Pink is the perfect color for baby girl shower invitations
The color pink has long been associated with kindness, love, and femininity, making it the most popular color for baby girl shower invitations. Vibrant shades of pink cardstock pair well with orange and yellow for a cheerful, happy vibe, or choose pastel pink cardstock paired with colors like gray, white, or lavender for a more muted look.
How to Use Pink Cardstock for Baby Shower Invitations
While there are numerous pink baby shower invitations available to buy, we love the extra care and love that goes into handmade baby shower invitations.
Below are some creative and chic ideas for baby shower invitations that are sure to wow your recipients and be remembered for years to come.
1. Baby shower invitations with unique cuts
Add an unexpected detail to your baby shower invitations by ditching the boring square and rectangular cuts. Instead, cut your invites in fun shapes like baby onesies, bottles, bibs, or diapers.
2. Printed baby shower invitations
Print on solid or patterned cardstock for easy invites you can make right at home. You can design these yourself, use free templates, or hire a designer to make your dream invite a reality.
3. Create hand painted baby shower invitations
One way to make your baby shower invitations completely unique and memorable is to hand paint them. You can do these yourself or involve friends and relatives for handmade invites that are sure to be loved by all.
4. Layered monochromatic pink baby shower invites
When working with pink cardstock paper, you don’t have to stick to one shade or color all the way through. Layer white or a lighter shade over a patterned piece for a classy, chic look.
5. Add calligraphy or hand lettering to baby shower invitations
When adding calligraphy or hand lettering to your baby shower invitations, you can let the lettering be the star of the show and keep the invitation minimal.
6. Plants
Plant motifs are becoming more and more popular in baby shower invites. Let people know about your budding new life with cutesy floral and botanical prints. This is a great opportunity to pull out rubber stamps or die cuts and adapt them to baby themed creations.
7. Use mother and baby animal motifs
How to make a scrapbook worthy card that makes you go “aww” everytime you see it? Pair your pink cardstock with parent and child animal motifs.
8. Try the trendy boho rainbow look for baby shower invitations
Boho rainbows are everywhere and a pretty pink boho rainbow is the perfect theme for a baby shower invitation. Freehand cut, or use dies along with pink cardstock paper in various shades to create your rainbow.
9. Go with a modern handmade baby shower invitation
Cute baby shower invites not your style? Go for modern, no-nonsense invitations with bold colors and block patterns. Look to elegant wedding invitations for inspiration when creating your modern handmade baby shower invitations.
10. Opt for minimalistic baby shower invitations
Minimalistic baby shower invites are still as chic as ever. Pair some pretty pinks with trendy, minimalistic designs for classy baby shower invites.
