Or something a bit different...

	Ducky Invite Purchase small rubber ducky's, you can usually get these online from www.hawkin.com Tie a tag around each duck's neck with the invitation. Tag message: To [name] this duck invites you, friends and fun await to excite you. We hope to see you on this baby shower date, Paddle on over, don't hesitate!
	Message in a bottle This invite is as simple as it sounds. An invitation is placed in a baby bottle. The baby bottle is then addressed and stamped. You can decorative the bottle with ribbon. Tag message: We can't keep it bottled up any longer . . . [Mum's NAME] is having a baby! Please join us! [Date] and [time] [ADDRESS]

Food
If you are planning to serve food and are not 'au fait' with what Mums to be can or more to the point can't eat, we've put a list of things we suggest you avoid (some of which you never consider for a baby shower lunch, but better to be on the safe side!):
- Raw meat/fish such as sushi, seafood, or rare/undercooked beef or poultry
- Raw eggs, or foods containing raw egg, such as Caesar dressing, mayonnaise, homemade ice cream or custard, unpasteurized eggnog, or Hollandaise sauce
- Soft cheese such as blue cheese, feta, Brie, Camembert, and Latin-American soft white cheeses such as queso blanco and queso fresco
- Fish containing accumulated levels of mercury in their fatty tissues such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish
