Baby shower invitations

We have finally completed the baby shower invitations.....for the most part.
It only took three days and three moms juggling children and duties.

What you'll need:
  • - Template which you can get 
  • - Regular sized card stock(1 or 2 colors)
  • - Scissors
  • - Tape
  • - Ribbon
  • - Hole punch


How To:
So your first step would be to print out the template. It will come out blue so if you don't want it blue you can use it as a tracer like we did.
It will look like this when your done. (Minus the holes)

Then fold. You can use the template as a guide for the folding. After a while you get the hang of where to fold. But this is what the front will look like after you have folded it. (Minus the holes)

Now take your hole punch and put in the holes for your ribbon.


We added black card stock to the inside. We got the design at picmonkey.com
We also added a diaper raffle invite. I uploaded the picture from Google on to picmonkey and wrote a little note :) we taped both those inside.

Then just fold it up and tie some ribbon in the holes. Tape them down. And Walla!
We added names and a cute card stock bat logo on the back.
