Making invitation cards at home is a traditional way to invite guests on a baby shower. However, nowadays sending out emails including baby pictures is also a common way to invite several guests at the same time. It's a time and money saving practice but some people still prefer the old-fashioned way of inviting guests that is by means of beautiful handmade cards with embellishments like glitter and stickers.

Some people cut out different shapes like that of a baby girl or a boy or a baby bottle and write invitations on these cut-outs. There are many sites online that provide baby shower invitation wording ideas. In addition to these, you can also search for baby shower poems and verses and add them to your invitation. They look very cute and charming and everybody enjoys them.

Some creative people create their own sayings and poems to go with a baby shower invitation card. These personalized messages look unique and attractive. Then there can be specific baby boy or baby girl poems if you know the sex of the baby. Moreover, there are poems for twins that can be included with a baby shower invitation if you or your friend is having twins.

No matter the type of invitation you choose for inviting guests on a baby shower, there are some important things to include on such an invitation. Other than the expectant mother's name and a line of invitation, you should mention the date and time of the event, venue, phone number in case someone is busy and would not be able to attend, and baby registry (if any).
