Birth Date

Before the due date has been announced, include a game in the invitation asking the invited guests to give a guess on the expected due date when they RSVP. The guest with the closest guess date to the announced due date in their RSVP can be rewarded with a baby shower door prize.
Diaper-vites

Make diaper shaped cut outs to use as invites. Write or type the time, date, location and other details inside the diaper-shaped invitation and decorate the outside edges of the diaper with lace. Use pastel blue lace if the mother is expecting a boy, and pink for mothers expecting girls.
Baby Gift

Make the invitations a gift to the baby and expectant mother. Hand-deliver invitations wrapped up in diapers or rolled and stuffed into bottles. Have the invited guests return the bottles or diapers to the shower as part of a shower game.
Photos

Decorate the cover of the invitation with copies of the baby's ultrasound photos or photos of the baby's parents as babies. Try gathering baby photos of all guests to place on the front of the invitation; the guest who identifies the most of the other guests wins a door prize.
