Planning a baby shower? It all starts with the invites. But unlike other parties where you’re just required to cover the basics—when, where, why and how to RSVP—baby shower invitation wording usually includes a bit of a boost about the sex of the baby, what the parents need and what kind of occasion the day will bring.

You might need baby shower invitation wording for a boy or baby sprinkle wording for growing families. If the parents would like limited items, that may mean bring-a-book instead of a card wording or diaper shower invitation wording.

Whatever kind of baby shower invitation wording you need, rest assured the list we’ve created is just like a diaper—that is, it’s got you and baby covered. See what strikes your fancy, then find the perfect stationery to get your message across. (Minted is a great place to start.)

Bring a Book Instead of a Card Wording

Greeting cards are nice, but the parents and baby are sure to get more use from books instead. Use bring-a-book instead of card wording on the baby shower invitation to let guests know they can skip the card aisle in exchange for a better cover-to-cover read.

%% CALLOUT 6hYoX5Z6o0KgmOOy0eCaIu %%

Skip the card for a book instead, we want baby to be well-read!

%% CALLOUT 3YrlZouyNiiQGeMIkmwqKG %%

Help build baby’s library by writing your well-wishes in a favorite children’s book instead of a greeting card.

Baby Sprinkle Wording

Adding to a growing family usually means baby's parents don’t need as many of the “big” baby items, such as strollers, play pens and tummy time toys. However, while big brother or sister may have plenty to share from their baby days, the new little one will still need diapers, wipes, gift cards and other non-reusable basics. That’s when it’s time to transition from baby shower wording to baby sprinkle wording. These openers are perfect to pair with a list of things seasoned parents specifically need for their new addition.

%% CALLOUT 4QPB5GAHhu8a8YGaquQEeK %%

Little babies are filled with so much fun! We’ve decided to have another one.

%% CALLOUT 22aftPM63OA8KkWIaiAkSe %%

With another sweet baby along on the way, we hope you'll join us to brighten the day.

%% CALLOUT 1MLp3bl8QQA6WQ4i2aqgGK %%

Two little hands and sweet little feet, another baby makes our family complete!

Gender Reveal Invitation Wording

Finding out if new baby-to-be is a boy or girl is a big moment for the proud parents-to-be. While some parents celebrate it with the doctor during an ultrasound or on the day of delivery, others want to make it more magical by making the announcement surrounded by family and friends. Whether it be slicing into a pink or blue cake, breaking into a colorful confetti-filled piñata or turning the fun into a gender guessing game, the following are lines you need for gender reveal invitation wording.

%% CALLOUT pIWm1ZG5NIqcw4Aie8g0M %%

Boy or girl? We’ll soon know who will be the star of our show.

%% CALLOUT wSZBpvJE1UwEk2GeS0yGM %%

It could be a he. It could be a she. Join us to learn what baby will be!

%% CALLOUT 6g1S33W1Yka6Uw8MuqEyKu %%

Diaper Shower Invitation Wording

There isn’t a better way to say it: When baby’s born, shit gets real. Literally. Thankfully there are diapers to keep baby covered. And with the little one wearing diapers for a least a year or two, any help the parents-to-be can get in the baby bottom department can help from blowing their monthly baby budget. That’s where a diaper shower comes in handy. Perfect for a work baby shower or for parents having twins, try the following diaper shower invitation wording to let guests know the party is B.Y.O.D.

%% CALLOUT 3a9tizwgwUeKai8wY0aWMm %%

Every party needs a pooper, and she’s arriving soon. Help us “pamper” our little girl at a diaper shower.

%% CALLOUT 4nIsGtsBJYiuKusIiqy6iC %%
