How to Make Baby Shower Teddy Bear Invitations
Teddy bears are forever having their own picnics, but they can also be a cuddly and fun feature at a baby shower. Use one of the country’s earlier presidents as features on your next baby shower invitation by designing custom cards in Windows Paint. Found in the "Accessories" folder of all Windows operating systems, Paint offers a way to “bear” the effort of making your own cards quickly and creatively.

Type the baby shower information, such as the parent(s)-to-be, location and date of the event, where the parents are registered, theme, what will be served and how to respond. If you’re doing a teddy bear theme, you may want to include whether to bring a bear to donate or a personal favorite of the invitee’s to show off.

Choose another color from the “Colors” section, different from the invitation shade. Click the paint bucket icon on the ribbon and click anywhere on the background of the invitation to fill it with color. You may want to do a pink background with black text, light blue background with dark blue text or a yellow background with green text for parents who don’t know the sex of their babies. You can also choose teddy bear-brown as a background. Skip this step if you’ll be printing the invitations on colored or printed card stock.
