Baby shower party invitations are a real time saver, one you should perhaps consider if you have been chosen to throw a baby shower for a member of your family or close friend.
One of the most important elements is going to be the theme of the event.
To get this right you will need to converse with the parents, prior to starting on anything else, that includes ordering the baby shower stationary.
I take it that you will be using off the shelf designs, as going for a custom or personal design only adds to your work load.
You will find plenty of outlets that offer a wide range of snazzy, modern designs and the best part is they will have in stock any number of designs to complement your chosen theme.
So lets look at a few tips to help you get the party started.
It is going to pay you dividends to find out, from the guest of honor, the budget for the whole event.
Remember baby shower party invitations are only a small part of the whole event, an important one for getting your message across and portraying a professional face but still only one piece of the jigsaw.
First, get your theme sorted, talk to the parents, find out their thoughts on the theme, research other routes by looking online or in magazines to trigger your imagination.
Another way to come up with a theme is to "reverse engineer" your choice.
Check out some of the bigger baby shower stationary suppliers, if you need some help to locate these drop by my blog using the links below, by doing this you will see clearly some of the most popular themes used for shower parties.
The most important thing is that when you have chosen a theme follow it right through to your baby shower party invitations.
This will set the mood for the night and add to that professional feel to the event you, as the person organizing it, want to portray.
Now go and choose your ideal invites.
If you are going for the "off the peg" type you will be getting invites that leave you to fill in the blanks.
As I said earlier, this style comes at a more affordable price and still maintain that professional feel, but it will be just as easy to have the details printed in them.
You could do this at home on your P.
C.
's printer or even take them to a copy shop to get the job completed.
So onto what to include on the Invite.
It's a good idea to include such things as the time the party commences, location of the venue complete with detailed directions, obviously the name of the guest of honor and also the name of the baby along with the babies sex and date of birth.
It mat also pay to include not just your contact number but that of the parents as well.
Mention the theme of the party, give the guests some shower gift ideas and also let them know if there is to be food and refreshments laid on.
When doing all of this, give the guests plenty of time to reply, send out the invites at least a month prior to the event, they will be appreciative of your forethought and you will get a better response with more people attending the shower party.
As you can see, baby shower party invitations have an important role to play in getting your message across.
Choose the baby shower stationary with care and you will portray a professionally organized event that more guests will be keen to attend.
