Finding the Right Words: Wording for Baby Shower Invitations

Deciding on the proper wording for baby shower invitations shouldn’t really be a daunting task. Baby showers are usually gatherings of light fun, with the atmosphere more casual than formal, so the wording for baby shower invitations to be sent really shouldn’t put that much of a pressure on the organizer. One shouldn’t get a headache from thinking of the perfect combination of words. It is good to remember that there are a lot of sources, particularly online ones.

You may want to start with a cute verse or rhyme just to set the mood. Part and parcel of a baby shower is its cuteness, so whatever cute rhyme or verse you remember from childhood (a nursery rhyme for example) may work well in this situation. You may also want to quote something from a favorite inspirational author. Or for a not-so-serious effect, you may want to go the way of Dr. Seuss and lift a few rhymes from him. Everybody will appreciate a familiar rhyme and it won’t be hard to find a Dr. Seuss line that’s relatable to the party about to come.

After cleverly setting the mood, the details now start to come in. This is when you tell people the Who-What-Where-How details of the party. Baby shower invitations, in this aspect, are much like any other invitations. Don’t forget to put details of where to RSVP and other details like if you have a gift theme in mind, or colors that the gifts should come in or what participants should wear. Something along the lines of:

The time is coming

Mom’s almost due

And what we know

Is that it’s definitely blue!

Come join us in celebrating Chris and Joy’s baby boy!
