Winglark

Baby shower

Someone new is on the way. The afternoon should feel as gentle as the news.

Tea and cake, a few games, a pile of tiny clothes and the friends who will be there for the first year. Often it is a sister or a best friend who organises it — the invitation and the replies make that part easy.

Baby shower

What you can set up

  1. Soft colours, your own words

    Start from a template or a blank page, choose the palette and the typeface, add a photograph, and preview the invitation exactly as a guest will see it.

  2. The afternoon in order

    Arrival, games, gifts, cake: the running order gives each moment a time and a place, and the guest page shows it, so nobody misses the opening of the presents.

  3. One question for the kitchen

    The reply page suggests a question about dietary needs — handy when some guests are expecting too. Reword it, make it required or add questions of your own, such as a gift list note.

  4. Partners welcome, if you like

    Plus-ones start switched on for a baby shower. Allow none, one or several per guest, for everyone or only for the guests you choose, and every companion is counted.

  5. The gift list, in the invitation

    Write where the gift list lives, or a note about second-hand clothes, into the invitation’s own text. It stays on the guest page for anyone shopping the week before.

  6. Friends from every part of life

    Import names from CSV or Excel, check likely duplicates before anyone is invited, and add a late name after the first send — only the new guest receives the invitation.

On the evening and after

The evening does not end at the door.

Each guest gets their own page for the evening on Companion, and the morning after AfterFlow thanks those who came and writes to those who could not — from the same guest list.

Baby shower

How people use it

A surprise shower

The organiser sends the invitations and receives every reply, and the guest page says only what you choose to write — nothing reaches the parents-to-be unless you invite them.

A shower for two households

Friends of both parents on one list, with duplicates flagged before anyone receives two invitations and a reply export ready for whoever is baking.

Friends far away

The invitation email and the reply page appear in each guest’s language, while the words you wrote stay as you wrote them.

Baby shower

Planning a baby shower: the four jobs

Baby shower invitation wording

Say whose shower it is, when and where, and whether it is a surprise, so nobody mentions it to the parents-to-be. Write where the gift list lives, or a note about second-hand clothes, into the invitation itself; it stays on the guest page for anyone shopping the week before.

How to collect RSVPs for a baby shower

Keep the reply short: coming or not, any dietary needs, and a partner if you allow one. Guests answer through their own link, so replies reach the organiser and never the parents-to-be, and anyone can change their answer from the same link until you close changes.

Making the baby shower guest list

Friends from work, family, neighbours, the antenatal group: gather names from every part of life, and from both parents if the shower is shared. Import them from CSV or Excel, check likely duplicates before anyone is invited, and keep the parents-to-be off the list if it is a surprise.

Welcoming guests to the baby shower

At home, the door is simply whoever is holding the teapot. For a larger shower at a rented venue, door check-in shows each guest a QR code and welcomes them by name, which helps when the person at the door has never met half of the guests.

Questions

Can I keep the shower a surprise?

Yes. Guests reply to the organiser through their own link, and the parents-to-be receive nothing unless you add them to the list.

Can I ask about gifts on the reply page?

Yes. Add a question of your own — a short answer, a choice or a yes or no — and every answer appears in the reply export.

Do guests need an account to reply?

No. They open the invitation, answer, and can change the reply later from the same link until you close changes.

Can partners come too?

Plus-ones start switched on for a baby shower, and you decide the allowance — none, one or several — for everyone or for chosen guests.
