For expecting mothers who are planning to host a baby shower, making the invitations are one of the most enjoyable (and important) parts of the whole planning and organization process. Additionally, women love to make their own since it signifies that they care enough to exert the necessary effort in the creation of things instead of buying it pre-made in a commercial establishment. In this case, free invitations that are handmade by the mother itself are the best kind of invitation. Here are some tips that will help you create the best free baby shower invitations.

• Use time to your advantage. If you’re planning to skimp on the budget for your free baby shower invitations, chances are you don’t have enough leeway in your budget to facilitate rush or express deliveries. Therefore, you need to make everything in advance so you have enough allowance for late deliveries or for hand-delivering the invitations yourself.

• Use a ready-made template to save on time. Unless you have a natural aptitude for arts and crafts or graphic design, creating a layout for your invitation could prove to be difficult and time consuming. However, there are lots of websites that provide free baby shower invitations as well as layouts that you can customize to your needs. Modify and use one of these instead. More often than not, using these layouts for free baby shower invitations will allow you to create better looking designs than if you had to conceptualize and design one from scratch.

• Follow your party’s intended theme. If you planned on hosting a party with a specific theme, make sure that your invitation reflects this. It would look like you never planned well in advance if your invitation has a pink floral theme but the guests arrived to see an “Under The Sea” baby shower.

• Write the names of the invited guests yourself instead of printing a generic invitation. Writing one or two names for every card would not take too much of your time, but will go a long way in making the guests feel that they are important and are really invited. The only disadvantage of this tip is that you must take extra care when sending the invitations out. With a generic invitation, you can just send any copy to any recipient and you wouldn’t have to worry about any mix-up, but it would be embarrassing and may result in confusion if Mr. Holmes receives an invitation addressed to Ms. Smith, and vice versa.

• Make sure that you provide the right date, time, and venue for the event in the invitation. If the venue is a little bit out of the way of some of the guests, provide a sketch or a map as an insert.

Last but not the least, if you’re going to allow uninvited acquaintances to attend, or if you think you may forget other people, mention in your invitation that the invited should “invite others”. Or better yet, plan the list of guests in advance and make sure nobody is left out when you send out the invitations.
