ABC Baby Shower Invitations
I made these fun ABC baby shower invitations for a friend and I thought I would share them with you all as well! Downloads and instructions follow the photo.
Instructions:
1. Download the pdf(s) of your choosing. I have made two sizes available. The square size when finished is 6” x 6” (these cost a bit more to mail). The standard size finished is 4 1/8” x 5 1/2” which fits into a standard invitation size envelope. There is a front and back file for both sizes so make sure you download everything you need!

2. Print the files on cardstock. I used a bright white linen textured cardstock.
3. Cut out the invitation. For the front (abc side), cut out using the stripes as the border, don’t forget to cut the corners. For the back, cut along the orange line. I used a paper cutter for nice smooth cuts.
4. If you have a scoring tool, score along the faint white line that cuts through the stripes on the front side. This will be your fold line.
(by the way, the text may look a little funny on these because I had to get rid of last names and addresses!)
5. Flip over and fold along your newly scored lines.
6. Put a small piece of adhesive onto the backside of the abc cardstock piece. Then, with the back cardstock piece of the invitation (the one with all the info), adhere it to the back of the abc piece.
7. Put your sewing machine setting on zig zag and sew along the back of the invitation along the stripes to made the folds stay in place.
You now have a finished invitation!
The back of your invitation will look different as you will have to write in the info yourself. I didn’t think you would want your guests showing up at my house!
Feel free to use these for any shower you throw but please keep these for personal use only! I will continue to make freebies as long as they follow these guidelines :)
Also, once they are completed they would make really cute artwork for a baby room. If anyone tries it, let me know!
I am happy to change colors to match your theme or change the info on the back of the invite for a fee. Contact me for pricing if you are interested.
enjoy!!!
