Baby Shower Invite Wording

A Free Printable Invite For Your Gender Reveal Party

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m kind of obsessed with the website On To Baby .  It’s chock-full of lovely ideas for all things related to babies and mommies.  I’m sure many of you have perused this site before, but I just had to point out the free printables section they have.

If you go there you can customize and download three different stationery suites for baby showers, complete with invitations, favor stickers and label cards for the food table, etc.  You have the option of an umbrella theme, bunting theme or a baby pram theme and can customize the colors and text.

Since I won’t be having a baby shower for quite some time still, I decided to take advantage of these shower invites and use them as a template for our gender reveal party invites, by simply changing some of the text.  Check out the finished product after the jump!
