Baby shower invitations have grown their own mini-etiquette: the registry line, the 'bring a book instead of a card' request, and increasingly a co-ed guest list. Say what kind of shower it is and the wording sorts itself out.
Starts from: “Baby shower for my sister Maya, botanical theme, Sunday afternoon tea, bring a book instead of a card” — edit anything once it’s designed.
Three directions — different wording, different design

Good to know
Guests skip the greeting card and bring a children's book inscribed with a note — the baby gets a starter library. It goes on its own line, usually in place of or beside the registry mention.
Yes — ask for any custom RSVP question in plain language ('add a question asking guests to guess the birth date') and it appears on the reply form.
Every example above regenerates as your event — your names, your venue, your date, verified.
