blade Fun Baby Shower Invitation Wording Ideas

blade

There's no need to run to the store only to send out mass-produced baby announcements and baby shower invitations when you can create delightfully unique photo cards from the convenience of home at a surprisingly affordable price.

Creating unique baby announcements and baby shower invitations is an excellent way to share your excitement, joy, and personal style with family and friends around the world as you tell everyone about the latest addition to your family. Instead of making yet another trip to the store and coming home with cards that look like everyone else's, you can use family photographs and dozens of template options to create cards like no other.

Whether you are naturally creative or not, the step-by-step instructions made available by quality providers, along with their wide selection of motifs, color combinations, customizable fonts, and other unique features, make it easy to put together delightful invitations and announcements.

Baby Shower Invitation Basics

All baby shower invitations must include the date, time, and exact address of the shower. They should also contain the name and contact information of the person to whom the R.S. V.P. should be sent. This provides guests with someone other than the guest of honor to talk to regarding gifts, preferences, directions, and other aspects of the event. Any registry information can also be included. Baby announcements, on the other hand, do not include registry information.

Very often, invitations are designed with the color scheme and theme of the shower itself in mind. For example, a Mother Goose shower would be printed in the traditional pastels and feature a Mother Goose rhyme, a sports motif shower would feature an announcement-style invitation decorated with sports equipment and worded as though it were a game monologue, and so on. The organizer can use the color scheme to help select the best possible photo card layout for the cards and then select those special details that make the cards unique and memorable.

Boys Will Be Boys, Girls Will Be Girls

If the gender of the new infant is known, that information can be integrated into the wording. Little girls can be referred to as a little princess, little angel, queen, duchess, or countess, whereas boys can be referred to as a little prince, king, duke, or captain. Popular gender-related phrases and poems can also be used, such as sugar and spice and everything nice, snips, snails, and puppy dog tails, little boy blue, or Mary had a little lamb. These phrases and poems can be modified to create unique baby shower invitations and shower decorating themes that everyone will enjoy.

A Personalized Party

If the gender and name are known, they can also be integrated into the wording. Monogrammed cards add a touch of elegance. For a lighter effect, selecting a theme in which everything starts with the same letter as the new infant's name. Either way, you can create a highly personalized invitation with just a little help from experts. Using the infant's name also allows guests to bring gifts that are already personalized with his or her name.

Special Touches

You can add special touches to your invitations and baby announcements with phrases such as 'special delivery' or 'a little birdie told me'. Babies expected near holidays create an additional opportunity: repurposing. Cards originally designed for holidays can be reworded to become extra special baby shower invitations or baby announcements that feature Halloween pumpkins, Christmas decorations, or 4th of July flags and banners, depending upon the time of year.

Puns and plays on words are always fun, and there are plenty of opportunities to showcase your wit when it comes to invitations. A picture of the mom-to-be with the phrase, 'Love shows' is sure to bring smiles. A family that already has a son and daughter can create a card that incorporates how they are now expecting a Full House. A parent's career can be used to create a fun invitation, and comments from siblings are especially humorous and delightful. Big brother or big sister will be pleased to see their words in print as well.

There is no need to limit yourself to traditional colors or card layouts. Post cards, save-a-date cards, pocket cards, and photo cards can all be used for both baby shower invitations and baby announcements. Also, colors are no longer limited to pinks and blues. Many parents today are opting for more natural colors such as browns, yellows, greens, and orange. No longer limited by tradition, you can now create cards unlike any other to announce your one-of-a-kind family member, or even to introduce your new triplets.

blade Bridal Showers, The Basics And More

blade

Every bride deserves to be treated special as she prepares for her wedding. Planning a bridal shower is one of the things she should not have to stress about. Whether you are the maid of honor, a sister of the bride, or a relative who wants to help make her approaching wedding even more special, you may be involved in planning and creating a shower for her.

What is a Bridal Shower?

