What should a baby shower invitation include?

A complete baby shower invitation should include: the mom-to-be's name (and baby's name if known), date, time, venue address, RSVP deadline and contact, and registry information. For a gender reveal, skip the baby's name if it's part of the reveal. Dress code and parking information can be added for larger events.

How far in advance should baby shower invitations be sent?

Send baby shower invitations 4–6 weeks before the event. This gives guests enough time to RSVP, make travel arrangements if needed, and shop for a gift. For destination showers or events near major holidays, send invitations 6–8 weeks in advance.

What's a baby sprinkle vs. a baby shower?

A baby sprinkle is a smaller, more intimate celebration typically held for a second or third pregnancy. The idea is that the parents already have most of the big-ticket items, so guests bring smaller gifts — hence "sprinkle" instead of full "shower." Sprinkle invitations often note this context so guests know smaller gifts are welcome.

Should I include registry information on the invitation?

Yes — it's completely appropriate to include registry details on a baby shower invitation (unlike wedding invitations where it's considered impolite). You can list the store name, a short URL, or a QR code. Parents appreciate making it easy for guests to find the registry.

What's appropriate wording for a co-ed baby shower?

For a co-ed or couples shower, avoid gendered language. Instead of "ladies" or "girlfriends," use "friends and family" or "loved ones." Keep the tone warm and inclusive. You can note it's a couples shower in the invitation to set expectations for guests who might bring a partner.

Can I use this generator wording on digital invitations?

Yes — all wording generated here works for both digital invitations (Evite, Canva, Paperless Post) and printed cards. For digital invites, you can usually paste the wording directly into the invitation builder. For printed cards, you may need to adjust line breaks to fit your design.
