Your Guide to the Perfect Baby Shower Invite Wording
You’re about to become new parents, or someone special in your life is, and it’s time to get those baby shower invites ready! Your baby shower invite wording isn’t just a chance to share the event details, but to get them excited about your big day too.
In this guide, we’ll explain what your invites should include and also share some baby shower invite wording examples that you can borrow and personalize for your own special day.
What to Include in Your Baby Shower Invite Wording
Baby showers are like any other event, in that there are some essential details you need to include — like the date, time, and venue. But there are other elements too, like gift registry details, that are unique to this type of event. Here’s what to include in your baby shower invitations.
Your Name
It’s always good to know who an invite is coming from. Whether it’s the mom-to-be or the parents-to-be, adding your name to the invitation adds a personal touch. If you’re hosting on behalf of the parent you can add your name followed by an introduction to the guest of honor — the mom(s) or parent(s)-to-be.
Reason for the Event
There’s a baby on the way, and this party is in honor of that, but letting your guests know what type of event to expect can be helpful. Share whether it’s a traditional baby shower, a baby sprinkle, a co-ed baby shower, or a gender reveal party. Maybe you’re not having a traditional shower but are opting for a sip and see where guests bring gifts when they meet the baby instead.
Date and Time
Your guests need to know where to show up to celebrate your incoming bundle of joy, so include the party date and time on your invite. For a more formal invite, write the date out in full. A shortened date is fine for a more casual invitation!
Baby Shower Venue
As well as the date and time, you’ll also need to share the party venue. Your home or a loved one’s place is the perfect venue for a baby shower or sprinkle. Or, book a dedicated party venue or restaurant.
If it’s a virtual baby shower, set up your meeting room in advance and include the link on the invite or let your loved ones know you’ll send the information closer to the date.
Gift Registry Information
Friends and family members want to shower you with gifts! Make it easy for them to know what to give you with a new baby registry. Set up a registry filled with baby shower gifts you’d love, as well as practical items like diapers, and include the link on your digital invitation.
RSVP Details
Including your contact information is essential — especially if you’re sending invites to a mix of people. Let your guest list know how and when to RSVP. A phone number or email address is great, but if you use Greenvelope your guests can RSVP in just a few clicks — saving you both time!
Other Information
The information above is enough to get you started, but you might have a few more details you want to share. Examples include a baby shower theme, whether there’s a dress code or not, a brief agenda for the day, or whether guests should bring anything with them — think potluck dinner or a book for the baby.
