Create Baby Shower Invitations
Using Our Printable Template
 Here's how to create baby shower invitations with our newest baby shower invitation template. I wanted to show how easy it was to add some DIY touches to our templates to make a really elegant invitation without too much effort. The invitation templates are really easy to use! You can download them instantly. Just highlight the text and change the wording to match your baby shower event details. You can change the font, size, and even color of the font.
I recommend printing onto high quality paper and using the highest quality settings for your printer. For this invitation I used high quality 24 lb. white paper printed at very fine photo quality settings.
To create baby shower invitations like the one shown above you'll need some high quality paper of your choice, some colored or decorative card stock, some ribbon, and a permanent adhesive glue runner. Print your template onto the white paper. Use a sliding paper cutter (or bring them to a local copy or print shop) cut the paper to 5 x 7 inches. The templates include cutting guides to follow to cut them to the right size easily. You will also want to cut your card stock to size. I recommend purchasing a fancy, colored 8 1/2" by 11" card stock. Simply cut it in half andf it is ready to use.
Using your adhesive runner apply strips of glue to the outer edges of the back of the printed invitations. Very carefully attatch the invitations to the cardstock so that the paper is centered between all edges. Cut a long length of ribbon. Fold it in half to find the exact mid point of the ribbon. Hold the ribbon down on a piece of scrap paper and apply a strip of glue to the rbbon at the mid point. This will help hold it in place when tying it to the invitations.
About an inch and a half from the bottom right hand corner place the ribbon onto the card at an angle. Wrap the ribbon around and criss cross it on the back meeting around the opposite front upper left hand corner. Start to tie the ribbon into a loose knot. Find where the knot will lay on the card, lift it, and then apply a small strip of glue to hold it down. This helps in creating a nice looking bow, while holding the ribbon firmly in place for you. Tie a nice neat bow. Snip the ends of the ribbon at an angle to give it a nice finished look.
