Baby Shower Cards

Baby shower cards are the first impression your guests will have of the party. Set the mood by making them striking, so that your guests will be eager to attend the baby shower. They should also contain the necessary information regarding the event. Baby showers can also double up as farewells, if the mother-to-be is leaving town. Eva Longoria is throwing a baby shower for Victoria Beckham, which will also be a farewell party as she is going to London to be with David Beckham while he trains there. She is planning to serve cupcakes and Laduree macaroons, which will be flown in from France, because the expectant mother likes them. Personal touches like these will help your event stand out in your friend's memory.

If you are planning to have a themed party, your invitations should match the theme. For instance, if you are having a woodland theme, you can word the invitations accordingly. Invite your guests to a party for 'Mama Bear' and 'Baby Bear', and you could have a bear shaped invitation.

Use good quality paper for your cards whether you are printing them out yourself or ordering them through a company. Your guests can use them as bookmarks or keepsakes long after the baby shower is over.

Mention the mother- to- be's name, the date, time, and venue of the baby shower. You can also include a map if you are expecting outstation guests. If the party is a surprise, mention that as well, so that the guests know they should not discuss the baby shower with the guest of honor before the date of the event.

Your budget will determine how much you will spend on the cards, so find out how much various options cost to decide which one is suitable. Look at a sample before you send the cards out, so that you are sure the spellings of the names are correct. In case you are short on time, look for a company which will address and mail the cards for you.

You can search for card designs online. You could choose a design in which you can place a picture of the expectant mother to personalize it. Even if you send cards online, mention an RSVP date and contact details so that you know the number of guests who are going to attend the baby shower.

Baby shower cards can be elaborate, casual, traditional, and contemporary. Choose one which fits in with the party's scale, and your friend's personality. Then you can get ready to receive calls from guests accepting your invitations to the baby shower.
