Expecting a baby is such an exciting time for everyone involved, but most importantly the parents! You’ll want to throw a shower for the expectant parents to celebrate and help them gather what they need on the registry for this momentous occasion. Let’s send out our baby invitations first, shall we?

Planning a Blue Baby Shower

Planning a shower is so much fun and you can use your creativity to make it original and exactly what you want. It takes thoughtful planning and some creative ideas to make this event a hit. First, choose your invites. Blue is a popular colour but it can be used for any sort of invitation design or theme. It works for either gender where an array of shades allows you to be very versatile with this colour.

Finding the Right Style

Look for baby invitation styles that include animals, the baby blue palette, or characters that work well with the blue theme you’ve selected. Blue is such a “staple” colour as it is easy to work with and be creative. The possibilities really are endless. Play around with this theme at your baby shower to match the invite you’ve selected by placing colourful balloons, stuffed animals, and decorations throughout the shower location to keep the theme streamlined, organised and stylish.

Where to Find Invitations

You’ll find blue baby shower invitations at any of your local photography studios, printers and publishers but you will never find as large a selection of styles and designs as you will find on the internet. However if you choose to buy local that’s a great idea too. With the blue theme you’re planning on it will be easy to find exactly what you need online or otherwise!

You’ve chosen a theme and colour palette that really works well with an array of themes, styles, party ideas, and more. Enjoy the party planning process and have fun with it! The expectant parents will love the time and energy you’ve put into this as well.

Planning a baby shower is a fun and exciting time for everyone. Planning a party is an honour to do, and the ones you’re planning it for will enjoy it immensely! After setting the date, you’ll want to choose your unique baby invitations for your baby shower.

Choosing your Invites

Choosing your unique baby invitations is among some of the first tasks of planning your event. You’ll want to choose an invitation design that goes well with the theme and style of the baby shower you’re planning. Your invitation size and shape doesn’t have to be the standard size; as you can choose an array of shapes and styles for your unique baby invitation.

DIY Baby Invitations

Your baby invitations don’t have to be store bought or from your local party store; why not make them? There are many DIY templates, tutorials, cutouts and more available online to help you make your own baby invitations without having to use store bought ones. You can add appliqués, stickers, buttons or other craft materials to make them original and unique to your baby shower and the baby on the way.

Party Planning

Once your unique baby invitations are made, bought or printed, you’ll be able to enjoy the rest of the party planning process. Enjoy cooking up a fun menu, decorating to reflect the theme and creating fun games and entertainment ideas that work well with the unique baby invitation and its’ theme. Your guests will love the time, energy, and creativity you put into this event!

Planning a baby shower is a memorable event for everyone; from choosing your unique invitations and planning the menu to decorating and hosting this party, everyone will enjoy every moment of this occasion. Happy planning and enjoy this fun time!

Planning for the arrival of your little one is such a fun and exciting time. There’s so much to do, plan for, enjoy, and expect as you wait in anticipation of your little one. One of the fun parts of waiting for your baby is to have a baby shower in celebration of your baby on the way.  It’s time for those cute little baby shower invitations to be sent out!

Yellow Baby Invitations

You’ll want to send out your baby shower invitations as soon as possible. You can do a bunch of different themes and designs with yellow; some traditional, some modern, and some DIY. It just depends what type of baby shower you’re throwing and what you’d like the theme to be.

Yellow Inspiration

Your yellow baby invitations can have animals on them like yellow baby ducks; yellow teddy bears or even yellow honeybees. The yellow can be used with patterns like the popular chevron pattern; the zigzag up and down pattern that’s being used for an array of design ideas. Polka dots are extremely popular this season and can be used for both genders if this is a non-gender specific party. Sunshine, umbrellas, rain boots, and other cute forms of the weather forecast are another great theme to go with for your yellow baby invitations. Having a baby girl? That is easy enough. Use this yellow colour on your baby invitations for things like flowers, yellow ribbons, a princess crown, and more.

