Should baby shower invitations be creative or pre-printed

Baby shower invitations should be chosen keeping in mind what type of shower you are throwing. Do you want to go cutesy, classic, modern, or simply be creative and make your own. Another option is buying pre-made ones and just filling in the information. Baby shower invitations can also be custom designed and printed.

Being creative opens up all kinds of possibilities in making baby shower invitations. You can create your own little poem or saying for the cover and the information about the date, time and location can go on the inside. The possibilities are as limited as your imagination if you are making them yourself. If the shower is before the baby is born you could create all kinds of designs and themes. If the shower is after the baby arrives, you could have a picture of the new arrival on the cover of the invitations.

Another option and a more modern one, is e-baby shower invitations. Some of the more well-known card companies have places where you can create email invitations and keep track of your guest lists as well. It’s convenient and saves the expenses of the traditional mailing of the invitations. For e-invitations be sure to get the email addresses of the guests. Having some pre-made invitations for those who do not have email.

Custom-made baby shower invitations are beautiful and again can be modern, classic, traditional, fancy or simple. Keep in mind the number of guests and the amount of time prior to the date of the shower that will be needed for special ordered invitations and for hand made invitations. Whatever your choice, keep in mind the preferences of the parents to be. An invitation in the shape of a baseball will make a sports fan feel you genuinely care. A teddy bear invitation would make the day of any teddy bear lover. The key is to be creative and have fun.
