Personalized Baby Shower Invitations Add the Perfect Touch

Personalized baby shower invitations are a classy, touching way to welcome guests to your upcoming event. With the baby's name, and often the guest's name, printed directly on the card, each guest can see that time and thought went into the planning of the shower.

Order personalized invitations from a print shop, or print your own on your computer. Your budget and talent in desktop publishing should help you decide which path to choose.

Ordering Invitations

This is quite simply the easiest and fastest way to share personalized invitations with your guests. Printers offer a wide variety of invitation cards, often complete with matching envelopes, RSVP cards and thank you cards.

Personalizing the invitations can be done in two ways; after the baby is born, their name and a short verse are printed on the card along with the details of the event. This allows the baby shower invitation to double as a birth announcement, sharing the details of the new baby's arrival with invited shower guests. Before the baby's arrival, which is when most showers are held, the invitation is personalized with the expectant mother and father's names (or simply the mother's if it is a women-only shower).

Some print companies even offer personalized photo invitations, with a picture of the pregnant mother or new arrival on the front of the card.

Order your invitations about a month before the shower and check them over carefully when they arrive. Once you are sure the details are accurate, you can start addressing your envelopes.

Make Your Own

Creating your own invitations on your home computer is an easy and inexpensive way to create beautiful personalized invitations.

Choose a design template from one of the many websites offering this service, unless you are extremely comfortable with your desktop publishing skills. These templates allow you to simply fill in the details of the event and print them off. You can add each guests name on their respective invitation and even print their names and addresses on the envelopes.

Try a few different styles and print on plain paper to see which one you like best and make sure you have aligned the design elements properly. Once you have perfected the invitation, print as many as you need on your chosen invitation paper or card stock.

Don't forget to save your design or print a few extras in case you need them later!

Handcrafted

Handmade invitations are the most personal design of all! If you feel confident in your skills, handcrafting your invitations can be a fun and rewarding undertaking. Buy all of your supplies before beginning and try a few test-runs first to perfect your cards. Calligraphy, embossing and adornments all look great on a personalized shower invitation.

Give yourself plenty of time to complete the invitations without having to rush. Have fun crafting an invitation that many guests will treasure as a keepsake of this special event!