Baby Shower Ideas

If you’ve chosen a specific colour scheme for your baby shower theme, you might as well you use it throughout the entire event. The baby shower invitation always gives guests a firsthand preview at what they can expect for the shower, so once you send off that cute yellow invitation they can have an idea of what to expect. Use the yellow colour for balloon colours, streamers, cake frosting colours, paper goods, and more.

Many couples want to keep the gender of the baby a secret or a surprise to the both of them, so the colour yellow would be a great option for your baby shower and baby shower invitations. It’s a gender neutral colour and much can be done with it when choosing a theme.

Planning and preparing for a baby is one of the most exciting times in a parent’s life. A celebration is in order! Sending out baby invitations for the baby shower is a step in planning the baby shower that should happen before the planning goes underway. This season, patterns are trending for baby invitations; giving guests a firsthand glance at how wonderful this celebration of a baby will be.

Chevron Pattern

The chevron pattern is a popular trend for various events in 2013. The vertical or horizontal “zigzag” pattern is a popular one in a variety of colours, working well for several events like baby showers and baby invitations. It blends modern style and simplicity in one clean, chic pattern.

Floral Pattern

If the little one on the way is a girl, then using flowers on your baby invitations is a pattern that would be ideal, especially to use on your baby shower invitations. Tiny floral prints with a shabby chic look, or bigger flowers for a more elegant pattern, you can’t go wrong with such a feminine gorgeous pattern like this.

Dotty Pattern

Your baby invitations are a fun way to let guests know the upcoming event. The design on the invites also convey the type of shower you’re about to have for the baby to be. Dots, in various styles, sizes, and colours can be used on your baby invitations, regardless of the expected gender of the little one.

Damask Pattern

The damask pattern is a mix between modern and elegant style, used as a vintage symbol and pattern for an array of styles and designs. This is a great pattern for a classy, stylish shower for the fashionable mother to be and baby on the way.

You should send out your baby invitations out anywhere between four to six weeks before the baby shower. Allow your guests to have time to RSVP within the time given on your baby invitations. Remember that the theme on your baby invitations also helps guests figure out what type of baby celebration your shower will be—the pattern, the style, the font, the information on the baby invitation helps them figure out what to expect before arriving. Your guests will be so excited to attend this shower after receiving your patterned baby invitation in the mail.

Have fun planning, and take advantage of the fun patterned trends out right now for your baby invitations and baby shower!

Having a baby is one of the most important and special milestones in your life. It’s a time to celebrate and enjoy the precious gift of life. A great way to mark this occasion is to celebrate with a baby shower. Preparing for your precious little one is a fun and busy time, let’s kick it off with a party! We’ve compiled some of the best baby invitations for your precious little one.

Baby Boho

All things bohemian are popular and trendy right now. Why not use them for your baby invitations? While this is a good theme idea for the expecting of a baby girl, you can use it to create beautiful invitations. Paisley prints, mini-floral patterns, and rustic colour palettes are beautiful and classic. Use them to create beautiful invitations as you prepare for your precious little one and the shower being thrown for her!

Classic Chevron

The chevron trend is huge this year, and can be used for either gender as you prep and plan for your baby shower and choose invitations. The chevron pattern is the horizontal zigzag pattern that has a modern flair to it. You can choose whatever colour you want as well as the background colour to customise it properly for the baby’s gender and the expecting parents’ style. We love this style as its modern, classic while also looks great for whatever themed shower you’re throwing. A style like this will make you the trendiest parents around!

Nursery Invites

Decorating and planning the baby’s nursery is such a fun time for the expectant parents. It is the room that the baby will grow and develop in, spending countless hours in it playing, changing nappies and creating memories. Many parents choose a specific theme for this room, so why not implement that same creative theme, and use it for the baby invites? Use the same colour scheme, characters or story being used in the nursery on the invitations. It’s a creative way to connect with the expectant parents and their anticipation for the baby on the way!

