How to make a baby shower invitation

  • Open Paperless Post on desktop, mobile, or our app, and create an account or sign in. Then, select ‘Baby’ to start browsing hundreds of invitation designs.

  • Explore our wide selection of baby shower invitation templates, and filter to find specific designs by gender, theme, style, season, and more until you find the perfect fit for your event.

  • Edit your invitation’s text, fonts, colors, backdrop, spacing, and alignment, and add fun stickers for a special touch. Upload a photo if you’ve chosen a photo Card, and try one of our Magic Fonts for added dimension. Finish things off with a matching envelope, liner, and your choice of stamp.

  • Fill out your event page to include all your shower details and select a Page Style to choose colors and fonts that complement your design. Enable Guest Questions, include a Comment Wall, and add helpful Blocks to send along further details like a schedule of events, a gallery of photos, or gift registry links.

  • Add your guests however you prefer—one by one with their phone numbers or email addresses, add them directly from your contact list, upload a spreadsheet, or paste a list. You can also send one combined invitation to a group, such as a couple or family.

  • Then, send your baby shower invitation to guests via email, text message, or a link you can share anywhere. Create a Custom URL to make it even easier for guests to refer back to your event page for all the details!
