Wording rules worth knowing

  • Showers are usually held four to eight weeks before the due date; send invitations four to six weeks ahead.
  • A registry line is fine on a baby shower invitation.
  • Sip-and-sees happen after the birth, often when the baby is a few weeks old, and are usually drop-in.
