How to Word a Baby Shower Invitation for an Unmarried Couple
- 1). Provide the time and date of the baby shower on the invitation. Baby shower invitations may be purchased in a "fill in the blank" format allowing the sender to customize the information. Or, you can custom order baby shower invitations by providing the information to a company that will print the invitations for you.
- 2). Provide the location of the baby shower on the baby shower invitation. Providing a printed map is a pleasant convenience for guests.
- 3). Write the invitation. Sample text: "You are invited to a baby shower for proud parents Donald Wilkes and Sarah Stanley. Come welcome baby Elizabeth."
- 4). List the baby registries in smaller print or on the back of a single-faced card invitation. For example: "Baby Elizabeth is registered at: Target, Macy's and Babies R Us. Or: David and Sarah are registered at: x, y and z." How you list the parents will depend on their status: dating/cohabitating couple, same-sex, or divorced couple. When addressing an invitation for a same-sex couple, list the names alphabetically.
