Baby Shower Welcome Sign Templates

Planning your baby shower stationery

Most hosts choose the invitation first, then use its collection as the visual plan for everything guests see later. Keeping one set of colors, illustrations, and lettering makes the envelope, entrance, food table, games, and thank-you note feel connected without asking you to rebuild the design for every item.

When to send and prepare each piece

Send or text the invitation about six weeks before your baby shower, or eight weeks ahead when guests will travel. Add book-request or raffle inserts at the same time. Confirm the wording, date, venue, and RSVP details before downloading. Two weeks before the event, finish signs and table pieces after the menu, guest list, and room layout are settled.

What to print for the day

A welcome sign at the entrance gives guests an immediate point of reference. Add a menu or bar sign beside the food and drinks, then choose only the table numbers, place cards, or seating chart your layout needs. One or two shower games are usually enough. You can buy these pieces separately and return to the same collection later.

Printing at home or at a shop

Cards up to 5 × 7 in usually print well at home on smooth, heavy cardstock. Use your printer’s actual-size setting and test one sheet before printing the full quantity. Larger signs, especially 16 × 20 in and above, are easier to order from a local print shop on poster paper or foam board. Export a print-quality PDF, check the final dimensions, and ask the printer whether bleed or crop marks are required.