A bridal shower is a party to celebrate the upcoming wedding with the bride. The purpose is twofold; first, to celebrate and rejoice together about the coming joining together of the bride and groom. The second purpose of the bridal shower is to “shower” the bride with gifts. Usually the gifts are items she will use as a new wife. They can range between personal items, such as lingerie, to practical items, such as kitchen ware. There is almost no limit when it comes to what is appropriate for a bridal shower gift, unless there are personal preferences.

Who is Invited

Most often the etiquette for a bridal shower is followed. The entire bridal party (women only), the mother of both the bride and the groom, and all other women who are invited to the wedding, are generally included in the list of who to invite to a bridal shower.

Some brides have more than one shower, and the guest list is broken down into sections. If there is more than one shower, the list may be split up. Sometimes it is split into family of the bride, family of the groom, friends of the families, and friends of the bride and groom.

These guest guidelines are for traditional bridal showers, which would not include men. If you are throwing a more modern Jack and Jill shower, you may add men to the list in the same categories.

What to Plan For a Bridal Shower

Food; You can do as much or as little food at the shower as you and the bride prefer. Finger foods are fairly easy and inexpensive to have. You will want to include either a cake or something similar such as cupcakes.

Decorations: Decorating does not have to be expensive. You can easily use photos of the bride and groom, streamers, and balloons, and come up with a variety of attractive decorations. Many brides like to have their wedding colors incorporated into the decorations.

Games and Prizes; Games are a great way to have fun, break the ice, and help people get to know the bride and groom better. There are usually inexpensive prizes for the winners of the games. A minimum of two games is suggested, depending on how long they take.

Don't Forget

As the hostess of the shower, you will want to arrange to have someone in charge of writing down what gifts the bride receives and who gives each gift. This will make sending thank you notes much easier for her when the time comes. It may also be a good idea to have someone assigned to taking pictures. That way the memories you are making will be recorded for many years.

blade Throwing a baby shower that will never be forgotten

blade

One of the most memorable events an expecting mother looks forward to is celebrating her baby shower.Throwing a baby shower is a perfect way to celebrate the addition of a new member to a loved one's family.

Who is deciding to throw a Baby Shower?

Baby showers are often thrown by a close friend or family member. Traditional baby showers dictates that someone other than a family member throws the baby shower, but this certainly does not have to be the case and many women go against this and welcome any offers from family willing to throw a party on their and babys behalf.

Time to prepare ahead of Time: Important steps you need to know

Planning and throwing a shower can be an overwelming task if you go into it unprepared. It certainly does not have to be however, if you keep a few things in mind.One of the most important tasks is planning where and when the baby shower will occur. Baby showers are held before mom gives birth, but this is not always the case and certainly does not have to be. Some mothers are superstitious and prefer to have the baby shower after birth, to ensure the happy and healthy delivery of their newborn. There are so many baby shower party suppies to choose from. Be sure if you are planning the happy event to check in with mom to be to ensure you plan it at a time that is comfortable for her.Most showers are held in someones home other than that of the new mom. Typically the person throwing the baby shower hosts the party at their house or at an alternate location such as a restaurant or hall. Baby showers are a relatively recent tradition, generally credited as having their start in the US. A baby shower is usually a relatively casual event, held in the afternoon or early evening, often with refreshments provided and sometimes party games held as well. It is not uncommon to have a potluck shower, where guests each bring a food item along with a gift, although fully catered showers are also quite common.

Invitations

The next step in planning a baby shower is figuring out who to invite. The guest list should be the responsibility of the guest of honor. Letting mom create the baby shower invitation list will ensure that no one gets left out.Most showers held are women-only parties, though this trend is rapidly changing. As fathers continue to become more involved in the planning for new babies, many couples are starting to hold co-ed shower that invite couples. Be sure to check in again with the guest of honor to ensure that the theme of the party matches her preferences.One last tip to consider prior to throwing the party is finding out where an expectant mom is registered. Including this information on the invitation or having it available to give out to guests will truly help mom receive special gifts that will match her preferences for babys first year. One of the reasons for throwing a shower is to help new parents collect much needed items for babys first year such as layette items, baby toys and clothes, and often gift certificates for useful things. It is not untoward for the expectant parents to draw up a "wish list" of items they especially need but may be having difficulty affording.

