What You Should Know About Custom Baby Shower Invitations

By Miranda Sweeney


Having a baby is one of the dreams of every individual. Being a parent also gives you a clear cut goal in life, as if the baby has paved the way to where you should be. Being a parent does not begin at the handing out of custom baby shower invitations to guests and ends after graduation. The bond between parent and child actually lasts forever.

A baby shower is often included in the customs and cultures of people all over the globe. This happy affair is done to shower the incoming mommy with gifts, both material or otherwise. This is attended by the people who are close to the future parents.

The first showers some years back are made to celebrates the birth of the first child in the new family only. These were also the kind of a ladies only event, where the guests are mostly those who have experienced what it feels like to be a mother. They swap funny and sometimes accounts about motherhood over tea and cakes, and give out gifts for the mother to use once the baby comes.

Today, both genders can be invited to the said event. They are also done even for the subsequent and adopted children, if ever. They are also thrown by someone close to the incoming parents, such as a very close friend or relative. This is to prevent people from thinking that the parents are asking for gifts themselves.

Most showers are given before the due date for delivery, six to eight weeks before the said date, at most. Giving a party before the child comes gives the parents ample time to set up the nursery room and fill it up with the gifts from the well wishers. This helps so as to avoid having double of a certain baby stuff, such as double the crib and the like.

Another reason is to provide support for the new mom before she gives birth. During their last trimester, pregnant ladies often feel crappy and stressed. Throwing her a party is sure to lighten her spirits up. It is also better to hold it before the child arrives to give the new mother time to adjust to her new lifestyle.

Of course, every party needs a concrete plan, and it starts with the invitations and the party list. The host or hostess must coordinate with the couple to make sure no one important is missed out. As early as possible, you must gather the addresses, be it electronic mail or residential, of the guests. The parents can decide whether to invite ladies only, or have a mixed gender sort of thing.

These little cards are a very quintessential part of the whole thing. Without it, the guests will mot be able to come to the party. Some just buy these in specialty stores, but more people are having theirs customized.

These specially designed ones instantly make the whole affair more special and less generic. The unique cards can feature a design that symbolizes what the parents to be feel about this new chapter in their life. These should also be sent out to the guests three weeks before the schedule, then the hostess could proceed to finalizing all the details.
