6 Tea Party Baby Shower Invitations

Use these tea party baby shower invitation templates to take the next step in your party planning. Pick your fave digital invite and send it out in just a few taps. 

1. High Tea Invitation

Design: Kid Collective

This pastel purple tea for two invitation is lovely for a baby boy or baby girl. The double teacups work perfectly for a “Tea for Two” shower theme, signifying mom + baby, or even twins. The teapot has a cute sketched teabag string hanging from the lid with steam swirling from the top. 

The whole invite is hand-drawn with an abstract floral pattern adorning the tea set, and it comes in stunning colorways like orange and magenta, rust and lavender, and black and pink.

We like this invitation for a high tea baby shower, where you serve heartier food. If you didn’t know, afternoon tea typically features lighter snacks, while high tea is for a more filling setup (contrary to popular belief!). Serve quiches, meat pies, potato salad, casseroles, or fish. You can even do a potluck style if guests want to contribute.

2. Ribboned Cake Invitation

Design: Annie Montgomery Design

This irresistible coquette invitation features a scalloped envelope flap, a bow-bedecked cake, unfussy cursive, and an adorable lavender and orange-y red color scheme. We can see this invitation lending itself to a full coquette theme, which goes hand-in-hand with a tea party. 

Tie bows on the stems of champagne glasses and the base of balloons, set the tables with lace tablecloths, put vases overflowing with flowers on every surface, and use cherries and berries as decoration for food and drinks. String up fairy lights to create a warm, twinkling glow. Lean into romantic frills and pastels — you can even channel some Marie Antoinette à la Sofia Coppola vibes.

For the cake, a popular coquette cake look is a heart-shaped cake decorated with ornate, vintage piping. Try your hand at it, or order from a local bakery.

3. Dainty Teapot Invitation

Design: Claudia Owen

This dainty invitation design features a teapot-shaped card adorned with an antique floral design. It would work well for a vintage tea party where you want to wear big hats, cover the room in ornate gold detailing and lacy accents, and bust out the gloves.

For your tea party decoration, lean into a Victorian theme with vintage patterned teacups and saucers, tons of candles, silver platters, and roses. Set the tables with stacks of old books to hold taper candles and bud vases. Mix and match your tableware with teacups and silverware you find at thrift shops to create a shabby chic, boho look.

For refreshments, you might serve:

• Colorful macarons
• Almond scones with clotted cream and jam
• Berry tarts, apple tarts, or pear tarts
• Tiny quiches, both bacon and veggie
• Finger sandwiches, like egg salad, cucumber and cream cheese, and ham and cheese
• Many varieties of tea, like English breakfast, Earl Grey, peppermint, chamomile, Assam, and hibiscus

4. Elegant Wildflowers Invitation

Design: Jen Montgomery

If you’re throwing a garden tea party, look no further than this botanical invitation card. You’ll notice hand-painted wildflowers — poppies, pasque flowers, lilacs, black-eyed susans, and sunflowers. 

The flowers around the border charmingly spill into the middle of the invitation, which features the details in a timeless serif font with some calligraphy details. It’s fully customizable (just like all the invitations on this list), so you can pick your own card text, envelope, and background.

For your garden tea party, you can scatter tables around the backyard or set up one long table so everyone can be together. Most traditional tea parties have the tea and food set up individually on each table in clusters. A medium-sized teapot (1-2 quarts) will serve about four people, so set up tiered serving platters with enough food for four so you can place them next to each teapot.

Or, you can have a single refreshment station with hot water and teabags so guests can make their own tea. Set out a big spread of food and have guests put together their own plates. Have enough seating so most people can be seated at once, or scatter seating stations and taller tables to stand around the backyard for an informal feel.

5. Dainty Doodles Invitation

Design: Carmia Jordaan

This whimsical doodles invitation template brings loads of charm with cute illustrations of croissants, teapots, strawberries, taper candles, cake, and flowers. It’s stunning as a baby sprinkle or baby shower invite where the mom of honor is fun, lighthearted, or artsy.

Let the digital invitation inform the vibe of the party — serve croissants and fruit, decorate a cake with big blooms and strawberries, and scatter the room with bud vases, mason jar bouquets, greenery, and candles.

You can customize this editable invite with your own wording. Here are some ideas that are sure to garner RSVPs:

• Pinkies up! It’s time for a high tea party to honor mom-to-be [name]
• Tea Time: Please join us for tea and tasty treats to celebrate the mama-to-be
• Tea for Two: Celebrate [name] and her new baby at a tea party baby shower
• Join us for an afternoon tea with the mama-to-be
• Please join us for a tea party baby shower honoring [name] and her baby
• Tea Party in the Garden: You’re invited to a baby shower for [name]
• Please join us for afternoon tea and refreshments to celebrate [name]

6. Time for Tea Invitation

Design: Lisa Travis

This watercolor invite is a quintessential tea party setup — a three-tiered serving tray with finger foods and a shiny teapot with matching teacups. Pick from four pastel colorways: lavender, sky blue, pink, or coral. This card could serve as a subtle gender reveal (or more of a soft launch), but it’s very gender-neutral if needed.

We love the high-quality, hand-drawn look of this invite, with tasty treats adorning the serving dishes and hot tea reflecting the light around the cups. This invitation works for a variety of party themes, letting you put your own personality into your party without being too bound by the invitation’s look.

Pinkies Up!
