Baby Shower Invitations

Once again, I AM NOT pregnant, but I still enjoy looking at baby items as well as browsing baby shower themes. It's like I told my husband the other day, "Sweetie, I don't want a baby for a while, I just want to accessorize one now." With that in mind, I want to talk to you today about invitations.

Invitations set the mood for your event. This doesn't mean that you should spend thousands of dollars out of your budget in order to have an amazing invitation, but it does mean that you should put some thought into what you're sending to people. Think of it as marketing your event. The better you market your party/event, the more likely it is that a guest will attend.

Hand-made invitations are totally acceptable, just make sure that they look put together and clean...unless you're going for the ragged party look.

The following invitations are some that I found on etsy. I love how fun and put together these look.


Now, try to tell me that you're not going to go to those parties just to see the decor and layout that the invitation hints about! What I love about these etsy products is that the designer will specialize the invitation to suit your needs and then for $10 - $20 they will give you the file and you can print off as many as you want!

In my searching, I found a paper graphics designer who I just fell in love with. Check out her stuff on etsy, she is called "andersruff".

Enjoy searching for the perfect invitation and remember, you don't have to pay thousands or even hundreds, just make sure that you put some effort into the 'marketing of your event'.
