Baby boy shower invitations can be as simple or as elaborate as the hostess chooses.

While lace and ruffles are probably to be eliminated from consideration,?there are still plenty of ways to be creative with your shower invitations.

Remember that your baby boy shower invitation should include all the appropriate information – time, date and location of the event. But these invitations are also an opportunity to share some other information with the attendees.

You might include the due date, names being considered or a poem that reflects the wonder of the coming event.

But how do you do all that when the typical baby boy shower invitation only has space for a few pieces of information? The answer is to create your own shower invitations right on your home computer.

There are dozens of programs available for making all kinds of greeting cards on your computer, or you can simply use an existing program to make wonderful and unique baby boy shower invitations. All you really need from a program is the ability to adjust text and font size. And you don’t need to be a computer genius in order to manipulate the programs to allow the creation of great invitations.

You should probably start with card stock, though any heavy paper will work for your invitations. Card stock is inexpensive and comes in a variety of colors and designs. With a greeting card program, you can create a front and back of a card and your printer will automatically print the appropriate places.

If you work on your own design using a typical word processing program, you may have to run the pages through the printer two times in order to get both front and back printed.

With the card programs (and some word processing programs), you can import photos to make the baby boy invitation even more personalised.

You can make your own baby shower cards. There are of course many baby shower invitations readily available online of in stores.
