Bow invitations.
Bows are a cute detail for a baby shower invitation, and they don’t have to go with a specific cartoony theme. We have designs with straight or scalloped edges, and with double and single-sided versions.
Monogram designs.
Add the parents’ monogram to the invitation to make it a classy party from the start. This is great to set a more formal tone, maybe for a party that will be held at a nice restaurant or for a brunch party at an upscale venue.
Gingham designs.
Using a classic pattern like gingham is a good way to set a casual tone and still have the party feel more grown up. This can set a nice mood but still be a little more casual, or it can have a country feel depending on the color of the gingham.
This yellow version is a classic that can be gender neutral or for a girl. It has a bow but it doesn’t feel bow-themed because of the larger gingham pattern.
This arched version of the design is a fun alternative to the usual squared-off edges, and makes the invitation feel a little more whimsical.
We also have a version with a larger gingham bow in a shade of yellow.
