Baby Shower Invitation Wording

By: Alice Langholt

When it comes to baby shower invitation wording, you have many options. Regardless of the style of your baby shower invitations, certain information must always be included. Once you have all the details in place, you can add rhymes, decorations or personal touches.

Essential Information
Be sure, no matter what wording you choose, that you will include this essential information on your baby shower invitations:

Name of the mom-to-be
Name of the host or hostess
Date
Location of the baby shower
Contact person's phone number and/or e-mail address
RSVP information and date by which you want the RSVP

The following information is optional but can give your guests an idea of what to bring and what to expect:

Where the mom-to-be is registered
If there is a theme for the shower
Casual or more formal dress
Anything you want the guests to bring to the shower

Wording Ideas
For baby shower invitation ideas, the Web is a great resource. You can find rhymes to copy or use, and you can pick up visual inspiration. Whether you are doing the invitation yourself or ordering premade ones, you will need to select the wording that will give your guests the information they need.

For truly unique baby shower invitations, try your hand at poetry. It's easy to make a little rhyme for the start and end of the invitation. Two lines in each area of the invite are plenty to add a fun and cute touch. Consider these ideas:

Bottles and booties, diapers and pins,
Here is where love begins!
Jane's baby is on the way!
Help get ready for the day!

Celebrate new life, precious and new
With a shower! For soon Debbie's baby is due!

You can find many more examples with a simple Web search, or write your own to make the invitation personal and cute.
