Planning a baby shower can be really fun if you have lots of money, plenty of time and don’t have your own kids to look after. But for the rest of us it can also be a lot of work and sometimes pressure to make it look perfect and really please the mama to be. I’d like to help make it as simple as possible from sending the baby shower invite , to finding your perfect venue, the adorable cookies, decorations and even fun baby shower games!

Baby Shower Invitations

I am loving Basic Invite and there new adorable designs for invitations! Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows almost unlimited color options with instant previews online! Once you select a design, you can change the color of each element on the card. With over 180 colors to choose from, the invite is sure to be exactly how you want it. This will set the tone for your entire party before the guests even arrive.

Plus the address capturing feature is a game changer! It allows you to share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media to request the friends and family’s addresses of the mama to be. The addresses are stored in your online account and can be selected during the design process. Bonus, they won’t charge you to print the addresses! Hello huge time saver 🙂

Right now Basic Invite is offering 15% off with coupon code: 15FF51
