Consult with the baby's parents as to whether they want a formal or more casual affair. Formal invitations should carry more straightforward information, while a casual shower can use cuter, more playful language.

Brainstorm with the words you have written down, such as connecting the words "Pooh bear" to "hibernate," "den," and "jolly." Use these words as ideas for developing the invitation. For example: "Pooh's good friend (baby's name) is hibernating. Won't you help us throw him a party," or, "The only thing sweeter than Pooh's honey pot is the little cub (parent's names) are expecting."

Consider if you want to create a rhyming invitation. Rhymes that suit formal showers may read, "We've chosen a name, we know the date, and just like Pooh, we don't want you to be late...for (parents' names) baby shower." A more casual party may have a rhyme like, "Giggles and tickles and Pooh's hunny aren't as sweet as what's in (mother's name) tummy."

Choose a font carefully to reflect the Pooh theme, using straight or script lettering for formal parties and playful curving or large lettering for relaxed showers. Write out or print the number of invitations you need with the wording your have chosen.
