It has been my experience and observation that some people spend far more money on the invitations than they do on the actual party itself.



It is very easy to get in over your head when it comes to planning for a baby shower, and if you are like a majority of most people I know, you may not have the money to spend on expensive engraved invitations to be oohed and aahed over.

That is why free baby shower printable invitations are a great way to go. But the questions still remains, where in the heck can you find them on the internet?

If you are reading this article I bet you have been on the keyboard side of the net looking for free printable invitations and have come to the same conclusion that I have.

Sure, you can find some invitations for free, but more than likely they will not be worth a flip and most certainly not custom made to meet your needs.

I came to the conclusion that if you want decent invitations you are going to have to either pay for them or create them yourself, but I suppose that is to be expected.

Anyone planning a baby shower wants to send out an invitation not only to capture the attention of your future guests, but to set the stage for a wonderful party.

Recently I helped plan a baby shower with my wife and was honey-do'd with a request to drive to a local card store to look at my choices for future invitations, and guess what?

I could not believe how much it was going to cost to have them custom-made. Heck, even the generic invitations were expensive enough, and they were just too impersonal and ordinary.

All I wanted to do was help out my wife and get some brownie points, but all I ended up doing was to immediately head back to my car and take it to the house to see if I could find any free printable baby shower invitations online.

I found some websites but quite frankly I was not happy with the quality of the end results of the invitations so I said the heck with it and decided to create my own.

With the rise of home printing technology and the convenience of the internet, it is possible to create and customize your own invitations from the comfort of your own home with the only expense being the cost of the printer ink and paper.

There are many places online that offer templates, and all you have to do is download them, open them up in your favorite image processing software, modify the contents to suit your needs, and then print them out.

While some may choose to use expensive top of the line image processing software to do this, it is possible to download cheap or even free image processing software programs that are easily powerful enough to accomplish your particular tasks.

As for the benefit of your own party, I would suggest downloading the trial version of Microsoft Publisher to test your own creative skills. By the time the trial ends you will have all that you need and more.

I am more than positive that you will be able to come up with a true winner and not have to pay someone else for quality invitations, and who knows, you may just have other people asking you where you got them made from.

But no matter what course you eventually take. I wish you all the best in your quest for the best free baby shower printable invitations, and your upcoming celebration.
