Free Baby Shower Invitations: The Best of the Bunch

Presenting ... The Cards! 

Happy Greetings Printable Baby Shower Cards

This site currently offers four totally free card designs.

Some pros: These are quarter-fold designs, and it's nice that they have an inside design as well as a cover design. It's a PDF, not a Word document, so you just print and go.

Some cons: the designs are a little sugary (or maybe even dated), a copyright notice and a few ads are plastered on the back of the card, the selection's small, and they can't be personalized at all, so you'll have to hand-write the info.

Moms Break - Free Baby Shower Printables

This site currently offers a number of card designs with cute, more modern images, which can be folded different ways.

Some pros: The site owner cleverly offers PDF files you can personalize before you print them out. Brilliant! It saves a lot of time compared to mucking around in MS Word with someone else's file.

Some cons: the site is laid out like a blog. There is no simple way to see all designs at a glance, and wording suggestions and general baby shower tips are jumbled in with the templates. In fact, it is actually pretty darn hard to tell how many templates she has. You'll probably also hunt around before you find the link to actually print the template (though it really does exist!)

Baby Shower Invitations by "Plan the Perfect Baby Shower"

Ooh, jackpot! This site offers about 20 distinct invitation styles which are crisp, clean and well designed.

Some pros: Really cute! These cards are definitely as sweet as some you'd find at the store.

Some cons: You'll have to muddle around in a word processor to make the most of these. Best idea: import into MS word and create text fields on top of these, so you can personalize them before printing. For a few more designs that are strikingly similar, see here.

Baby Shower Printables by Family Shopping Bag

This site offers about 25 distinct designs that usually break down into quarter-fold style cards.

Some pros: A nice variety, not just the same design in slightly different colors like you might find elsewhere. Some of these are really cute! Plus, this page also has some shower signs and gift tag templates ... can't beat that!

Some cons: If you want to personalize the info before you print them out, you'll have to insert them into MS Word or Publisher and add your own text fields.

Baby Shower Invitations by Baby Showers Revealed

Unbelievably hot cards! I was knocked out when I saw this site ... I couldn't believe the cards were really free.

Some pros: These cards are so freakin' cute, they're really in a design class of their own. Even better: they're editable PDFs, so you can insert all your wording right on the page and then print them straight out.

Some cons: This looks like a fairly new site, and at 11 designs there's not a lot of variety yet ... but the choices seem to be growing, and they take requests!
