A baby shower invitation sets the tone for the entire afternoon. Get it right and guests arrive excited, prepared and gift-ready. Here are twelve digital ideas that feel personal and not generic.

1. Watercolour woodland animals

Soft foxes, bunnies and bears on a cream background. Works for any gender and ages beautifully on social shares.

2. Pastel rainbow over clouds

Perfect for rainbow babies and welcomed by every guest list. Add gentle confetti motion for extra warmth.

3. Vintage book pages

"A new chapter begins…" with classic storybook typography. Lovely for literary parents.

4. Botanical greenery + gold

Eucalyptus and olive branches on white, gold script. Reads grown-up and timeless.

5. Gender reveal countdown

A live countdown ticking down to the moment of the reveal. Magnetic for guests.

6. Polaroid photo collage

Three or four photos of the parents-to-be at different ages. Hugely heart-warming.

7. Tropical safari

Giraffes, palm leaves and warm sunset gradients. Great for summer showers.

8. Boho desert

Terracotta tones, pampas grass illustrations and clean serif type.

9. Storybook clouds and stars

Dreamy navy background with gold stars. Especially sweet for evening showers.

10. Minimal line-art bump

A single line drawing of a pregnancy silhouette. Modern and elegant.

11. Tea party

Vintage china, floral linens and a calligraphy headline. Perfect for high-tea showers.

12. Animated lullaby invitation

This is our favourite — a custom personalised lullaby with the baby's planned name plays gently in the background as the invite opens. Guests genuinely keep these in their camera roll.
