Who to Invite
Generally, close friends and family of the mother should be invited. It is a good idea to ask the mom-to-be to
finalize the guest list to ensure no one has been accidentally forgotten. If the shower is not the first shower for
the mom, one acceptable way to shorten the guest list is to only invite close friends or those who have not been to
previous showers.
When to Throw a Baby Shower
Showers are typically thrown for an expecting mom a month or two before the baby's due date. This allows the
expecting mother to take inventory of what she still needs to buy after the shower and before the baby arrives. A
Welcoming Shower can be thrown a few weeks after the baby is born to accommodate special out-of-town
relatives who come to see the baby after the birth but cannot travel to the baby shower.
When to Send Out Invites
It is commonly accepted to send out invitations 2-3 weeks prior to the event. If guests include out of town guests,
you may send the invitations a little earlier.
How to Invite Guests
The printed invitation is the preferred way invite guests to a baby shower. Printed invitations should include the
important details including the party theme and specifically any items the guests are supposed to bring for the
mom.
