Cute baby – Baby Invitation Wording Made Simple

June 9, 2008 at 3:49 pm · Filed under Baby Care

Tip! Start looking at baby names early. You are likely to change your mind often, so the more time you allow, the easier it will be.

It’s pretty amazing just how corny baby shower stuff can get! However, a baby shower is one of the only times you can get away with being as cheezy as you want. So, let go and express yourself! It’s amazingly simple to create your own verse, from the info you know about mom and baby. You can use little things, like the due date, mom’s favorite things, baby’s gender, or advice.

Think for a moment about what makes you smile when you think about the mom to be. Is it her giggle? When you get in a smiley mood, writing will be easier to do.

You need to tell the guests some basic things: Date: Time: Place:

After the basics are covered, consider if receiving a response is important to you, and if you want guests to bring a specific gift for mom.

Here is an example of baby invitation wording:

FRONT OF CARD: It’s just next month that (mom’s name)’s baby will be ready for the delivery! But we’re not quite sure if mom’s ready just yet, so it’s gifts, love and company that she will get!

INSIDE OF CARD: Join us on (date) To shower the baby! Be there at (time) at (address). RSVP to (name of host).

Add any additional information, such as “in case of inclement weather, shower will be held…” or “bring a gift that starts with the letter “r.”

When you can’t think of a rhyme, don’t worry. Poems don’t have to rhyme. Just use what comes from your heart.

One last example:

FRONT OF CARD: There’s a little girl on the way! INSIDE OF CARD: It’d be fantastic to have you join us in the celebration! We can’t wait for her to arrive! (put basic info last)

Tip! Diaper Rash Prevention – instead of taking action after your baby got a diaper rash, prevent it with a drop of olive oil applied to their bottom every time you change their diaper: it works wonders (you should check with your doctor first).

You’re going to be a professional before you know it!
