Pastel designs for a baby shower or a traditional godh bharai. Add the date, the venue and a note, then share one link.
What goes on a baby shower invitation card?
A baby shower card names the mother-to-be, the host (often her mother, mother-in-law or a close friend), the date and time, and the venue. It can add a theme, a dress colour or a gift note.
In Nepal and among Madhesi and Marwari families, the gathering is often a godh bharai, where elders bless the mother with fruit, sweets and gifts. The card can name it either way, or both.

Who the card is from
Baby showers are usually hosted for the parents, not by them, so the host’s name goes at the bottom as the person inviting. A godh bharai is usually hosted by the family, and the card reads like a family invitation.
Useful lines to include
- Whether the event is women only or for the whole family.
- A theme or colour, if there is one.
- An RSVP date, so the host can plan food.

FAQ
Baby shower cards: common questions
- What is godh bharai?
- Godh bharai means filling the lap. It is a ceremony held late in pregnancy in which elder women bless the mother-to-be and fill her lap with fruit, sweets, clothes and gifts. It is common in Madhesi, Marwari and many Hindu families.
- When should baby shower invitations go out?
- Two to three weeks before the event is usual, so guests can plan and the host gets a headcount. Collect replies with the RSVP on the card link.
- Should a baby shower card mention gifts?
- It can, briefly. A short line such as your blessings are the only gift we need, or a note about a gift theme, is fine. Keep it to one line so the card stays about the family.
