the registry when they are purchased.

I’m wondering what everyone’s experience is because I received some baby money as a gift, and I’m itching to buy a couple items on my registry since nothing shows purchased and my baby shower is next weekend….but was thinking maybe people are getting stuff and just not checking the items off?

Whats your experience? What do you think?

best bet is to wait til after the shower to buy the stuff on your list, just in case.

mine is also next weekend and i am just now hearing of people asking my grandma what to get and going shopping.

some havent even gone yet and probably wont til last minute.

so its safest to just wait til the shower is done.
