Are you planning on hosting a baby shower for someone? Whether

you are planning a simple shower or the ultimate baby shower one

thing is certain, you want this special event to be memorable. To

start the baby shower excitement, the baby shower invitations

have to become a big part in the planning process of any shower.

As the hostess you will need to be familiar with the wishes of the parents-to-be

and also consider the season,theme, and sex of the baby.

Some questions that you may want to ask are:

• How many people are attending?
• What theme would the mom to be like?
• What types of creative invitations are on the market that would make the shower unique and memorable?
• What types of things does the mommy-to-be like?

The invitations will set the stage for the baby shower and will indicate to the guests the mood and theme of the event. When purchasing baby shower invitations, make sure to give yourself enough time to order them and send them out. The baby shower invitations should go out around 2 to 1.5 months in advance and the guests should have at least 2 weeks to reply as well as some time to invite anyone else that was on an alternate list. Make sure to include the following information on the baby shower invite:

• Name of Mommy-to-Be
• Location
• Date
• Host(s) & Phone number
• RSVP
• Where Mommy -to-Be is registered
• Theme of the party (Sweet Pea, Diva Mom, Animal, Couples Shower)
• Let the guest know if they need to bring anything (Pot luck, Recipie, etc.)
