We\u2019d venture to say most people are in the same boat. Unless you\u2019ve ever sent out a baby shower invitation, there would be no reason to ponder whether there\u2019s a guest of honor or what a guest of honor at a baby shower even means. You\u2019d have no reason to consider whether baby shower invitation wording should include the gender of the baby or that there are multiple types of baby showers. If you\u2019re here, reading this delightfully helpful post (we promise: lots of help coming up), there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve found yourself either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/how-to-throw-baby-shower\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hosting a baby shower<\/a> or getting ready to be the guest of honor yourself. Either way, you\u2019re in the right place to get all the ideas you could ever want about baby shower invitation wording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/baby-shower-picture-id909494250.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/baby-shower-picture-id909494250.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/baby-shower-picture-id909494250-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/baby-shower-picture-id909494250-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-blurb\">\n    <p>Send custom baby shower invitations in minutes.

It\u2019s then that you realize you\u2019re unsure. Not to worry. Everything you need is here for your taking. And as always with our handy toolkits: take what you like, leave what you don\u2019t.

If the baby shower is more traditional where only women are invited then the guest of honor will be the mom-to-be. However, if it&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/7-great-tips-to-throwing-a-co-ed-baby-shower\">coed baby shower<\/a> then it\u2019s more likely that both parents will be in attendance and therefore both parents will carry the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guidance to RSVP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your baby shower invitation wording should include directions to RSVP. You\u2019ll need to include an email, a website, a special URL, or a phone number where the guests should go to respond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make it easier on whoever is keeping track of the invite list, you may choose to ask your guests only to RSVP if they\u2019re not able to make it \u2013\u2013 leaving an assumption of attendance. The baby shower invitation wording for this option is something along the lines of \u201cRSVP regrets only.\u201d If you\u2019re worried that your guests would forget about the event if not for a positive RSVP, then you can still ask for a proper RSVP.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Registry information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason for a baby shower is, of course, to help equip the parents with all the baby gear they\u2019ll need in the first years of their child\u2019s life. Which brings us to the baby registry. Just add the name of the store\/website where they are registered so guests know where to find it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Any additional baby shower requests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your baby shower has any quirks about it that the guests should expect, this will be the place to include the information. Your baby shower invitation wording should include any special asks the mom might have like bringing a book instead of a baby shower card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LEVERETPAPERIE188.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LEVERETPAPERIE188.png 600w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LEVERETPAPERIE188-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LEVERETPAPERIE188-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"button-cta vertical\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/cards\/baby-kids\/baby-shower-invitations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Show me the invites!!<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the different types of baby showers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Who knew there was more than one type of baby shower?! Well, we did of course. If you\u2019re getting ready to create your baby shower invitation wording and aren\u2019t sure what kind of baby shower you\u2019re having or hosting, the following is your mini-guide.

The guests will typically get a time frame in which to stop by for a celebratory drink and take in the beauty of the newborn.

Baby showers are kind of big deals and big deals call for real, hold-in-your-hand invites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How early should you send baby shower invites?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Give your guests 2-3 weeks notice prior to the baby shower by mailing your baby shower invitations 3-4 weeks in advance. Snail mail is awesome, but keep in mind that it does take 3-7 days to arrive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you mail your baby shower invites with less notice, you\u2019re risking the chance of your guests not having a chance to make the proper arrangements (child care, work or travel schedules, and gift purchases).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you send the invites much earlier than that, you\u2019re risking the chance that your guests simply let the event slip their minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-blurb\">\n    <p>Send custom baby shower invitations in minutes.
