Prepare for baby with a themed shower and invitations.
Choosing a theme and preparing invitations for a baby shower can be challenging. If the parents have chosen not to discover the sex of the child until after the birth, you need a gender-neutral theme. Your creativity guidelines depend on the taste of the expectant mother and the guests. There are many suitable themes and free printable invitations for baby showers to choose from.
Angel Invitations
For an angel theme, choose free printable invitations such as the Cartoon Angel Birthday Party Invitation from FreePrintables or the Angel Baby Shower invitations from Plan the Perfect Baby Shower. Personalize the invitations with your own sentiments for the mom-to-be or add a pre-written one such as, "Come celebrate with us, a new bundle of love, soon to be sent, from heaven above."
Decorating options for an angel-themed baby shower include a soft white decor with pom-pom clouds, white feather boas hanging from doorways and child sized angel wings adorning the backs of chairs.
Childhood Memories
Celebrate the joy of a baby's birth with a trip down memory lane for the mom-to-be and baby shower guests. You can create a free childhood memories-themed invitation for the shower using a photo or card program on your computer. Place a baby picture of the mom-to-be along with a sonogram picture of the baby on it. You can also add your own pictures, stored on a Flicker account, to a free printable card at My Card Maker.
In the invitation, ask guests to bring a baby picture of themself to display or use for games at the shower.
Beach Baby
If the baby shower is going to occur during the hot summer months, try a beach theme for the party and invitations. Print out free beach-themed baby shower invitations free from AmazingBabyShowerIdeas.com. You can even buy beach themed scrapbook supplies from your local craft store and create your own baby shower invitations using tips from Plan the Perfect Baby Shower.
Give each guest a leis and serve baby hot dogs and hamburgers for them to munch on. For dessert, Celebration.com suggests decorated cookies shaped as beach balls and seashells.
