A Baby Footprint Makes A Great Baby Shower Invitation
by Sam Smith
If you are like many people you can easily get stuck when it comes to
the baby shower invitation. Finding the location, creating the guest lists
and buying a cake can seem easy compared to picking the right invitation.
The baby shower invitation will be the first impression that the guests
will have of the event. It is therefore important to convey a message
through the baby shower invitation.

One really fun and very popular way to do this is use a baby footprint
in the invitation. It is hard to resist the charm of a tiny little baby
footprint. Baby shower invitations with a footprint are so irresistible
be will just have to come to the shower.
So here are some creative ideas that you can use in creating your own
baby shower footprint invitation.
1. Printed - A simple printed baby footprint can be a ton of fun.
You can use a silhouette of a baby footprint to make the design. This
will show the heel, toes and side of the foot. It will look as if a baby
stepped in ink and then stamped the card with their feet. You can find
clip art online by searching, use a stamp, use a real baby or even just
freehand draw your own.
To put a little action into the baby shower footprint invitation you can
make a series of footprints and make them decrease in size from large
to smaller. This will give the illusion that the person leaving the prints
is walking into the card. This is a great way to draw the attention of
the viewer into the card and then place your important text information
right above this.
2. Stamps - Stamping has become a very popular craft and is use widely
among printers and crafters in the business of making invitations. You can
easily purchase baby footprint stamps of varying sizes from your local craft
store or on the Internet. These can make a fun and fancy decoration to the
invitation. There are so many things you can do by varying the colors, size
of the stamp and the paper the possibilities are really endless.
For example pick a cute pink (for girls) or a blue (for boys) ink pad and
stamp a tiny border made up of footprints all around the invitation. Don’t
worry to much about making them all straight or in line just have fun and
stamp at random. This will give the invitation a light fun feeling.
As an alternative you can purchase a large stamp and simply stamp a big
filled in silhouetted image smack dab in the middle of the invitation. Then
you can creatively with fun colored pens write all around the footprint
following the outline of it. This makes another fun creative and even whimsical
invitation.
3. Embossing - This is where the baby footprint is raised from the
page. There are two types of embossing. The first is by using a professional
printer and paying to have the cards done. A printer can actually emboss
the paper and have a raised footprint right in the paper. A baby footprint
embossed onto a beautifully textured pure white piece of paper can look
very elegant!
If you are the do it yourself type it is very easy to purchase an embossing
powder in stamping or craft store. These come in all kinds of fun colors
but often gold or silver embossing powder can look very elegant! With embossing
powder you will need a stamp and some ink. You start by stamping the invitation
with the baby footprint stamp first. Then before the ink dries you poor
some of the embossing powder on the stamped area. The embossing powder will
stick to the wet ink. You can then hold the piece of paper over a light
bulb or use an embossing gun to heat the powder. Once it gets hot it will
melt and adhere to the paper. This makes a fun and easy way to have a very
elegant gold embossed baby footprint shower invitation.
4. Cut Out - With this technique you will want to find some stiff paper.
Then you will pencil in an outline of a baby
footprint and cut it out. You can also make a simple stencil suing a
file folder and then quickly trace around the stencil and cut out to speed
up the process and make the results more uniform. Then on the baby of the
cut out footprint you can write all of your important baby shower details.
Where it will take place, RSVP information and so forth.
Either way that you choose the important thing to remember is to have fun
in creating the baby shower invitation footprint. Get some friends to help
you if you plan on making your own invitations as this will speed up the
entire process. It can also be more fun with a group of girlfriends around
a table talking and having a good time then cutting 25 baby shower footprint
invitations all by yourself.
As an addition to the fun, baby shower footprint invitation, it can be lots
of fun to continue with the footprint theme in decorating for the part.
You can use the same stamps and decorations that you used on the invitation
in other places to decorate for the shower.
Have the best baby shower!
