Having a baby is a special occasion that needs to be marked by an extra special gathering – a baby shower. After putting your body through almost 10 months of growing a life, you deserve to be celebrated and pampered before the baby comes. That’s why baby showers have become so popular in recent years, and why it’s essential the mother-to-be gets a chance to have one.
Whether the gathering is arranged by the star of the show, or an appointed best friend, it doesn’t matter, what does matter is getting all the right people to attend. Creating the perfect e-vite for the occasion is a great place to start. Combining style and class, it is possible to create a gorgeous baby shower invitation online at PosterMyWall.

Once you’ve planned the date, time, and venue of the baby shower, it’s time to start inviting people. If you’re arranging this on behalf of your friend, make sure no one is missed off the guest list. Contact siblings, parents, and work friends to help you get a better idea of who to invite – you don’t want to miss anyone off!
If you’re planning a baby shower for yourself it might still be a good idea to confer with your bestie. Baby brain is real, and you don’t want to forget to invite someone important like your sister-in-law, or your boss!
Now that you’ve got all the information to hand, it’s time to start designing!
Keep it simple
You don’t want to include too much information on the invitation. Too much text can mean people miss the important parts, like when and where to meet. Make the main focus what the invitation is for, for example “Emily’s baby shower” in a large, bold font should work well. The next biggest piece of text should be when and where – that’s key information that needs to be made obvious. The final point is who the recipient needs to RSVP to, and how they should contact that person. I prefer to leave a number over an email address, especially as most people coming to the shower will probably have your number already!
For anyone who feels like creativity isn’t their forte there are lots of styles of easily editable baby shower invite templates out there to use.
How to make baby shower invites using PosterMyWall software
I like this software because it’s easy to use. You can make something beautiful without being particularly creative or tech savvy. A template takes away all the stress of designing, leaving you to just quickly personalize before sending.
Firstly, pick a template that appeals, once you’ve opened it, editing is quite self-explanatory. The software allows you to do things like uploading a photo to personalize the end result. If you don’t want to add a photo, using the ‘elements’ button on the left hand side, you can add clip art or shapes and stickers instead. You can even add a QR code if you’re feeling fancy!
Once you’ve got the images sorted, you can add and edit text. When you use a template, it already has basic text in a particular font and colour on the image. This can be altered and you can even add or delete text boxes to create the perfect finished look.
When you’re happy with your design, there’s a function to download it for free to be used on social media. You can actually publish directly to social platforms (including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) directly from the user interface, which streamlines the whole process. The free download does have a watermark if you choose a video option, but a basic image does not. Either way, I think it’s a pretty neat set up and consider the interface to be user-friendly. Don’t just listen to me though, give it a go yourself!
