What to Include on a Baby Shower Invitation

Design: Manu Torres

With a new baby on the way, a baby shower is one of the most lovely events to plan. To help you get those invites out the door, here’s everything you need to include on your baby shower invitations.

Type of Baby Shower

With so many variations on the baby shower, it’s a good idea to let your guests know what to expect. Make it clear on your invitation whether it’s a baby shower in honor of the mother-to-be or a coed baby shower for both parents. Maybe it’s a baby sprinkle instead of a full-blown baby shower or maybe you’re celebrating the birth of twins. If it’s a gender reveal party, get guests excited early by mentioning it on your baby shower invitations.

Date and Time

It may sound obvious, but it’s easy to forget the basics. Include the date and time of the baby shower on your invite so everyone knows when to join you to celebrate. Add the day of the week to your invite too so it’s easier for people to remember. Make it clear whether it’s a morning, afternoon, or evening get-together. If you’re welcoming guests from multiple time zones or hosting a virtual baby shower, include the time zone here too.

Location

Along with the date and time, the party location is another essential to include. Whether you’re hosting a baby shower at your home for a close friend or renting out a restaurant for a decadent dinner for your sister, your guests will need to know where to find you. Even if your guests know the location, it doesn’t hurt to include a full address and zip code. If you’re welcoming out-of-town guests, add a line with some brief travel directions from further away and recommendations for hotels nearby.

RSVP Details

Your guests will be eager to say yes to joining you for this magical moment. Make it easy for guests to RSVP by including clear details on how to do it. Include a name, plus a couple of ways of confirming their RSVP — like email or phone. If you’re sending digital invitations, you can easily request and manage RSVPs online.

Food and Drink

If your party is during lunch or dinner time, guests might be wondering whether food is being served. Avoid lots of questions by mentioning whether you’re serving food or not on your invites. If you’re not, guests can plan around this and eat before or after your celebration. You could also use this as a chance to bring everyone together by suggesting people bring a dish or dessert for the table.

Registry Details

If your guests of honor have a baby registry, include the details on your invite. If you’re sending an online invitation you could include a link to their registry, or leave details about the stores where the parents-to-be are registered. This way your guests can choose a special gift they know the guest of honor will love.