Themes

Deciding on a baby shower theme can add fun and excitement to the party. Be sure to decorate with a variety of baby shower party decorations. The theme of the party for an expectant parent who is having a boy baby might be something as simple as a color, such as "blue". Guests might be encouraged to bring gifts that correspond with the nursery room theme as well. Many parents for example, design babys room with a certain theme in mind such as ducks. Guests might consider bringing items that match this idea. Even the cake and decorations can be designed to incorporate a selected topic or idea.

Games

No baby shower would be complete without playing a few fun games. One popular and traditional baby shower party game involves having everyone get together in a circle and write down one piece of advice for the mom to be. Another one might have everyone right down one prediction for the new babys future. These cards can be collected at the end of the party and stored in babys memory book for review at a later date, providing a wonderful memento for mommy to be and baby. Though it is not required, some hosts provide gag gifts for anyone participating in a game. This can be a fun way to allow mom and guests enjoy the gift giving bonanza.

Note

While many parents-to-be look forward to having a baby shower, some social groups feel such celebrations are best left as family affairs, or believe that it is bad luck to celebrate a birth before it happens. If you offer to host a shower for an expectant friend, don't be hurt if she politely declines. In other cases, the mother-to-be may have multiple showers! Perhaps one for co-workers and casual friends, and one for close friends and family. Some women have a baby shower only for their first child, while others may choose to have one for every pregnancy. Baby showers are not bound by rigid traditions to the same extent as weddings and other life events, so don't be surprised if a new friend's baby shower is nothing like the last one you attended. There is really no "wrong" way to throw a baby shower, so if you have been charged with hosting a shower for a friend or relative, it's an "anything goes" affair (so long as you have the guest of honor's stamp of approval for your plans!).

blade Baby is Coming, Are you ready?

blade

It has been a long pregnancy. You are probably tired and feeling worn more often then not. But, are you prepared for baby's arrival? Do you have all the baby clothes, baby furniture and bedding that you need? Perhaps you aren't even sure what you need to have? Not to worry, even if you didn't have a baby shower to help you prepare, you can find all the items you need for baby right under your nose!

One of the biggest worries when a mom to be is preparing for baby is the baby's room. Having the proper baby furniture and bedding is essential. But, what do you need and what isn't necessary? Sure, it's nice to have a whole room designed to a nursery theme with crib, rocker, bassinet, and changing table. But, all of those products aren't necessary and in fact, baby isn't going to care what she gets her diaper changed on. Changing tables are one thing that can be eliminated as well as the bassinet. Cribs and baby bedding are made to support any size baby from a newborn to a toddler. So, while these products are great to have, don't worry if you don't have them.

As for baby clothing, you will want to pamper baby for sure with cute outfits, little booties, and hats. But, the truth of the matter is, during the beginning months of baby's life, he or she won't have too many big outings to go to. In fact, mom and baby will probably spend a lot of their time resting up for the next feeding in the middle of the night. Again, yes it is great to have a dresser full of cuteness, but reality is, a few cute outfits will do just as well. Now, you should not short yourself on onesies and sleepers. Baby will spend most of his or her day in these and will more then likely need a few per day depending on how much baby decides to spit up. Don't forget the diapers! Having several burping clothes and blankets will also help.

Does all this discourage you? Every parent wants to give their child the best every step of the way. But, having the best furniture and clothing isn't going to help baby in any way. If you really want to find some or all of these items but don't have a large budget to work with, you do have other options. The most obvious of these is to ask family and friends for hand me downs. More then likely, they will be happy to lend you the items they no longer need. Or, if someone is asking you what you need, don't be afraid to tell them what you would like to have. Also, search around garage sales and thrift shops. You can clean and repaint just about anything you find. Saving money this way will help with the ever demanding diaper fund you will have to have!
