You are in charge of hosting a baby shower for your best friend. You've made the guest list, menu, and figured out the decorations. But what are you going to do for invitations. Store bought ones seem so impersonal to you, so why not make your own?
It doesn't take a lot of talent, or even craftiness, to make your own invitation. All it takes is the right tools and some creativity.
BABY SHOWER EVITES
To make any of the follow invitations you'll need to have the right tools. Here is a list of the basic craft items you'll need.
- Scissors
- Glue
- Construction paper
- Baby stickers and decorative cutouts
- Colored pens or markers
- Standard invitation envelopes for mailing
Each invitation is simple to make and will make a lasting impression on your guests. Just remember to save a couple of them for the mother-to-be for her baby book. And now, on to the invitations.
Diaper Days: A cute invitation is to take a piece of pink or light blue cardboard paper - both if you don't know the baby's gender, and cut it in a triangle shape. On the inside center write the party information, along with any other information the guests need to know. Fold the sides of the triangle in on themselves and then fold the bottom point up too, making a diaper-shaped triangle. Using either a real diaper pin, or a sticker of one, seal the invitation up and send it on it's way. It's cute and will get your guests in the mood for a baby shower.
Birth Certificates: Another cute invitation is to make a small birth certificate. Have the parent's names on there, with the other party information as well. You can use a computer and good quality paper and there are even seals you can buy to put on the invites to give them an official look.
Baby Blocks: Cut out squares of different colored construction paper and put the letters A, B, and C on them using colored markers or scrapbook stickers. For each invitation you'd need one of each. Glue them on another piece of colored paper, with the blocks overlapping so they look like building blocks. Write the party information around the blocks and send them off.
Hand/Foot Prints: Draw hand and foot prints on pink and light blue construction paper. Write the party information on one side and slip into an envelope for an easy and adorable invitation.
With just a little creativity, and some work, you can make your friend's baby shower invites extra special. Just have fun with them and you won't be disappointed.
