The text message is for the group chat. The invitation is for the baby book.
"Most of what we get in the mail today is stress—bills, flyers, and solicitations. A baby shower invitation is the exception. It is a square of pure joy in a stack of envelopes.
Whether it’s a 'Baby Sprinkle' for a second child or a massive Co-Ed bash for the first, the invitation anchors the event. It sets the theme, tells the guests what to wear, and eventually, it ends up pasted into the first page of the scrapbook. We print on premium, heavyweight cardstock because we know this isn't just a notification; it's a memento."

Etiquette Guide: The Invitation Timeline
Babies run on their own schedule, but the party needs a plan. Here is when to mail them out:
| The Event | When to Mail | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional Shower | 6-8 Weeks Before Due Date | The Sweet Spot. Mom still has energy, but the belly is popping for photos. |
| Sip & See | 2-8 Weeks After Birth | The Intro. A casual open house to meet the baby. Send invites once the baby is born. |
| The "Sprinkle" | 4-6 Weeks Before Due Date | Low Key. For 2nd or 3rd babies. Less formal, less notice needed. |
Pro Tip: The Registry Question
To print or not to print?
Old school etiquette says putting registry info on the invite is a "no-no," but modern guests need to know where to shop.
The Compromise: Include a small, separate insert card with the registry URL, or add a simple line at the very bottom in a smaller font: "Registered at Target & Amazon." It keeps the main design clean while giving guests the info they need.
