Office Baby Shower Invitation Wording
So, you’ve been tasked with planning a work baby shower, and it’s time to get down to business. One of your first priorities is to send out invitations.
As with any office event, the exact do’s and don’ts depend entirely on the work environment. However, in general, a baby shower at work is lower key and a little more buttoned up than one held outside the office. The invitations should reflect that, whether they take the form of paper invites, emails, or flyers.
Of course, before you can do much of anything, you need to get the basic details of the party nailed down. Once you have that information in hand, you’re ready to draft an invitation. For some ideas, check out these examples of office baby shower invitation wording.
