Invitations for every baby celebration
The editor opens with a baby shower template, and the same tools work for related events:
- Baby shower: the classic party for a first baby.
- Baby sprinkle: a smaller, lighter celebration for a second or third baby.
- Gender reveal: big question marks, two-color schemes and a clear reveal time.
- Couples or co-ed shower: a more neutral design for both parents and their friends.
- Virtual shower: add a video call link and the time zone.
- Christening, baptism or naming day: a calmer layout with a photo of the baby.
Recolor the baby-themed stickers, balloons, hearts and stars to match your theme. Soft dots, stars or hearts patterns make good backgrounds, and a script font suits the parent's or baby's name.

Theme and color ideas
A theme makes the invitation, the decorations and the cake feel like one event. Popular choices that are easy to design:
- Oh baby! Balloons and a bold script headline; works in any color.
- Twinkle, twinkle, little star: navy or soft gray with gold-toned stars and a stars pattern.
- Mommy to bee: honey yellow and black, with a short, punny line.
- Little cutie: orange and green, for spring and summer showers.
- Woodland or greenery: sage, cream and leaves for a calm, gender-neutral look.
- Pink and blue: the classic gender reveal palette, often split down the middle.
Save the theme colors in the brand kit, then apply them to the invitation, a diaper raffle insert card, a welcome sign and the thank-you cards with one click. Two fonts are plenty: a playful or script font for the headline and a simple sans-serif for the details.
Sizes and timing
| Size | Use |
|---|---|
| 5 × 7 in | The standard invitation size; fits an A7 envelope |
| 4 × 6 in | Smaller card, or an insert such as a diaper raffle ticket |
| 148 × 148 mm square | Modern square card |
| 1080 × 1920 px | Text, WhatsApp or story |
| 1080 × 1350 px | Instagram or Facebook post |
A common US guideline is to hold the shower in the last weeks before the due date and to send invitations four to six weeks ahead, with an RSVP date one to two weeks before the event. Switch sizes freely: the layout adapts automatically, so the invitation can become a matching insert card or an 18 × 24 in welcome sign.
Printing, sending and privacy
For printing, download the PDF: it is 300 dpi with a 3 mm (about 1/8 in) bleed and crop marks, and the editor shows the trim line and safe zone. Print on card stock at home and trim, or send the file to a print shop. For guests who live far away, download a JPG and text or email it.
Use the same design for thank-you cards after the shower: change the text and keep the colors. Ultrasound photos and family details never leave your device; the whole design is made in your browser. For a later birthday, try the birthday invitation maker, or browse all designs in the invitation maker.
