Baby Shower Invitation Wording

Baby shower invitation wording should clearly tell guests who is being celebrated, the date, time and location, how to RSVP, and any registry or gift details. A warm, simple opening works best: “Join us to celebrate [Parent’s Name] and the little one on the way.” Send invitations about four to six weeks before the shower.
