A baby shower should feel joyful, thoughtful, and easy for guests to say yes to. But once you start managing dates, dietary requirements, gift questions, plus-ones, venue details, and family messages, the planning can quickly spread across too many chats.

An online RSVP page keeps everything in one place. Guests can reply from one link, see the important details, add dietary notes, and understand what kind of celebration you’re planning before the day arrives.

How it works

  1. 1. Pick a design and add your details

    Choose a template, then add the date, venue and anything guests need to know. It takes a few minutes.

  2. 2. Share one link

    Send it by email, text or WhatsApp, or let Invitify email your guest list for you.

  3. 3. Watch the replies come in

    RSVPs, dietary needs and plus-ones land in one guest list, with reminders sent for you.

Planning tips

Send invites 4–6 weeks ahead

Baby showers are often easier to plan than weddings, but guests still need time to arrange their calendar. If people are travelling or the shower is near a busy holiday period, send invites 6–8 weeks ahead.

Set the RSVP deadline early

Aim for an RSVP deadline 1–2 weeks before the baby shower. That gives you enough time to confirm catering, seating, activities, favours, and any final venue details.

Make gift details clear

If there is a registry, gift preference, or no-gifts request, include it on the invite page. Clear wording helps guests avoid awkward questions and keeps the focus on celebrating the parents-to-be.

Collect dietary requirements upfront

Ask guests about allergies and dietary needs in the RSVP form, especially if you’re serving afternoon tea, brunch, lunch, cake, or catered food.

Explain who is invited

Be clear if the invitation is adults-only, family-friendly, partner-friendly, or includes children. Baby showers can vary a lot, so guests appreciate knowing what to expect.

Include the full venue details

Add the full address, start time, parking notes, public transport guidance, and anything guests should know about access, prams, or where to enter.

Mention the shower style

Let guests know whether it’s a relaxed brunch, garden shower, sit-down lunch, afternoon tea, games afternoon, or a more formal celebration. It helps them dress and plan appropriately.

Send a gentle reminder

A friendly reminder before the RSVP deadline helps guests who saw the invite, meant to reply, and then forgot. Keep it warm, short, and easy to respond to.

Pick one, add your details, and share. You can switch designs at any time before you publish.

Common questions

How far in advance should I send baby shower invitations?

4–6 weeks before the baby shower is a good rule of thumb. If guests need to travel, arrange childcare, or the event falls near a busy holiday period, send invitations 6–8 weeks ahead.

When should the RSVP deadline be for a baby shower?

Set the RSVP deadline 1–2 weeks before the event. This gives you time to confirm food, seating, games, decorations, favours, and any venue requirements.

What should a baby shower RSVP page include?

A baby shower RSVP page should include the parent or parents-to-be, date, start time, venue address, RSVP deadline, gift or registry details, dietary requirements, dress code if needed, and whether partners or children are invited.

Should I include gift registry details on the invite?

Yes, if there is a registry or gift preference. Keep it simple and polite. You can also mention if gifts are optional, if the parents prefer practical items, or if they would rather guests bring no gifts at all.

Should baby shower guests be allowed to bring plus-ones or children?

That depends on the type of shower, venue, and budget. The important thing is to make it clear on the invite so guests know whether the invitation is just for them, includes a partner, or is family-friendly.

Can guests RSVP without creating an account?

Yes. Guests can open the invite link and submit their baby shower RSVP without creating an account.
