How to Make Homemade Crafty Baby Shower Invitations
A baby shower takes place to celebrate the anticipated arrival of a baby who will soon be born. Baby shower invitations are usually sent out for potential guests to RSVP to the event. While you can purchase baby shower invitations, making your own crafty invites can be a lot of fun and also offers a personal touch.
- Print out a large picture of a bottle, diaper, pacifier or baby stroller.
- Use a pencil to trace the picture on a thick piece of construction paper.
- Cut out the picture perfectly. If you do this right, the construction paper should be shaped as the picture you chose.
- Open up Microsoft Word or a similar program on your computer.
- Choose a font style, shape and color for the introduction. The font size of the introduction should be large.
- Type a catchy phrase or something along the lines of, "It's A Boy" or "It's A Girl".
- Make two spaces with your space bar.
- Adjust the font to a smaller size. You may also want to change the style or color of the font.
- Type in all of the important details for the baby shower. These details include the date, time and location of the baby shower.
- Print out the information that you have just typed on card-stock paper.
- Cut around the words using a pair of design scissors. Design scissors can create styles such as flowers or waves around the edges of the paper.
- Rub a glue stick on the opposite side of the card-stock paper and paste it onto your construction paper cutout.
- Add baby shower themed embellishments and stickers to your cutout. You can purchase these embellishments at craft stores.
- Continue this process for each baby shower invitation that you need to make.
