Who To Send A Baby Shower Invitation To...

We have family and friends who live far away but who would want to be at the shower if they could come because they are important people to us, even though most likely none of them could make it. Is it okay to send them an invite so they know we thought of them?

Is it okay that the invitations also have where we are registered on them?

Our Answer:

Hi,

Thank you for your baby shower etiquette question. You are totally fine to send a baby shower invitation to close friends and family who live out of state. It is a great way to help them feel like they are part of the celebration even though they are too far to attend.

You are also ok to include the registration information on the invite. Just keep it small, at the bottom and a one liner. It is just a gift suggestion so it needs to be non obtrusive.
