A baby is such a miraculous thing. You want to be sure the baby shower is wonderful as well!
There are many things to take into consideration; date, theme, food, guest list, etc. But one of the major things is the invitation. This is what people will have on their fridge to remind them for a few weeks before. It will also go in the new baby's memory book and touch the mom-to-be deeply. It is one of the few things that will survive the shower many years down the road. This is why it is so important to choose the PERFECT invitation!
With so many choices out there, here are some tips for choosing the invitation:
1. Match the Theme - You want to be sure the flow of the party is perfect. With this in mind, make sure your invitation matches the theme of the event. If you are doing a polka dot theme, make sure your invitation is along those same lines.
2. Method of Delivery - There are so many ways to get the invitation to the guests. You can go more traditional and mail the invitation, or you can take the more modern route and email the invitation to the guests (provided everyone has a email account and knows how to open attachments). You want to be sure it is convenient for your guests. Because a lot of older guests (grandparents, great-grandparents, etc) do not have email, it may be better to stick with the traditional mailing route to ensure delivery to all the invitees.
3. Personalization - The invitation should be personal for the parents-to-be. Whether you do this with a photo (maternity photos and ultrasound photos work great for this option) or with the theme, make sure the party is catered towards the guest of honor! It will make it that much more special for her on that day as well as later!
