Baby shower invitations for a gentle, happy day

A baby shower celebrates the mother-to-be and the baby on the way. In many Indian families it sits alongside, or merges with, a traditional ceremony like godh bharai, so the invite may be part blessing and part party. It is usually hosted by a sister, a friend or the family, in the seventh or eighth month, when the mother is comfortable and travel is still easy.

    Track RSVPs

    On Pro (₹99), guests reply inside the invite and you see who is coming to each event.

funvite baby shower invites are soft and playful. A scratch card is a natural fit: guests scratch to reveal the date, or a cute line about the little one. Pro adds RSVPs and baby-shower games guests can play from the invite, like guessing the due date or a baby-name quiz.

What to include

  • The mother-to-be's name, and the father's if it is a joint celebration.
  • Who is hosting.
  • Date, time and venue with map link. Morning or afternoon events are easier on the mother.
  • Whether it is ladies only or open to everyone.
  • A gift note: a registry, a theme like books, or "blessings only".
  • Dress code, if any (pastels, or a colour).

A note on gender reveals

In India, prenatal sex determination is prohibited by law, so most families keep baby shower themes neutral. A scratch-to-reveal invite still works well for revealing the date, the venue, or the baby's nickname. If you are celebrating outside India and want a reveal, keep it to what your doctor has shared and what you are comfortable telling the world.

Keep the mother comfortable

Keep it short, keep seating comfortable, and plan food she can eat. Two to three hours is plenty, and an afternoon slot avoids late nights.

Wording

Wording you can copy

Change the names in brackets and paste into your invite or message. Every line on a funvite invite is editable, in any script.

Questions

Frequently asked

When is a baby shower usually held?

Most families hold it in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy, when the mother is comfortable and can still travel easily.

Is a baby shower the same as a godh bharai?

They overlap. Godh bharai is a traditional ceremony with rituals and blessings; a baby shower is a more Western-style party. Many families combine them. See our godh bharai invitation page for traditional wording.

Who hosts a baby shower?

Often a sister, close friend, mother or mother-in-law. Name the host in the invite so guests know whom to contact.

Can I add games to the invitation?

Yes, on Pro. Guests can play a baby-themed quiz or guessing game from the invite before and during the event.

What is the scratch card invite?

Guests scratch a foil card on their phone screen to reveal a line you choose, like the date or a message from the baby, then see the full invite.
