Baby shower invitation themes
When you send invitations with Paperless Post, you’ll find baby shower invitation designs for any theme. Woodland baby shower invitations bring guests into a forest wonderland, while nautical baby shower invitations capture the whimsical joy of a summer beach baby.
For a shower welcoming a little boy, choose a baby boy shower invitation to match classic blue decorations. To welcome litter girl find inspiration with baby girl shower invitations. You’ll also find plenty of adorable gender-neutral baby shower invitations full of grinning animals and libraries of baby books—classic storybook characters included.
We also have baby shower invitation templates for smaller showers, also known as baby sprinkles. Sprinkles are great for parents expecting baby #2 (or #3 or 4 or 5), as well as when parents don’t need many supplies. Alternately, a sip and see let guests come visit the baby after they’re born. If you’re hosting a shower for both parents, send out couples’ baby shower invitations to let guests know that everyone is invited to celebrate.
Create personalized baby shower invitations
Creating custom baby shower invitations at Paperless Post is as easy as a game of “Guess the Baby Food”—well, maybe a little easier than that. Once you choose a baby shower invitation design, customize it with themed stickers, your own one-of-a-kind stamp made with an image of the parent-to-be, and a Photo Gallery Block—perfect for pregnancy photoshoot pictures. Pick a Page Style that lets you make each template your own with custom colors and fonts that match the shower’s vibe.
Ready to send out your personalized baby shower invitations? Great! Use Paperless Post’s features and tools to track RSVPs, add the family’s registry with a Registry Block, include more details about parking in an Event Details Block, communicate with guests on the Comment Wall, or ask a specific Guest Question to narrow down dietary restrictions and needs. You can even create your own customized event URL for easy sharing.
When to send baby shower invitations
The best time to have a baby shower is in the early third trimester—a time when the mom-to-be is showing off her bump and baby is right around the corner (but not too close!). The beginning of the third trimester happens around weeks 28–32—or in the seventh month of pregnancy. This timing also gives the parents a chance to write thank you notes after the big event (because they’re not going to have much time after the new family member arrives).
So, when do you send out baby shower invitations? Like most parties, invitations for baby showers should go out around eight weeks before the event. It’s a perfect amount of time to follow up on RSVPs, purchase decorations, and get all those bottle-themed cake pops just right.
