 Baby Shower Invitations Templates
Baby Shower Invitation Templates
Creating baby shower invitations should be a fun and joyful exercise. Besides the vast array of pre-printed
invitations available, there are a number of baby shower invitation templates available for use with different
programs. With a little research, creativity and attention to detail, the invitations will be on the way
shortly!
Paint-Style Program Templates
There are various options to choose from when creating baby shower invitations. If you decide to create
something from scratch, you will need to open a newdocument and insert a large text box about the same size
as the actual printed invite will be. Insert original artwork,royalty-free graphics or photos into the
document to make it stand out.
Change the color and style of the text box and font to match your baby shower theme. Finally, make sure
that all of the pertinent details are there, and proof the text for errors before printing your first test sheet on
heavy card stock.
Ready-made Word Processing Templates
Word processing programs have various baby shower invitation templates that are already in the program, or can
be downloaded from websites. The benefits of using thesetemplates are that the layout is already done for you,
and they often come in fun shapes, like onesies or turtles, versus plain boxes.
You can still customize by changing font or text box colors to match your theme. For most templates, you
can alter the entire look easily by removing a graphic and inserting your own – a great option if the template
doesn’t exactly suit your needs.
Dynamic Software Programs
Though word processing programs have lovely features and built-in templates, there are more dynamic and specific
layout and editing programs. Publisher, Photoshop, and other programs are often included in office software
packages. There are even programs available, online and in stores, devoted solely to greeting cards and
invitations. These programs all have customizable baby shower invitation templates, or wizards that help create one
from scratch. If you plan to use electronic invites, there are software programs for that as well.
Online Baby Shower Invitation Templates
If you are looking for a particular theme, there may already be a specific template available online. Free up
baby shower planning time by first conducting a quick internet search. You can find general girl- and boy-specific
baby shower invitation templates, like Noah’s Ark, butterfly, jungle, princess and monkey themes. Some really fun
characters like those of Dr. Seuss are copyright protected and difficult to find good images for, but you can get
ideas from websites on how to create your own.
Mix and Match
Don’t be afraid to mix and match methods and materials for baby shower invitation templates. Elderly family
members may not use email or the internet, so print out their invitations. Many templates can be customized and
emailed to those that are computer savvy, but can also be printed and mailed. When using printable,
non-customizable templates, consider adding your own unique flair by embellishing with scrapbook stickers.
Embellishment with ribbon or stickers is also a good idea for any invitation, as it adds a unique flair, and
sometimes a three-dimensional look.
There are many options available for using, creating or improving upon baby shower invitation templates. As
long as the pertinent information is included and it is consistent with the theme the expectant mother and guests
will be impressed!
