A perfect baby shower calls for the perfect baby shower invitation wording. If you’re having a baby shower, then it’s only normal that you want everything in the invitation to be appealing and witty since it will be read (and judged!) by all your friends and invitees. There are an infinite amount of baby shower wording ideas to choose from.

The first thing to consider - will your invitation be handmade, custom made or simply bought from the card store? Handmade cards can be the choice if you’re inviting a few people. Otherwise, custom made or bought cards would be the easier choice. When choosing among made cards, opt for one with an amusing poem or introduction. As much as possible, choose the one that lets you fill up the specifics of the party yourself to ease the extra work of writing them down. But if you’re into unique and original, then go custom made and search for a card printing shop that offers a combination of quality and affordability. You may even be able to negotiate a deal depending on the number of invitations you need or how much the printing place needs your business. Don’t be afraid to ask.

Now, down to the baby shower invitation wording itself. If you are creative when it comes to words and quite familiar to poem writing, then you can make your own poem for the baby shower. This way, you can add a personal touch to the wording. There are some things to consider in making the introduction - such as the theme, the preference of the mother, the formality of the event and the gender of the baby. Girl baby shower invitation wording will be much different than baby boy invitation wording.

If the gender is yet to be known, then try to be more general and come up with a poem that works for whatever the sex of the baby will be. If the affair is formal, make do with a ceremonial and classy poem, but if it is less proper, pick a quirky and cute introduction with a cartoon or kid theme. If you are the mother and the one who is throwing the party, choosing the baby shower invitation wording should come easy since you are free to arrange the invitation according to your taste. If you are throwing a surprise baby shower for your pregnant friend, however, you can brainstorm with a few close buds to create the perfect party.

Meanwhile, for some of us who don’t have the skill to write our own, always select a baby shower invitation wording from the internet. There are a few good websites dedicated to invitation wordings and you can get samples for free. You can also seek help from card printing shops. Staff will be sure to assist you if you inquire.

After the poem, introduce the who, what, when and where’s of the party in the baby shower invitation wording. To whom will the shower be dedicated? What will the party be – a dinner, lunch or other? When and where will it take place? Make sure the instructions are clear to avoid confusion among your friends. It is advisable that you indicate a R.S.V.P. so you know how many are willing to come, and have an idea of what to prepare and how much money to set aside for the baby shower. Add contact numbers and the names of party planners just in case.

Lastly, check the baby shower invite wording a couple of times before sending it to the printing shop. Below are a couple of examples for you to work off of.