Planning a baby shower is an honour for those setting it up, and those attending it. Choosing baby invites for your precious little one, regardless of your role in the baby’s life (mom, aunt, godmother, etc.) is a run part of the party planning process. Have fun planning and choosing the invitations, décor, and all of the shower extras!

So, you’re in charge of planning an event; maybe it’s a baby shower or another type of party. Where do you start, and how do you ensure that it is one of the best events ever? We will show you the party planning basics. Welcome to Baby Invitations and Events 101!

Choosing Your Invitations

Depending on the event at hand, you’ll want to ensure that you let guests know what event to expect beforehand. This is done by sending out invitations three to four weeks before the event. Wedding invitations are of course to be sent out months before, but for baby shower, christening invites or other party events, several weeks ahead of time is just fine. You’ll want to pick out an invitation that best conveys what type of event you are having. For baby shower invites, the possibilities, styles, and trends are endless. Choose an invite that best represents the host or host, and the event itself.

Colours and Design

It’s amazing what colour can do in every situation. It conveys mood, themes, personality, communication, and much more. Make sure your colours for this event, whether it is a party, work event or baby shower; convey the type of event you’ll want to have. Baby invitations are easy to pick out colour wise as the pastel colour palettes are the most readily available and popular. Stick to gender-neutral colours if you’re unsure what gender the party is for (in the instance of a baby shower) and avoid colour specific colours (pink for girl, blue for boy) if the hostess wishes to keep the gender a secret.

Decor + Food

Once you’ve picked you invitations, your date, and colour palette you can choose the decorations and meal that accompany this event the best. Be sure to work within your budget and try your hardest to have it correlate with the theme you’ve chosen. For instance, you wouldn’t want to have Asian cuisine served at a “Mexican Fiesta” Baby Shower. Make sure you plan accordingly with invites, colours, design, decor, and food so this party is a success.

Planning an event, whether it is for a baby shower or any sort of event can be stressful at times. However, if you remain organised and keep your focus on this event being a success, you will be sure to throw a great occasion!

Announcing the birth of your baby? Congrats! Many future parents (or already parents) choose to send out a birth announcement to let their family and friends knowing the expected exciting arrival. Many parents also stick to the traditional party with basic pink or blue invites, without much flair. So, here’s to the trendy parents. Let these ideas inspire and make you want to throw a trendy baby shower with trendy baby invites!

Go Beyond the Typical Design

Go chic, or go home! Choose from some chic and elegant options like a High tea invitation design, little price or princess — this is great alternative to the basic and plain pink or blue. Pamper the momma (your guest of honour) with a spa party. Arrange for things like pedis, facials, or mani’s. If your momma to be is “green” and loves organic, clean living, plan a party with natural spa or massage products to pamper her and keep the environment healthy! Other classic, yet chic ideas include Sunday Brunch or a Coffee/Espresso party. Your invites can reflect whatever design you choose.

Traditional, Yet Trendy

You can be traditional yet still keep up with the trends. Storybook showers are becoming a popular trend, as you can have guests bring a favourite storybook to start the baby’s library. You can also do a classic nursery trend; match the invites, plates, napkins, and decorations with stories of classic rhymes that we’ve all loved throughout the years.

Creative + Crafty

Scrapbooking continues to be a popular hobby for new moms and women alike. Create a trendy invite using a scrapbook theme and have guests bring supplies to create the pages of the mom-to-be’s scrapbook for her expectant baby. Bring-a-meal is another popular shower theme, and this can be utilised for the baby shower invite theme as well. guests can bring non-perishable supplies as their gift to create easy meals for the new mom (be sure to have them include a fun recipe, too!) “Help-the-family” is another trending baby shower theme. Guests bring “coupons” to help the expectant parents with tasks around the house, babysitting, deals on local restaurants, diaper services, and more. Add fun graphics for the home on your invites to convey this original, yet heartfelt theme.

Creating trendy invites is easy and fun as you plan the baby shower for the expectant parents. Fun, trendy, and new ideas are easy to come up with and even more fun to plan!

