This idea for your unique baby shower invitations will knock you socks off! This invitation ideas would be for someone who you know likes to knit, or crochet, or something creative like that. Now, before I get started rambling on about this awesome baby shower invitation, let me just say that coming up with these unique baby shower invitations ideas is not easy. So, if you have any creative baby shower invitation ideas of your own, please feel free to share either in a comment, or an email. On to the good stuff and this wonderfully unique baby shower invitation idea.

Well, what you will want to do is create patches for a quilt. Then you include a unique quilt patch in each baby shower invitation you send out. What this will do is not only make you baby shower invitation totally unique, but it will make each lady feel like she is needed for the baby shower, and you should get a whole lot more women there, to the baby shower! What you will want to do is notate which lady got which patch, and make sure you keep a list of which patch was in which unique baby shower invitation. You will want to do this so you can have back up patches, incase one of your friends isnt able to make it to the baby shower. That way you can still assemble the quilt at the baby shower, even if you cant get all the unique baby shower invitations together!

So, once the women start showing up, you can start quilting at the baby shower. Now, if you only want to spend a little time doing this at the baby shower, then that is fine. The whole idea is to make the ladies feel like they are needed and want to be there with their unique baby shower invitations that you sent them. Including quilt patches in you baby shower invitations will not only be creative, but you can use the quilt as the baby's first blanket! Then all the ladies will definitely want to be there, with their unqiue baby shower invitations in hand and quilt patches in the other.

Now, what kind of quilt patches should you get? Well, it all depends if you know what the gender of the baby is. If the expecting mother doesnt know, then you could always go with a neutral color, like a light blue. You can also get patches of things like puppies, as both baby boys and baby girls both love puppies. You will also want to make their actual baby shower invitations to look somewhat similar to their patch, that way they can always remember this unique baby shower idea! And trust me, most of the women you'll invite have probably never done anything like this before. When they get those unique baby shower invitations, I promise you will peak their curiosity.

The next big question for this unique baby shower idea, do you put the quilt together and make a small one, or just get it started and expand on it later? Whatever you decide, make sure to mention it in the baby shower invitations, just as a curtious thing, incase you're gonna keep the ladies out all night. Wouldnt that be a wild baby shower invitation? I can read it now "Come early, stay late!". Although, Im not too sure how thrilled their husbands would be! But hey, a baby shower is a good time for women to get together and have a good old time. Just dont get too crazy with these unique baby shower invitations.

Don't forget to mention the other usual things in a baby shower invitation, like where it will be and if they need to bring anything. It may be a unique baby shower invitation, but you cant forget the basics either! I think that about rounds it up for this go at unique baby shower invitations. But dont worry, as there are plenty more unique baby shower invitations where that came from!

Unique Baby Shower Invitations for Christmas

If you are one of the lucky few who get to organize a baby shower around Christmas, then have we got a few unique baby shower invitaion ideas for you! Christmas time can be pretty tricky to throw a baby shower, but with the right baby shower invitation, there wont be anyone on the list that wont want to be there! So buckle up and get ready for some great ideas for unique baby shower invitations!

Well, first off, you can never go wrong with getting little christmas tree cards. Its what you're going to do with them that will make them unqiue baby shower invitations. First, you'll want to get some glitter and red and yellow construction paper. You'll also need some good old school glue too. Then what you do is spread a film of glue and then sprinkle on the glitter. You're gonna have to give it a minute or two to dry. While that is drying, you can cut out little ball shaped ornaments from the construction paper. Unique baby shower invitations should not only be creative, but should also be fun to make. Hopefully with this invitation idea, you can get your kids involved too, as kids love anything with glitter and glue!

Another good idea to make a unique baby shower invitation around the holidays is to go with just a square card, and then make it look like a present. You will need ribbon, and probably construction paper too unless you can find the right color of card for your baby shower invitation. Then all you would do is cut the ribbon to go across the middle, both up and down, and sideways too! Then you would tie a little bow and put it on the top of your unique baby shower invitation. You would only need the construction paper if you have plain old white cards, and then you would just want to cut out the paper the same size as the card. Then you could put some clever wording in your baby shower invitation, like "the best present you could receive this time of year!", or something along those lines, even though she technically isnt having the baby on christmas. Im sure the mother to be would love a unique baby shower invitation like this to welcome in her unborn child!

You could always go the character route as well, such as using santa claus or rupolph the red nose reindeer on your baby shower invitation. This would be pretty generic though and I dont know if you could call that a unique baby shower invitation. But, if you're short on time, then you know that you dont have to spend a whole lot of time being creative. And using a classic christmas icon on the baby shower invitations would still be pretty cute. Just try to throw a little creativity in there and try to make the bab shower invitations as unique as possible. Trust me, the mother to be wants everything about her baby special and unique!

That about wraps it up for this edition of ideas for unique baby shower invitations. I think I got a few more creative ideas that you could use around this holiday season for your invitations, but that will have to wait for another day. Thanks for stopping in and stay tuned for more christmasy ideas for your very own unique baby shower invitations!

Unique Baby Shower Invitations For Boys

If your mother to be already knows that she is having a boy, then these unique baby shower invitations ideas are for you! Having a baby boy is exciting, and you want to bring out that excitment in your baby shower invitations, so then all the ladies will be excited for the baby shower itself! And if this is going to be the first boy then you really gotta make the baby shower special, and there is no better place to start then with a unique baby shower invitation.

