Looking for Free, Cheap, or Do-It-Yourself Baby Shower Invitations?

Are you looking for some different, inexpensive baby shower invitations? If you want to send out an invitation that is more unique than the purchased, standard baby shower invitation, there are some fun ideas that you can do yourself. Some of the ideas might take a bit more energy, but the payoff in the cuteness factor will really wow your guests.

Diaper invitations

BABY SHOWER EVITES

There's a couple of ways you can make these invitations. The first is to use white paper, cut into triangles. Fold the pointed ends into a diaper shape and secure with a small safety pin. Then open the invitation back up and write the party information on the inside of the diaper.

The other way to make the invitations is to use white felt, flannel, or other suitable fabric and fold like a diaper and pin as above. Write the party information on a separate slip of paper and tuck inside the diaper. Both of these types of invitations can be mailed.

Toy invitations

This invitation can be the beginning of a game or lead to a prize. If you are giving a ducky themed or any type of stuffed animal themed party, pick up small toys at the dollar store, write a number on or pin it to the toy. Tie a ribbon around the toy's neck with the party information on it, and mail it in a small box or hand deliver to your guests. Ask the guest to bring the toy with them to the party. At the party you can draw a number to see who wins the prize.

Balloons

Here's my personal favorite. Take a helium balloon that's deflated and write the baby shower information on it with a felt tip marker. Inflate the balloon with helium and tie a ribbon around the neck. Tuck the balloon into a small box and tape the ribbon end inside the box. You may want to hand deliver these, but they can also be mailed. When the guest opens the box, the balloon floats out. It's eye-catching and definitely unusual.

Birth Certificates

This invitation is quick to make and easy to mail. Take parchment paper and cut into sizes that will fit into an envelope. You can use a black felt tipped marker to draw squiggles and designs around the edges. Just make it look like a birth certificate for the new baby. Write all the party information on the certificate and mail.
