So you have volunteered to hold a baby shower for your girlfriend, co-worker or relative and you are determined to do a great job. One of the first things you will need to do is send out invitations to the guests. This is probably one of the most important parts of the whole process because you will want them to be impressed with the way your invitations look.
This is not somewhere you will want to cut corners, but if you don't have an unlimited budget like Paris Hilton, don't worry. You can still design a beautiful invitation without breaking the bank...but be prepared to spend some time!
One way to do this is to create a card template using Microsoft Word or whatever word-processing software you have on your computer. The easiest way to do this is probably to search for something like "free Microsoft Word card templates" or "free Microsoft Word invitation templates" on the Internet. You should find lots of choices, and Microsoft itself offers free templates.
The next step is to find a nice picture to put on the front of the invitation card. You can use the free clip art that is built into Microsoft Word itself. Go to the Insert menu, choose Picture and then Clip Art. You can also find tons of sites on the Internet that offer some good quality images for free.
Once you've found some pictures that you're happy with, you just insert them into the card template, and then choose a beautiful font from your word processing software, like the "Brush Script" font, and voila, you have a lovely baby shower invitation that will impress your guests!
You can then either print the cards yourself on proper card stock using a color printer, or, if you want better quality, you can get them printed at a print shop relatively inexpensively.
