When you are throwing a baby shower for a family member or friend, you should ensure that you create baby shower invitations which reflect the tone and theme of the event. Creating your own baby shower cards allows you to make personalized baby shower invitations that the guests will hold on to as keepsakes long after the baby shower is over. You should try and create baby shower invitations that both the guests and the guest of honor (mother-to-be) will love.
Easy Steps to Create Baby Shower Invitations:
Step 1
Together with the mother-to-be, brainstorm ideas and discuss a party theme for the baby shower invitations. Search for baby shower invitation ideas by having a look at different nursery decorations and browsing at stationary shops. Also take the mother-to-be’s favourite flowers and colours into account.
Step 2
It is best to buy blank cards with matching envelopes. This will best suite the theme and embellishments you plan on using on the baby shower invitations. If you want to you can also create card bases by folding and cutting pieces of cardstock to fit the purchased envelopes.
Step 3
To personalize the baby shower cards, decorate the front of the baby shower invitations by using pretty patterned paper as well as an embellishment. Consider using any of the following as the embellishment: dried flowers carefully attached with liquid glue, a heartfelt quote regarding motherhood, a photo of the mother-to-be standing by the baby’s crib, or even some dimensional chipboard accents in traditional baby shapes (such as bottles and rattles).
Step 4
Do not forget to include information about the baby shower inside the baby shower invitation. A good idea is to use a sheet of coordinating cardstock on which to print the details of the baby shower, such as the date, time, location, theme, and RSVP information. It can then be attached inside the baby shower invitations. If you prefer to handwrite, buy a rubber stamp with lines on which to write the above mentioned details.
Step 5
Complete the customized look of the baby shower invitations by lining the envelopes with the same patterned paper you used on the front of the baby shower invitation. To fit it inside the flap, cut a triangle of the paper and attach it with double-sided tape.
