A place to discuss announcement cards
Certain information should be conveyed by the baby shower invitations, no matter what the format. Include the names of the expectant mother and host or hosts, shower location, date and time, directions, contact information for responses and questions, baby registry, shower theme and dress. Make sure you also plan for enough time to either order or prepare your baby shower invitations and mail them out well in advance of the shower date. The invitations should go out approximately two months in advance of the shower date and allow your guests two weeks to respond. Then you will have enough lead time to invite others who may be on a back up guest list and give either your shower caterer or yourself a head count.
