Baby shower wording is important, when it comes to providing useful information about date, location and theme. It also indicates if the event will be casual or more official.
Standard wording forms are available but many people try to run away from the typical in an attempt to make their announcements unique. Unusual wording can be used to achieve that goal.
The Important Information
A baby shower announcement needs to make it clear when the event
is taking place and which venue will host it.
Before any other information is added, the announcement should state the date, time, venue and name of hostess. It should also provide directions in case the location is difficult to discover.
Other important facts include the RSVP info, as well as where the mom-to-be is registered at. In case any special activities or games will be held, the announcement could make a point about it.
The Tone
When it comes to wording, tone is everything. The tone can demonstrate
if the event is casual or official. It can be friendly, distanced,
humorous or emotional.
Use tone to send the right message. Make sure that it expresses your exact emotions and gets guests acquainted with the type of party they are about to attend. The careful selection of words will get all this information across.

Baby Shower Card Wording
A baby shower card can be many things. It can be the invitation
card that gets send out to all guests.
It can also be a clarification card about a raffle or about the types of gifts that will be welcomed. It can also be a thank you card that the mom-to-be sends once the party is over.
The wording should be selected in accordance to the card’s purpose. It should correspond to the tone of the invitation and the baby shower itself. The most important aspect of the card is for it to be personalized. If the card sounds distant and too generic, it will never meet success.
If the invitation contains a verse or a poem, the card should include a similar one, as well. The stylistic correspondence is needed to add some elegance and consistency to the event and all materials related to it.
Wording is a matter of personal choice. It demonstrates how the
hostess plans to hold the baby shower and it lets guests know more
about the party itself. Taking time to come up with the best wording
is worth it, since the manner in which information is organized
plays vital role.
