My little world of announcements
Certain information should be conveyed by the baby shower invitations, no matter what the format. Include the names of the expectant mother and host or hosts, shower location, date and time, directions, contact information for responses and questions, baby registry, shower theme and dress. Also allow yourself enough time to prepare and send out the baby shower invitations well ahead of the date. You should send them out around two months in advance of the shower and allow guests two weeks to respond. This gives you enough time to invite others who may be on a back up guest list and provide the caterer with a head count or yourself with enough lead time to purchase and prepare an adequate amount of food and party favors.
