How to Make a Baby Footprint Invitation

If you want to immortalize a baby shower, it is best that you use the most popular symbol of a new born - a footprint. Create baby footprint shower invitations and you'll surely make the moment a very memorable event of your life.

Making invitations out of your own hands and artistic abilities is quite a challenge. But this is the very reason why it becomes a lot more special. Invitations uniquely made from each other means hard work. But it would give you greater rewards in the end because every detail you painstakingly consider becomes a lasting memory.

When making invitations for your baby, add a touch of color in each of the invite cards you are making as well. Try to put the baby footprint right on the cover so the recipients would have a good idea as to what type of party is going to be held.

Here are the materials you're going to need:

* Decorative paper
* Cardboard
* Ribbons, glitters, or colored sand
* Your baby's footprint
* Glue

To make a baby footprint invitation, you can use your computer to help you out with the text. You can simply type all the important information about the party through some popular desktop publishing software. If you don't have that, a simple word processing program would do. Make sure to put everything there, like the name of your baby, where the party's going to be held, the date it will be held, and your contact information for confirmation purposes.

Once the inside of the baby footprint shower invitation is taken care of, you now have a lot of designing to do on the front side of the invite card. Choose a cardboard that perfectly complements your baby's gender. Popular choice is blue for boy and pink for girl - that is if you already know the sex of the baby you're going to deliver.

Then you're going to put some footprints on the card. Make several patterns of small footprints on a decorative paper. Cut it out and glue it over the cardboard. Put some more decorations using of ribbons, glitters, or colored sand. Let your imagination soar. When done right, the baby inside you will surely have a very special shower that both of you would never forget. The more baby footprint invitations you make, the more people will come and share this happy moment of your life.
