Shower Etiquette: Invitations
Should I have special invitations and stationary
printed for my baby shower?
It is not generally necessary to have specially printed stationary
for a baby shower. The usual way is to go to a greeting card store
or craft store and buy stationary, invitations with a baby theme,
or to make your own invitations. Stickers, stamps and even little
charms are available for this purpose. It's a good idea to send
the invitations three weeks or more before the planned shower to
give all the guests plenty of opportunity to make necessary arrangements
and for you to find out how many guests will actually be attending.
Be sure to include on the invitation the name of the hostess and
a RSVP telephone number and if appropriate the theme of the baby
shower and if any of the guests are unfamiliar with the location
of where the baby shower is being held, you should also send them
a copy of a suitable map.
