Baby showers are a fun time for everyone involved. There is food, games, and family and friends to help welcome a new baby into the family. Everyone is excited, except probably the person or people organizing or hosting the shower. For them, there are a lot of details to consider. One of the most important things is the baby shower invitation. It is the first thing to go out and the first thing to get people interested. Here are a few things to put in your baby shower invitation wording so you don’t forget.
1. After the basic facts like the location, day, and time, you want to make sure not to forget to include the new mothers name and possibly the name of the new baby, if she has picked out a name yet. You wouldn’t want people asking themselves who the shower was for!
2. This point goes along with number 1, you would like to include the gender of the baby in the invitation. This helps you decorate appropriately and also helps you create the design for the invitations. This also helps the people shopping for gifts. You want people to show up bringing bottles and bibs, not cheap wedding dresses to play games in!
3. Consider including directions into the invitation. These can be put on a separate sheet or on the back, but most people appreciate them.
4. Registry information is also helpful. People want to know what the new mom wants, they don’t want to have to guess while they are out shopping.
5. Lastly, have people let you know if they are coming or not. Include your phone number or email address. This is a big help for planning.
Keep these five things in mind when writing your baby shower invitations and you should be well prepared and your guests will be as well!
