Frequently Asked Questions

When should I send baby shower invitations?
Send invitations 4-6 weeks before the shower date. This gives guests time to RSVP and plan their schedules, especially for out-of-town guests.
What information should I include on the invitation?
Include the date, time, location, host contact information, RSVP deadline, gift registry details, and any special instructions (like virtual links or dress code).
Should I include the baby's gender on the invitation?
Only include the gender if the parents have announced it publicly. For surprise gender reveals, keep it neutral or add a "gender reveal" note.
How do I handle RSVPs for a virtual baby shower?
Include clear RSVP instructions with the virtual meeting link, time zone information, and any pre-shower activities like gift opening or games.
Can I ask for specific gifts on the invitation?
It's better to include registry information rather than specific gift requests. You can mention "gifts appreciated but not required" to be inclusive.
