Baby shower invitations are an important part of any baby shower. This is the only way for everyone to be on the same page by knowing the date, time & place. Any good invitation should reflect the personality of the mother-to-be. First you need to organize a list of names that should be invited. There's a variety of cards available with all different themes and moods. It's important to make your selection dependent on the gender of the baby - pink of girls and blue for boys.
Themes and colors can be the next important factor. If you want to try a picture theme, you can include dollies for girls and boats for boys. If you don't know the gender of the baby, you might want to try green or yellow colors instead of the traditional pink or blue.

Just remember to be simple, beautiful and informative. Make sure you are precise and include all the vital information, like the name of the mother-to-be, baby (if known), date, time, and location. Don't forget a map and directions to the event. Just in case anyone has questions, you should make sure to include your phone number and email address. Invitations should ...
... be sent three to four weeks ahead of time. This way everyone has a chance to adjust their schedules.

Invitations can be purchased in craft stores or gift shops. If you have the time or skill you can also make your own. Everyone, especially the expecting mother, will love the creative touch of a handmade invitation.
