You can go around this problem by either making customized baby shower invitations or logging into the web and accessing Tickled Pink Designs for ideas on baby shower invitations.
Start off by selecting a theme that will match with the celebrations. If you intend your theme to reflect on “rubber duckiest”, buy invitations stock papers that are yellow. Trim the invitations into a duck shape. In addition, it is a way by which you can make the event more original and save on money.
Alternatively, you can purchase stock papers that are already cut into shapes that you want. The ink used should be in regard to the expected gender, i.e. blue for baby boy and pink for baby girl. Where you are not sure of the sex of the baby use a different color set. The text should be centered on the page to allow for trimming of the paper. To give the paper a whiter look, you can double layer the printing paper. The specifics of the baby shower should be clearly written on each section of the invitation and make sure to add craft materials such as pearls or lace.
