If you’re planning a baby shower, you’re going to need a way to get the word out to guests. There are thousands of baby shower invitations out there, and the sheer number of options can be overwhelming (especially when you have so many other things going on!). So we narrowed it down to a handful of our favorite places to find baby shower invites, focusing on online ordering to keep things convenient for you. 

Creating, printing and sending invitations can add up in price. To give a better picture of your options, we included a variety of price points (price per card and price for sends), including a free, DIY option. Digital invitations are convenient and typically come with a bunch of party management features like RSVP tracking lists, so you’ll find those below. And though printed invitations may seem obsolete, they're a traditional option that’ll never go out of style, so we included those too. 

While we focused on traditional invites, both paper and digital, there are a few emerging online platforms that allow you to send invitations to events for free. Apple recently released an app called Apple Invites, which allows you to send invitations to people in your contacts as well as track your guest list. There’s also a new app called Partiful that’s similar but can be used across iOS, Android and online. Both are options worth considering, along with our list.

From big parties to small baby sprinkles and representing some of the trendiest baby shower themes of this year, here are our picks for the best baby shower invitations and where to purchase them.

Printed Invitations

Minted

Modern and stylish, Minted is the home of the most darling invitations. The designs are created by individual artists, making each option special and unique. While they are one of the pricier options (ranging from $1.89 each for basic designs to around $4 for more intricate styles), you have some luxurious upgrades you can choose from, like foil-pressed lettering, double or triple-thick paper and matching stationery. Minted also allows you to really personalize the design and hand-pick every aspect of the final product. You can also request a free sample before committing to a certain design.

Basic Invite

Want to upgrade your shower invites in a simple, easy way? Basic Invites offer options made of luxe-feeling transparent vinyl (prices range from $2.33 for 125 cards and up to about $4 each for 25 cards). The brand also offers a host of standard paper invitations too, if you’d prefer that option. You can choose from one of their see-through themes or upload your own design for a custom look. From there, you can simply choose the colors you want for each element of the invitation—so it's kind of do-it-yourself, but with guidance.

Tiny Prints

At a price similar to Minted, Tiny Prints offers premium upgrades like foil lettering, different trim cuts and paper-type upgrades. The design offerings lean more traditional versus curated and modern, which work really well for traditional baby shower themes. While the customization options are limited, we love Tiny Prints for an easy, all-in-one option that doesn’t require too much extra design work.

Truly Engaging

These adorable prints are almost too cute. With a ton of on-trend designs to choose from, Truly Engaging allows you to add an extra bit of flair to your invitations with fun paper shapes like waves and arches (all at no extra cost). You can also choose to turn your invitation into a magnet instead of a paper invite.

Digital Invitations

Evite

One of the earliest digital invitation platforms, Evite is still reliable for sending virtual invites simply and easily. With almost 200 designs to choose from, there are options for baby sprinkles, traditional showers and even celebrations to welcome twins. You can use the free option and add your party details, just paying to send the invitation to your guests. Or, you can upgrade to a premium invitation (which comes with a backdrop and an animation when the guest opens their invite). You can share your invite through email, text and a link (the link is an extra charge).

Paperless Post

From a traditional baby shower to a classic southern sip-and-see, Paperless Post has a wide range of themes, designs and styles to choose from. Similar to Evite, you can opt for premium features to take your invitation up a notch (including animations, uploading your own photo and adding additional content blocks). You can also choose a free card design and send it to up to 50 people without any extra costs; otherwise, card prices range from 1 coin to 2 coins without premium features (read more about their coin pricing model).

You can send your invitation three different ways—through email, text message or an open link (the link doesn’t cost extra). Paperless Post does a good job of recreating that real-life moment of opening a beautifully designed invitation, except it's virtual, so if you want to evoke that same feeling without the hassle, Paperless Post is a great option.

Green Envelope

With lots of beautiful, elegant designs to choose from, Green Envelope offers elevated styles that are easy to customize and make your own. You can choose from a host of premium features, including one that creates a full-screen animation experience for your guests upon opening the invite. The minimum send is for 20 people, and the invitations can be delivered via text, email, Whatsapp and a shareable link. The actual invitation, if you aren't customizing any of the design elements or using premium features, is free—you'll just pay to send it, which starts at $19 for 20 people.

Do-It-Yourself Options

Canva

Canva allows even the most novice designer to create something beautiful with their easy-to-use drag-and-drop elements, intuitive platform and endless templates. I’ve used Canva for years to create everything from invitations to flyers and I’m always impressed with its ease. Plus, you can choose from eye-catching premium features or premium templates (they vary in price, or you can sign up for a Pro account for unlimited premium templates for $12.99 a month), but there are plenty of free options.

Once your design is complete, you can either print it via Canva (they'll ship them to you) or another platform like Walgreens or Shutterfly, or you can upload it to one of the virtual invitation platforms in this list to send out to friends and family (you can also just send it out to guests digitally).

Etsy

More of a do-it-yourself type of option, this allows you to be in on the design process just enough without feeling overwhelmed. Etsy designers create digital invitations that you can either customize by communicating with the designer or some creators allow you to download and edit on your own. Once you have the design in hand, you can print it on whatever type of paper you want or send it via text or email, it's up to you.