For baby boys, you'll obivously have your theme for the baby shower based around boyish colors, and maybe even boyish things. And you really need your baby shower invitation to match, so I would say maybe go with blue colors, and try to avoid pinks and purples. Blue is my favorite color, and I know that my little boys baby shower invitations were blue, and there were pretty cool. His baby shower invitations were put together with white and blue checkerboard paper, with criss-cross cut ribbons and a really cool font for the baby shower invitation wording. It was a somewhat plain, but very unique baby shower invitations, and is something that we definitely kept with his other baby stuff. If you dont want to go with a simple, boy colored baby shower invitation, you could always go with something a little more out there.

If you are willing to drop a little money on these unique baby shower invitations, then you could buy little model sailboats, and put the baby shower invitation wording on the sails themselves. It shouldnt set you back too much, and probably wouldnt have too much trouble finding somebody online that could make baby shower invitations like that. But little boys love sailboats, and when he gets older, Im sure he would love to see that his baby shower invitations were unique and pretty sweet. I could tell you that probably not many people would foget those baby shower invitations!

Of course you can always go with the latest cartoon character to throw on your baby shower invitations. I think right now something like pokemon or sonic the hedgehog might be in. I'm really just guessing as I dont have any kids that age yet, but you get the idea. I;m sure you could probably find places online that you could print off pictures of whatever character you like and it would probably make for a somewhat unique baby shower invitation. You would of course need to come up with some clever wording for the invitations, but that shouldnt be too hard either, as most cartoon characters have some sort of phrase they say, and you could just spin that to work with a baby shower invitation. Yes, you might actually have to get creative to make these baby shower invitations unique.

I know that spongebob is pretty popular amongst kids right now and would make for a perfect theme for baby shower invitations. For instance, you could buy square cards and then make them yellow, so the cards would actually be a sponge. And then when they open the baby shower invitations, you would have spongebob say something clever. If you watch spongebob for about 20 minutes I'm sure you could pick up on something witty or clever that he says. And it actually is a pretty funny show to watch. You dont have to go with a spongebob baby shower invitation, but I bet there arent too many people who do, so if a unique baby shower invitation is what you were going for, then you would probably be spot on.

Another good idea for a unique baby shower invitation, and if you dont mind shelling out some money for them, is buying baby bottles and then rolling up the invitation and sticking them in the baby bottles. Once again you'll want to come up with some clever wording to go along with this, but I bet not too many people get baby bottles inviting them to a baby shower. And it definitely is appropriate! But I guess you could really do this baby shower invitation idea whether its a boy or a girl, but it is definitely something you'll want to keep in mind.

Well, I think that about wraps it up for this round of unique baby shower invitations. There will be plenty more to come, and hopefully with what I've shared so far it will at least give you a head in the right direction. But stay tuned for more unique baby shower invitations!

Words for Unique Baby Shower Invitations

Well, I think we all the know the reason why you are here looking for ideas on baby shower invitations. The question at hand now is, where should we begin in creating those unique baby shower invitations? At least with baby shower invitations, you can keep things simple, but just remember to keep things creative too! Remember, we're going for unique!

The thing we will be covering today will be the wording of the baby shower invitations. The first thing you'll want to think about is the expecting mother. Depending on what the mother to be is like, you'll have a pretty good idea of what type of theme to go with, which will determine what kind of words to put in your unique baby shower invitations. If she is a more serious person, then you wont want to make too many jokes or references in the baby shower invitations. I think you get the gist of it. We want unique, but you must cater to the specific mother.

The gender of the baby will also play a big part of how the baby shower invitation turns out. Do they think its gonna be a boy? Boys colors are typically blue, but why not go with a red. Or even make it a really cool invitation and put motorcycles on it. Talk about having a unique baby shower invitation! The wording on that type of baby shower invitation should be fairly easy.

Girls are a different story when it comes to baby shower invitations. Although, you really cant go wrong if you went with a princess theme, and using cute princess type wording in your unique baby shower invitations. The other thing to mention would be if there are other kids. Adding another family member can be tough for some kids. Use this baby shower invitation opportunity to help the other kids feel important too. If you really want the baby shower invitation to be unique, then you'll have to think outside the box.

While most other people would exclude him, to make this baby shower invitation unique, include the father, or at least think about him. If its gonna be a boy, the dad to be will probably remember a unique baby shower invitation. I know this because I can still remember my little boys baby shower invitation. It wasnt super unique, but still creative and unique enough to the point where I remembered it. If you can get the dad to remember the baby shower invitation, then you know you did a good job at making the invitation unique!

Hopefully you got a little poet inside of you, as this will make writing for the baby shower invitation a lot easier. I like writing for baby shower invitations because of the simplicity of them, and thats a good thing to keep in mind, dont make the baby shower invitations complicated! Like I said before, if you can use your poetry skills to create a neat little poem, that would go a really long way for your unique baby shower invitation.

Dont give up hope yet if you are still lacking those perfect words for your unique baby shower invitation, as help is only another baby shower invitation away! Im not saying to copy another baby shower invitation, as that would take the uniqueness away, but it might help spark an idea of your own! Give it a try and see what happens. Unique baby shower invitations are not easy to come by!

Your unique baby shower invitation is obviously important to you which should give you enough motivation to finish strong! As you very well know, its not easy. But with a little heart and some time, I have no doubt you will find the words to make your baby shower invitation unique. Your baby shower invitation will be well worth all the effort you put into it. Heart and effort will go a long way in making you unique baby shower invitations ones to remember!
