Step 1
Determine the theme for the shower.
Step 2
Determine the type of shower invitations you want to design. Traditional invitations are square or rectangular cards with the party details printed on them. For a twist on tradition, create invitations that are cut into a baby-related shape. Another modern idea is to send a 3-D invitation, such as a cloth diaper or baby rattle with the details attached.
Step 3
Choose the material for the card background. Card stock is a durable option that is easy to work with and comes in many colors and patterns.
Step 4
Decide on the details of the invitation. If you plan to make a shaped invitation, choose which baby-related shape. Ideas include a diaper, baby rattle, bootie or bib. Consider the embellishments to make the baby shower invitations stand out, such as ribbons, stickers or baby pins.
Step 5
Develop the wording of the invitation. Keep it fun and creative, incorporating the theme if possible. Rhyming is also a common component for baby shower invitation wording. Decide if you will hand write the wording or print it on a computer.
Step 6
Add the party details to the invitations. Include the date, time, location, RSVP information and other relevant details.
Warnings
- Invitations that go beyond the traditional card style will likely require more than a first-class postage stamp to mail. The exact cost depends on the size and embellishments added. Create a sample invitation, place it in appropriate packaging and take it to the post office to find out how much it will cost to send.
