Baby Shower Invitations

By Gary Pearson

Are you planning a baby shower? Perhaps you are in need of a theme. That's right, these days you don't just throw a baby shower, it has to have a theme too. There are many decisions to be made but the theme should get first consideration. Many baby showers these days have cartoon-inspired themes, and one of the most popular is the Winnie the Pooh baby shower.

The Pooh Bear theme was one that didn't come easy in the first place but after some consideration I really felt that it was a good choice. Once I chose the theme I started shopping for Winnie the Pooh baby shower invitations as soon as possible. It was during my time looking at the many options that I became a little confused.

I decided to start with the invitations, since they are the first thing one needs when planning a party. When confronted with the hundreds of invitation styles available, I almost had a panic attack. How do you narrow down such a large selection to just one itty bitty card? I decided the easiest thing to do would be to narrow it down to things I was familiar with. When I spotted some Winnie the Pooh baby shower invitations I knew I was on the right track.

I was pretty sure that I wouldn't use the baby Pooh designs. These characters are really cute and they do fit the overall event but these Winnie the Pooh baby shower invitation weren't my style. They are adorable but I really wanted something that was a little more personal. This left me with two other options to consider.

The classic Pooh designs are really attractive. This design offers muted colors and a softer feel. I really loved this look and these Winnie the Pooh baby shower invitations were very appealing to me. I could imagine the entire party decorated around this theme and that made the decision very tough.

The colors in the classic Pooh line are just so nice and soft, whereas the newer Pooh merchandise is so bright it becomes obnoxious. I wanted my friend's baby to have a calm beginning, to not be overwhelmed by all the colors.

Anyways, the choice was made so I grabbed by Winnie the Pooh baby shower invitations and then headed down the aisle to find more Pooh themed merchandise to help me throw the perfect shower. Regardless of what type of baby shower you are planning to hold, take a look at invitations first as they will help inspire you to find the perfect theme.
