Craft ideas, craft solutions: Baby Girl Shower Theme Ideas

Planning a shower for a baby girl? A great way to save some money and still make the baby shower super personal is to make your own baby girl shower invitations! The party starts with the invitations so this is a good way to come up with some unique themes and ideas for throwing a really cute DIY baby shower. While your out picking up supplies to make your invitations make sure and buy plenty of extras to make matching favors and decorations, not to mention, some cute matching Thank You notes to give to the guest of honor.

Where to Start...

The best place to start when making your own baby shower invitations is to choose some paper. A really economic way to create invitations is by using cardstock. By cutting, scoring, and folding cardstock you can create the base of a handmade card. You can even purchase cardstock in different thichkness, colors, and even textures at places like office supply stores and arts and crafts hobby stores. You'll find cardstock in every color under the sun at an arts and crafts supply, as well as textures like embossed and even glitter cardstock.

For a quick and easy option you can purchase blank cards to use as the base for your homemade baby shower invitations. These are cards that are already scored and folded and many times come with the correct size matching envelope. They are completely blank inside and out. Just decorate them, print or stamp the invitation wording to the inside and you are done!
I also like to create matching envelope liners and glue, stamp, or print an image to the outside of the envelope.
