How to Design Sweet and Stylish Baby Shower Invitations for Girls

Designing a unique baby shower invitation is your chance to set the stage for something truly special. It’s so much more than just an invite. It’s a way to convey the shower’s theme and personality. The right design choices have the power to turn a simple invitation into something that’s heartfelt and full of emotion. 

Here are a few key steps to help you craft an invitation that’s as sweet, stylish, and memorable as the baby shower itself. 

1. Choose a Color Scheme

Picking the perfect color palette is an especially fun step in planning your baby shower. From soft, blush tones to bold pinks and purples, the colors you choose to incorporate throughout your shower help set the mood for your celebration and bring your girl baby shower invitations to life.

Here are a few of our favorite color ideas: 

• Classic pinks: Pretty in pink never goes out of style! Pair soft pink shades with crisp whites or touches of gold for a timeless and feminine look and feel that will have guests saying, “oh baby!” 
• Soft pastels: Think lavender, mint, peach, and shades of blush that combine for the optimal boho, whimsical, or watercolor vibe.
• Earthy, green tones: Looking for something a little more understated and not so outwardly pink? Beige, sage, eucalyptus, and dusty rose colors are a great place to start for floral baby shower invitations that incorporate rustic or outdoorsy themes. 
• Bold and modern combos: Go beyond the status quo with color combos like coral and navy or pink and black for a stylish, standout look. 

Pro Tip: While it’s easy to want to incorporate every color under the sun, it’s best to stick to 2-3 complementary colors to keep your baby shower invitations looking polished, cohesive, and unified. 

2. Pick Your Theme 

After choosing your colors, it’s time to tie everything together with a theme. Remember, your theme will influence every detail of your baby shower — from the invitation to the decor to the thank you cards — so it’s best to choose something that speaks to the mom- or parents-to-be and feels right for their little cutie on the way.

Here are some classic (and not-so-classic) baby shower theme ideas for baby girls.

Floral Fantasy

Embrace soft watercolor blooms, wildflower meadows, or an elegant garden tea party. This theme pairs well with a floral baby shower invitation as well as blush, lavender, and sage tones. Add lovely flower arrangements that double as centerpieces and baby shower prizes for guests.

Princess Dreams

Crowns, castles, and fairytales make this theme a royal delight. Think soft pink and gold accents with magical touches to make the mom-to-be feel like true royalty. For the nostalgic mom- or parents-to-be, include special details from their favorite princess movies or books growing up.

Rustic Charm

Mix lace, woodgrain textures, mason jars, and plenty of greenery for a cozy, down-to-earth celebration. This theme is Ideal for outdoor or farmhouse settings. Decor ideas include chalkboard signs and woodland creatures for an outdoorsy feel with a hint of enchantment.

Boho Beauty

Dreamcatchers, pampas grass, feathers, and neutral tones come together for a laid-back boho baby shower. Use soft pastel colors and natural textures for an effortlessly stylish look.

Storybook Magic

Bring your favorite nursery rhymes or children’s books to life. This whimsical storybook theme is excellent for fun and nostalgic decor, such as using stacked books for centerpieces, putting out place cards with memorable quotes from popular children’s books, and serving themed treats inspired by classics like “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” In lieu of a card, have guests bring their favorite childhood book. It’s the perfect way to build your little one’s library. 

3. Write Your Baby Shower Invitation Wording 

A beautiful digital invitation and design catches your guests’ eyes, but it’s the wording that they’re really drawn into. Whether your text is playful or polished, it should ultimately fill guests in on what to expect, share the must-know details, and add a hint of fun to spread the joy. 

Not sure where to start? Keep these things in mind while crafting your girl baby shower invitation messages:

• Choose wording that reflects your theme.
• Include the essentials, like who the shower is for (mom-to-be or parents-to-be); the date, time, and location; and the RSVP instructions and deadline.
• Add any extra information, like registry details or whether it’s a surprise party.
