Planning a baby shower

If you are the lucky hostess who is planning the new mom’s baby shower you’ll want to pick the right baby shower invitations. Baby shower invitations are the first step in picking out a theme for your new mom’s baby shower. Be sure to consult with the new mom on the guest list. You won’t want to have any friends or family miss out on this special event. Generally, most baby showers are held about a month or 6 weeks before the due date.

This will give the mom time to register for gifts. For a casual party send out the baby shower invitations 3 to 4 weeks in advance of the actual date. Most baby shower and other party invitations include pre-printed with space for the information of who, what, where and time of the party. For all party invitations be sure to include RSVP information, like phone number and name of person to RSVP to. RSVP’s are very important to the hostess to determine how many guests will be at the shower or party. With an accurate count of the guests the hostess can figure out how much food and drink to have on hand. Sending out new baby party invitations is the first step in throwing a great baby shower.
