Things You'll Need:

1. 
    

   About two months before you plan to host the baby shower, casually ask the mother to be for an address list of all of her friends and family she would like to have at her baby shower. Ask her to include email addresses and phone numbers as well.

2. 
    

   Find out where the mother to be is registered is well as what the baby's room theme will be. This way when you are shopping for baby shower invitations, they can match her theme. For example, if she is having a baby boy and his room will be a teddy bear theme, then try to find baby shower invitations with teddy bears on them.

   Next write or type out the invitations depending on the kind you choose. If you have over ten you may want type and print them from the computer. Just follow the printing directions in the invitation kit.
