Baby Shower Invitations The Modern Way

In today's internet age, there should never be a need to write out multiple invitations to a baby shower by hand, unless, of course, you want to. By carrying out a search on the internet, you will quickly discover there are numerous ways that you can avoid using those little invitations where you need to fill in the blank spaces provided for each piece of information. Instead, baby shower invitations can be a simple matter of just printing off the required number of copies. So much easier!
One option you may decide to employ is to make your own invitations at home. All you need to buy is some sheets of colored card. You can then make your desired cute or simple layout according to your taste. Once you have checked to make sure that all of the included information is correct, you can do a trial print to make sure that your design looks as good as you designed it to be. Just make sure that you fold it correctly, according to the way you want it presented, and that you have envelopes that your invitations will fit into.
Another option, if you want to make your own baby shower invitations, is to cut your colored card into postcard size pieces, then print the details on one side and use pre-printed address labels on the other side. This option makes life easier for you as your baby shower invites will not require any fancy folding or envelopes, and the cost of mailing them will also be a lot less.
A further option open to you is to try pre-formatted versions employing card-making or invitation-making software. If you think that your computer designing skills are not up to the job, this could be the answer you are looking for. Also available are pre-sized invitations, for a baby shower or blank ones, which are ready-made to conform to a pre-determined size.
However, If You Just Can't Manage It...
There are many websites available on the internet where all you need to do is input all the details concerning your baby shower into a pre-formatted invitation template, tell them how many copies you need, et voilĂ  - the requested number of baby shower invitations and envelopes will arrive on your doorstep in good time. This is an excellent way to obtain state-of-the-art baby shower invitations. More and more people are turning to these services as they become easier to make and cheaper to buy.
You will find that these template invitations that you order via the internet are dearer than the packages of blank invitations, but the benefits of the online invitation, both for baby showers, and for many other types, are numerous. Gone is the need to write out the invitations. Now you can get a professionally printed invitation at a very affordable price. For just a small extra fee you can add custom return-address labels that match the invitations. Most importantly, the only job that is left for you to do is address them!
Whichever method you choose, don't forget to save a baby shower invitation to give to the guest of honor!

Alternative Clothing For Babies

Alternative Clothing For BabiesWhile the concept of "baby tees" has taken on a whole new meaning in the new millennium, some companies have made a real dedication to the original intent of the phrase. Of course there is always the basic "I Love My Mommy" and "Someone in Tallahassee Loves Me" t-shirts, but in keeping with the times, some companies have designed some shirts that really let baby and parent's personality shine through.

Take, for example, Wry Baby, a company that specializes in humorous baby t-shirts. Some of my favorites include "I'M NOT A BOY," "NEW," "SCENTED," and a special twin set that reads, "STOP COPYING ME." There are also onesies that come complete with baby care directions for everything from feeding to carrying.

For the breast feeding baby, there are shirts made in the style of the "I Love New York" shirts that read, 'I Love Big Boobies." A shirt that reads "Blankie, Boopie, or Bottle, Nobody Rides for Free" and features a picture of a tricycle is a nice take-off on a popular bumper sticker that's a little bit more PG rated than it's predecessor.At Baby Wit, online shoppers can find a wide range of baby and toddler t-shirts. Whether your baby wants to make a political statement, hang out with the cool kids, or just have a cute monkey on his or her shirt, there is something for them here.

Here you can find some more controversial t-shirt sayings, like "He Thinks He's My Daddy" or "My Mommy Drinks Because I Cry." There are also some amusing, but more tame shirts for the family set. Shirts like, "Come Closer So I Can Spit on You" and "Been Inside for Nine Months" (in prison suit font) make this site a well-rounded source of baby novelty bliss.For the most creative parents, there are sites that feature personalized t-shirts for babies. It is also pretty easy to pick up the paint and stencils necessary to create a super-personal look for your newborn fashion plate. So if you think you can come up with something better than "Look, Maybe Someday I'll Be Changing Your Diapers" than get thee to a craft store.

If you're politically minded, mypunkbaby.com, a company based out of Massachusetts, donates five percent of all proceeds to a different charity each month. All shoppers are given a ballot at the end of their checkout to decide which of the highlighted charities will receive the five percent donation for the month. This way, your money is not only helping a good cause, it's helping a good cause that you get a say in deciding.You can, of course, go with the method of using your baby's clothing as a way to instill the values that you hold nearest and dearest to you, like moral fiber, ethics, and rock and roll.

Recently, at a baby shower for a friend who had recently graduated from college, the new mother got a baby t-shirt that had the Guns'n'Roses logo with the words, "Sweet Child O' Mine" printed across it. It's good to know that the next generation will be a good, hearty stock.