Planning for a baby’s arrival is one of the most important milestones an adult can anticipate. You’re most likely planning and preparing the nursery months before the baby is due and rightfully so! As you plan and prepare for the arrival of your child, it’s typical to throw a baby shower in honour the baby before he or she arrives. You’ll need baby invitations for the baby shower, right? The expecting couple or a friend or family member usually does this. Expecting a baby is an exciting time for all, especially the expecting parents!

Invite Colour Schemes

There are plenty of invite themes to take a look at when planning a baby shower. Using the nursery colour scheme is a great scheme to implement as you plan this baby shower! Most likely, the nursery colours will reflect the expectant couple and perhaps the gender of the baby. Ask the expectant couple for paint swatches and try your best to match it up with a corresponding invite scheme. Use that colour palette throughout the baby shower planning. 

Nursery Colour Palette Themes

Colours for baby shower invitations and nurseries are usually easy to pick out and choose. You have your unisex colours of the pastel yellows or Zen greens, both colour hues that allow this to work regardless of the gender of the baby, as some parents wish to have it be a surprise until after the baby is born. You also have the baby blue scheme that works for either a boy or even a girl, especially if you want to stand out. Baby shower invites for girls using this theme usually use the Tiffany Blue or 5th Avenue Blue as some event planners call it, while baby showers celebrating a baby boy might opt for a Baby Blue or Cornflower Blue. Pink is of course the colour anticipating a baby girl. There are many shades of pink one can use on the invites including a Shabby Chic Pink (more vintage style), the Bubblegum Pink (happy and modern), or a faded, nearly Mauve Pink.

Planning the Shower

Planning the baby’s shower is a fun time for everyone involved, and it’s exciting to see how much colour plays a huge role in the plan and preparations. Utilise the colour schemes throughout every aspect of the shower. From the shower invitations reflecting the nursery, to the cake and menu tableware, to the decorations, and even the goodie bags.

Planning a baby shower is a fun and exciting occasion. Enjoy the experience and have fun planning!

Planning a party for your baby is an exciting and fun time, but it can also be a stressor as you look to find the perfect theme for your child’s special day. Just because an adult is throwing the party, doesn’t mean the theme should showcase the style of the adult. It’s a baby’s party– let your party theme and baby invitations reflect that! Trends vary and change as per the season and age of the child; so it is important to keep up with the times and trends. Your first step in planning for a party is to choose the theme. In this article, we are dealing with youngsters and children; so it is important that the colour scheme and theme consider with that.

Baby Invite Styles

Your invitations allow the guest to have a sneak preview of what sort of party you’ll be having. Once you decide on a theme, you can send out invitations that coincide with that theme. Pastels are a popular colour scheme that tends to mesh well regardless of the style of the parent or gender of the baby. With the pastel colour scheme, you can choose from an array of baby invitations that your anticipated guests will find classy and trendy. The basic pastel colours of yellow, blue, green, and pink go well with the font and style template of your choosing.

Party Decor Popular Styles

When planning a party for a baby and deciding on the party decor and baby invitations, it’s reassuring to realise that you really cannot go wrong when choosing the theme or party decor. The theme for a baby is very broad and versatile, and many classic trends tend to carry over from one season to the next. For instance, a baby animal theme is a party theme with party decor that can be used anytime of the year as long as it’s for a baby. Jungle themes, safari themes, or barnyard animal themes are all great fun themes for your baby’s party; and finding baby invitations that go well with party decor such as this is an easy task to fulfil. Remember to have fun with it and enjoy the designing process as you put this party together!

Planning Your Party: Boy or Girl?

While the pastel scheme really works well with both a baby girl and baby boy, there are some things you should veer away from when planning your party and deciding on baby invitations and party decor. Obviously, steer away from the pink and feminine touches if this is a party for a baby boy. A neutral, versatile colour scheme is one with plenty of yellows, blues, and greens.

Choosing your party decor and invitations for your baby is a fun and easy process of the planning process. Enjoy it, and enjoy your baby’s celebration at hand! Happy planning!
