 Homemade Baby Shower Invitations
Homemade Baby Shower Invitations
Homemade baby shower invitations are the perfect way to add a special touch to your party. They convey a
personal feel to the occasion and leave a lasting impression on the person who receives it, unlike premade invites
that the guest mightread and toss aside after noting the date and time of the party.
Choosing the Theme
If you already have a theme for the party, decide how you would like to incorporate it into your homemade baby
shower invitations. If the celebration is centered on a Noah’s Ark motif, for example, then you will want to
make sure there is a boat and animals on your invite. If no theme has been set for the shower, use
common baby items such as bottles, bibs, booties, a stroller, and alphabet blocks.
Gather Materials
Visit your local craft or scrapbooking store and purchase blank cards and envelopes to get started on your
homemade baby shower invitations. You will also want to pick up some embellishments to match the theme such as
colored pens, stickers, stamps, and ribbon. Do not forget scissors, glue, and double sided tape if you do not
have these items readily available. To cut down on costs, first look around at the dollar stores in your area for
some of these supplies.
Designing the Invitations
Lay your supplies out on the table and arrange them in an assembly line to cut down on time. Decide where
you will enter your party information and leave this area blank. To begin decorating your homemade baby shower
invitations, place stickers around the edges in a pretty design or stamp your border with ink that is the color
theme of the party. Once you are finished, tie a piece of ribbon into a bow and adhere at the top with the
double sided tape.
Adding Party Details
Now, it is time to add the details of the party on your homemade baby shower invitations. Start by adding
the date in which your event is being held. Next, state where the location of the shower will be and also
include the exact street address and simple directions for out-of-town guests. Add the start time of the party
on the next line. Lastly, be sure to include a “respond by” date and list the name and telephone number of the
person who is to be notified.
Finishing Touches
To finish up your homemade baby shower invitations, add the registry information for the expectant
parents. Instead of listing the details on the card, write them on a separate piece of decorated cardstock and
include this as an insert. Guests enjoy being able to remove this and place it somewhere handy when the time
comes to do their shopping for the new baby. Address the outer envelope with the recipient’s mailing
information, insert the invite, and seal with a pretty sticker.
Keep in mind that your homemade baby shower invitations do not have to be fancy and extravagant to be
appreciated. The expectant parents will value and cherish the effort and time you spent in adding such a
personal touch to their special day.
