Remembering everything for a baby shower is pretty much an impossible feat. There will inevitably be something that is forgotten, but no one will care as long as everyone is having fun and the mother to be is calm and happy. If you are hosting this type of event, one of the first things to get off your plate is the invitations. You want them out the door as soon as possible so guests can reserve that time and day. To get you ready for this, here are some things to incorporate in your baby shower invitation wording.

1.    One of the easiest things to know to incorporate into an invitation is the time, day, date, and location. These are the most vital components.
2.    You have got to get an idea of how many people will be showing up and the only way to get this information is to have a line with RSVP information. Put a phone number, email or even a facebook contact so people can let you know if they will be attending.
3.    Girl or boy? Guests want to know, and so do you. This will help you do the invitations easier and help you plan the shower accordingly.
4.    Your invitation should reflect the formality of the event. If you will be drinking tea and talking all afternoon then an elegant font on crisp vellum seems appropriate. If you will be playing games where you dress up in old cheap wedding dresses and dancing around, then you will want bright pink and black covering the invitation. You get the point.
5.    Tell people what to buy the new mother. This again, is most easily done with a registry. Put the stores that the new mother has registered at near the bottom in a small font. Many people will be very appreciative of this small favor.
