Baby Shower Themes
Invitations are always among the firsts to set the aura and style of your Baby Shower party. It is very important that it communicates effectively what you want the guests to know regarding the details of the shower. Ideally, Baby Shower invitations should be forwarded 3 to 4 weeks before the party, containing the pertinent details of the event:
• Name of the guest
• Place (include directions or a location map when necessary)
• Date
• Time
• Theme
• RSVP contact numbers and date
Also, consider these additional tips
• Timing
Make sure that the invitations are mailed (electronic or postal) at least 3-4 weeks in advance. This gives guests enough time to organize their schedules and confirm their presence with you early. Sending out invitations in advance is also a sign of courtesy. It makes the guests feel that they are important and remembered for the special event.
• Theme
It’s important to make sure that your invitation suggests the theme of your shower party. There is a band of invitation themes that you can choose from. (This will be discussed later). You and your partner just have to be resourceful and creative in order to come up with a delightful theme. Consider also the gender of your guest when sending out invitations. For instance, a male guest will probably not be too enticed to attend the shower if he sees a half-naked pregnant mother in the front cover.
• Gift Registry
Include in your invitation the gift registry details if the pregnant mommy registered for one. A lot of shops nowadays offer cards that can be enclosed in Baby Shower Invites. You can also include in your invitations some other specific requests to guests, like a request to omit gifts.
Themes for Baby Shower Invitations:
• Baby Ultrasound Invitation
Take an ultrasound photograph the next time you visit your obstetrician, have it photocopied or scanned and print out numerous copies. Then put the Baby Shower Party information on the back of the photo.
• Baby Bottle Invitations
Buy petite baby bottles and pitch in some confetti inside. Use a suitable slender paper to write the details of the event. Roll up the paper, knot with a cute ribbon and put it inside the bottle.
• Baby Things Invitations
Invitation cards in the form of baby things like diapers or towels are charming. Pick the appropriate colors for your invites depending on the expected gender of your baby.
• Baby Bib Invitations
Creating an invitation card from a construction paper in the shape of a bib is wonderful for baby shower parties.
• Cute Animals
Animal images like butterflies, fuzzy puppies or teddy bears are charming to add to Baby Shower Invitations at all times.
• Noah’s Ark Invitations
It is an ideal and lovely preference for a theme when a mother-to-be is expecting twins.
• Bugs Invitations
This is terrific for baby boy showers.
• Teddy Bear Invitations
Teddy bears are always a favorite and you’ll delight everyone with this invitation theme.
• Baby Shoes Invitations
Tiny baby shoes are very appealing, a cute sign that a baby’s about to be born.
• Building Blocks Invitations
You can craft this by cutting out 3 cube shapes from 3 varied colors of construction paper. Draw 3 baby items such as a safety pin, diaper, or pacifier. (You can create your own). Overlap the cubes and tape all together. Then write the baby shower details at the back.
You can be practical as well as artistic regarding your baby shower and you can fashion it to be an event that guests will always treasure.

Unique Baby Shower Themes And Ideas?
I’m hosting a baby shower for my sister and I need unique baby shower themes. Something that’s chic and modern. I’ve been to a couple of Baby Showers and they all have games – any ideas of other entertainment? No strippers!?!? LOL! The game thing gets kind of boring and sometimes takes too long. Something fun for all!!!!!
How about an “Ode to Baby”. Everyone writes a poem or lymerick to read to the mom to be and the best one (either by vote or new mom) gets a prize. This could go well with a book shower where all gifts include a book and have a book theme.
You could do a scrapbook shower if the mom is into that. Each person brings (or you could make at the shower – supply the materials so that everything has the same theme and goes in a matching album) a scrapbook page ready for pictures to be added and you supply a scrapbook to put them in.
You could do a laundry/white shower. The decorations would be clothes lines and everyone bring detergent, hamper, hangers and whites (sheets, bedding, towels, etc.).

Good luck!
