Baby Invitation Ideas for a Baby Girl

Planning a baby shower for parents-to-be becomes easier and more fun when you learn the baby will be girl. Then, you get to choose girl-specific invitations, themes and decorations for the shower. Baby invitations should tie into the shower specifically, so choose colors and a theme before choosing baby invitations.

The exact origins of baby showers are unknown although birth celebrations date back to Egyptian and Roman times. It is thought that family and friends visited once the child was born to see the baby and bring gifts. Traditional baby showers date back to the time period after World War II, known as the Baby Boom.

Choosing baby invitations that match or closely resemble the nursery decor for the baby girl serve to let potential guests know what the nursery will be like. That way, if they want to purchase something for the nursery, it will coordinate with the decorating plans of the parents. For example, if the nursery will be decorated with purple butterflies, choose baby invitations that showcase purple butterfly designs. Insert or write a note or poem letting guests know that’s how the baby’s room will be decorated.

Sending baby invitations for a baby shower, while letting everyone know the child will be a girl allows the parents-to-be to receive gifts specially for a girl. Many women enjoy shopping for a baby girl as there are so many choices in apparel, decorations and princess-like-girly items.

Add inserts or lines to include information that will be helpful for guests as they shop for a baby shower gift. Besides the time, date and address; add the mom-to-be’s registry information, colors and theme of the nursery and any other pertinent information. For example, if the nursery, shower theme or both will be pink bunnies; send baby invitations that showcase pink bunnies.

Choosing a feminine baby invitation style, even if you opt not to include specific words like “It’s a Girl,” will also serve to let friends and family know the mom-to-be will deliver a girl. Use a picture of the sonogram, pink bows or a color scheme that points to little girls such as pink and brown, purple and lime green or turquoise and brown.
