NWR: Invitation wording for baby shower after baby is born!?

In Googling it, sounds like you should look for wording for an "Arrival Shower" rather than a baby shower. I would say to leave off registry information or anything about gifts at all, just say "Come celebrate the new baby!" Anyone that is inclined will likely buy a gift on their own anyway.

I was thinking along the same lines... ' come celebrate (insert sister's name) new bundle of Joy!' or 'help us welcome baby _____!'

My FH aunts hosted a "meet the baby" lunch after our son was born. It was an easy, non stressful way for both sides of the family to meet our son and each other. I believe they just didn't include any registry info on the invite, but I think everyone brought a gift anyway. We had a blast! Everyone got to snuggle the baby, we got a lot of advice and it saved us a lot of running around to all the different family members so they could meet him. Just a thought!

We had a meet the baby, some call it sip and see we just said that gifts were no necessary people tend to still buy a gift to these too though lol. Something about parties and not wanting to come empty handed.

Agreed my friend went into labor super early and had her... after a few months in the hospital the baby was able to come home.

Instead of a baby shower we had met baby Hudson, she got gifts and it was just like a shower expect little H was there.

For the shower invite it said... he surprised us and came early, but come meet Baby Hudson and shower the new mom with the essentials and bring advice!

We have done a few of these and our customers have said, "Welcome Baby ______" or "Its a shower to welcome baby ______."
