Shower Invitation

How do I word a baby shower invitation to include the fact that I don't want anyone bringing their children with them? I don't want it to sound rude. Please help.

I would write in the invitation "You have been cordially invited to an adults only baby shower,please do not bring children due to some adult content" it might be a lie about the adult content but it is the only thing that I could think of so this way it didnt sound rude

My bosses wife is having a baby shower scheduled on Valentines Day. I just got the invitation and I have plans with my Valentine for that day. What is the proper way to decline the invitation? Do I still get her a gift? How should I give her the gift- have it shipped to her house or drop it off with the hostess of the shower? I regret not being able to go because of the work relationship, but besides that I don't really care. Thank you in advance for your response.

Just rsvp as indicated on the invitation that you can't make it. It's pretty silly to schedule a baby shower on Valentine's Day, anyway. You should send a nice card to the mother-to-be or, if you want to, send a gift, but you are in no way required to. If you want to get a gift (and there are a lot of small things that are useful for new parents) I would send it to or drop it off with the hostess so the mother can get it the day of her shower.

Baby Invitations

Im having a baby shower for my cousin. She is doing the nursery in Snoopy. I am making the invitations. I have the blank invitation and a snoopy stamp and I just need help with writing the invitation..

You don't necessarily have to have snoopy incorporated into the writing process. Since you have the snoopy stamp, you could put the stamp on the top middle portion of the invitation cards and in huge letters underneath it write: Oh baby!

So here's something I would write:

(snoopy stamp)

Oh baby!

(cosuins name) is having a baby!
Join us for a shower (or join us for a snoopy shower)
in her honor!

I'm hosting a bridal shower for step daughter. I'm not sure how to word the invitation. Her wedding was in March. Her husband was deployed to Iraq two days after the wedding. Because of his pending deployment we didn't have time for showers or a big wedding. He will be home in January and we would like to have the shower before they truly begin their new life together. Any help with etiqutte would be greatly appreciated.

Etiquette is to make life easier, not harder. While it is more usual for showers to come before a marriage or birth, even High Etiquette recognizes that when there are extraordinary circumstances, such as fighting a war, common sense is better than blind adherance to abstract rules. Instead of worrying about creating an invitation that forces a round peg into a square hole, send informal notes. Just buy a few boxes of inexpensive but attractive note cards and dash off a few handwritten lines to each prospective guest.

Dear Virg & Mary,
Have you heard that David finally returns home from Iraq in January? I'm so happy for Lynn and Dave that I'm planning a party for them, a sort of wedding party, welcome home, and house warming all in one. I'm asking everyone to bring some sort of gift for the couple, since there wasn't time to give a shower before the wedding. Please ring me up at 555.877.1212 and let me know if you'll be coming.
Yours truly, Julia

I know that handwriting 40 or more invitations sounds like a daunting task, but divide it up into smaller chunks, like writing 5 invitations on your lunch break, 5 after work, 5 after supper, and so on and you'll be surprised at how quickly and easily you can do it.

HINTS: When people call, casually mention "Of course they won't be opening gifts during the party, so send something seperately if it's more convenient for you." That way people who have already given a substantial wedding gift will know that there will be no embarrassment attached to giving only a modest second gift. It will also signal to your guests that they may have gifts delivered directly to the couple without the bother of gift wrapping.

My friend is having a wedding in april and i wanted to make some bridal shower invitation cards for her. am currently using windows xp but i don't know how to make the card. any help on how i can make one?

This should be fairly straightforward: Microsoft Word will let you do the layout. Do you know what wording you want to use? Type it in, use the formatting menu to pick fonts and layout; use the insert menu to add graphics, and use the page setup option in the file menu to pick the paper size. Try a sample print on cheap paper, and then run the invitations on your heavier-weight invitation paper.
