5. Romantic Floral Frame Invitation
Design: Claudia Owen
For an elegant way to welcome your bundle of joy, this romantic card design features sweeping cursive lettering with a rose gold floral border. The flowers and branches remind us of the artwork in an old fairy tale book, making this the perfect way to welcome your little prince or princess and to start your family’s happily ever after.
6. Oh Baby Combo Invitation
Design: Claudia Owen
The text on this baby shower invitation says it all. Yes, we love the fun play on words, but there’s also something about the phrase, “Oh, baby,” that perfectly captures how every dad and mom-to-be feels as they await their new addition. The excitement, the nerves, and the love are all wrapped up in those two little words. And on this invitation, the sentiment is accentuated with modern lettering, gold foil, and a textured cardstock backdrop.
7. Our Little Pumpkin Invitation
Design: Paper Raven Co.
This autumnal design is a beautiful invite for a fall-themed baby shower. It helps you welcome your little pumpkin with a border of fall foliage. With three different fall color schemes, you can pick your favorite shade of pumpkin spice. This invite is a sign of seasons to come — it’s only a matter of time until the happy family is staging their own pumpkin patch photoshoot.
8. Rainbow Colorblock Invitation

This birth announcement also makes a cheerful baby shower invitation template. Bright rainbow colors frame a photo of your choice. If you’re hosting your shower after the baby is born, you can complete the photo card with a picture of your newborn bundle of joy. But if you’re still waiting for the little one’s arrival, you can add a picture of the parents-to-be or the freshly painted nursery. It’s a personal touch that will share a part of your life with loved ones.
9. Brunch and Bubbly Invitation
Design: Robinson Creative House
The mom-to-be might not be drinking, but everyone else will be excited to raise a glass to the new baby. So if you’re hosting a baby shower brunch, send out this customizable invitation to get everyone in the mood for mimosas and mocktails. The fun floral design comes in three different color schemes.
10. Sprinkle Confetti Invitation
Design: Stacey Meacham Design, LLC
With a sprinkling of confetti all around the border, this baby shower invitation is just right for a baby sprinkle or for anyone in the mood to celebrate.

11. Sweet Baby Elephant Invitation
Design: Jamie Alexander
Elephants are some of the best mothers in the animal kingdom, so we can’t think of a better way to honor a mother-to-be than with an elephant baby shower invitation. The hand-painted watercolor elephants on this party invitation highlight the sweet bond between parent and child.
